People who interrupt you when you're speaking?

I understand where you are coming from! But I must admit that I am an interrupter too! I know this about myself, but I still do it and yes it is rude! I have a problem with my memory and I blame it on that, sort of. If I don't say what I need to say right away, it goes completely off my mind and then I lose track of the conversation because I am trying to remember what I wanted to say and that is all that I can think about at the time. So on her behalf I apologize and for all of us interupters!

Interrupting never bothered me that much. Where I grew up, and with my friends, it's a pretty normal part of conversation. If some one has a point relevant to whatever is being said at the time, I'd rather they interject a comment then and there, instead of waiting until the topic has changed. I would have more problems dealing with some one who is such a know-it-all, and who feels that anything they don't already know is unimportant. That's a slap in the face for people who thirst for knowledge and spend their lives learning. I'm probably just immature, but I get a lot of satisfaction when people like that are wrong about something...lol.

does your cousin know that a conversation is a give and take thing? i hate a know it all she should take in consideration that you have a opinion too and have a right to voice it as a human being.she wasn't the only person that learned something in life.

I have a friend like that and yes it do get to you after a while as it always seem like they know best where as they do not seem to have a clue what you are on about.Then they always seem to but into conversation when you are talking on the phone as if they can hear the full conversation as well as well as know exactly what is the answer,which also gets my back up.Happy Mylotting.

i too have many friends who interrupt when i speak i m not one of the speaking kind but i too need a chance to speak out

i really hate that kind of attitude..!!

That's so tacky and rude of your cousin, to do such a thing! I hate know-nothing know-it-alls. It's one of my pet peeves. An educated person can handle any type of conversation and has the decency to be a good listener and give the other one a shot at saying something. Talking with someone is just that: the communication between two people. It's not an unending ramble, it's not a drama-queen like monologue. She should get down from that self-assigned pedestal and start listening to what other people have to say. She can't live in self-sufficience.

I don't like to be around people who are like that. I have learned to just stop talking and let them talk. Chances are whatever I was trying to say would go right over their head anyway. Often when I stop talking they quickly have nothing to say.

I totally understand what you are saying. I really don't like it when people interrupt me especially when I give them the common courtesy and respect to listen to them when they are speaking. I understand that sometimes it is hard when you don't mean to interrupt and you have something very important to you that you want to get across to the other person. I find myself sometimes so deep in converstaion that I may end up cutting off the person but then I realize what I am doing and quickly apologize because I know that it would aggravate me. Therefore, I try not to do it. Sometimes people don't notice that they do. For these type of people, I let them know, "hey, you keep cutting me off." On the other hand, for those that do realize this, I simply don't have conversations with them anymore because I can't take it when someone is so inconsiderate. I had a friend that used to always do this and she just kept talking as if I wasn't speaking and she would talk louder than I would. I guess that's one of the reasons we don't speak anymore..among her other inconsiderate ways.

I hate when people interrupt people when their speaking. I mean that is not even nice. It's pretty annoying because the person who is interrupting you talks very much and they don't stop talking. So I hate when people do that.

When I was alot younger I was like your cousin. With patients of others to help me realize this, I have learned to stop and listen. I believe we all at sometime or another do this, we just have that in us to do. I try now to focus on what others are saying and if so add to it or just leave it alone. Knowledge is gained in both directions if we take the time to listen. I hope your cousin learns this too... No one person has all the knowledge of the world. Thats why we learn from each other.

Its really annoying. Its like you're talking about something and then suddenly the one you are talking to breaks in to what you are saying about without even listening to what you're about to say and the level of your energy on conversing suddenly was halted. Its the most infuriating thing.

It is funny that you brought up this discussion. I was complaining to my husband about this very thing. It seems every where I have visited lately there is always that person who does that. I am beginning to believe that it is the person who really has problems remembering and has to interrupt to get their two cents worth in. Then maybe it is they just don't really care to listen to the rest of your story. They need to have the attention on them for a moment.

Yeah it is really annoying and rude. You should be more strict with her and explain once and for all not to do that anymore. Well at least i would do so ..
