Do you cut people off during conversations?

I do that too. I am trying to stop as it is one of the things people do to me that make me mad as h...

NO!! But I know that the girls in my girl scout troop have that problem. I am working on it and some have gotten much better. There are a few that just can not stop! They will interrupt 4, 6 times in one meeting. I can under stand when we are all talking about some thing, but usually it is when I am talking to one person. They just come up and are,"Miss Tammy" "Miss Tammy!" I ignore them about 2-3 times then I just stop, ask them if they can hear me talking, and when they realize what that means, they will wait until I am done, but they still need that little reminder.

Lol I do sometimes but I never notice when I am doing it lol I know it is annoying as a couple of People do it regular to me lol so I just go quiet and then they ask why I am not saying anything lol well what is the Point they don't let me talk they are to busy telling me and not listening to me so I might as well be quiet lol

I used to, but have controlled the habit. I say controlled instead of broken because I am still compelled to do it - I have to practice patience and also be willing to let go of what I think is so important that I must state it then, because as a conversation lingers the statement may no longer be pertinent or I may forget what it was I was going to say anyhow. My husband has this habit of presuming what I am going to say. LET ME FINISH my own sentence please! I have come to realise that this habit is not only rude but it is also full of self pride... what makes me think that whatever I have to say is so much more important than what others are saying that I have to interrupt them? What makes me think that I KNOW what the other is going to say and I should answer them before hearing them out? so, as I said I share this condition with you of wanting to blurt out what is on my mind as it enters my mind - but after years of practice I have been able to suppress the urge to "butt-in" The fact that you have recognized this flaw in yourself is a big start in overcoming it.

Exactly this is what i do... i feel so bad at time because i feel bad too when someone does it with me!!

lol, I think I do that most often. I dont know but when someone is talking and I have something to say, I just blurted out whatever I wanted to say without even giving a chance for the other person to finish his/her conversation. It is rude like that but it is just a habit that need a little correction. This is one habit that I would like to change.

Sometimes it happens, when i am spontaneous and have own opinion or something forced me to say it right now. The art to be a good and PATIENT listener is not so easy indeed.

YIKES!!! yes I am very guilty of cutting off peoples conversations when they are talking with me. I have a memory recall problem so I think that's why I butt in so often. I think I am afraid I'll forget what was on my mind if I don't speak up right away. I find it very difficult to stop this trait of mine. It's hard. Most my family accepts this trait I show and they tend to such brush it off most times as it happens. not always but most times. Hahahaha. It can be very annoying as I've experienced mostly with my daughter whoms just like me in this are also. haha. Thanks for a good topic also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I try my very best not to do this, but sometimes I find myself interrupting the other person. I am really becoming forgetful and often I am so afraid that I will lose my train of thought that I will say, "let me interrrupt you just a minute and add this or tell you this...." Pathetic huh?!

My Loved One was excruciatingly bad about this for the longest time! I got so desperate, I resorted to cutting her off right back, loudly decrying the rude behavior to anyone present. It doesn't happen nearly as much now, so I can tolerate it better. My bad habit is, I have a tone of voice that acts on most humans like nails on chalkboard. I have to be careful not to slip into it when somebody makes me mad, because once I do, everyone stops listening!

Yes, I am guilty of it too. My husband is very laid back and would never get mad about it, but I know it would make ME mad if he did it to me.
