i am the yapper. sit down, put ur headphones on and eventually she’ll lock in, at least that’s what my friends do to me and it works. like body doubling and if the person i’m with is super locked in and not speaking to me then i get the motivation and do the same.

I would be honest

Lmk when you find the answer I have the same problem

Don’t find excuses because she’ll just find ways around them, just be honest about it in a nice way

Just say “I totally would but I have a hard time focusing with other people” just be honest it’s not a big deal

Study on your own?

Happened to me to and I said this, “You know I love talking with you, but that’s exactly why I can’t study together 😭 I won’t get anything done.”

oh lord i yap like that during study sessions. if she’s a good friend, just tell her to be quiet because you need to focus and she should respect that. i always tell my friends ahead of time that i am an impulsive yapper and if it gets too distracting just tell me to shut up and i will

Just be an adult and set boundaries. Tell her it’s for your own benefit and that you still like hanging out with her but set time aside outside of studying

I had this happen with my boyfriend. I told him if my AirPods were in I wouldn’t be able to hear him and didn’t want to be bothered. He proceeded to interrupt me multiple times so I told him if he couldn’t stop I’d be going on my own next time. It’s all about honesty
