Do you listen to people when they speak or try to interrupt?

I personally dont like, people interrupting in others speech. If that is that necessary to interrupt in between the speech he/she should seek the permission of the speaking person.

No, there is no one in my family like that... but I have a friend like that. I don't even care to talk to her because I can't get a word in without her interrupting me. I can't express my thoughts because she is always butting in.. it's all about her. I don't even speak to her much anymore at all due to that.

I have a friend who is just like that! What's really funny is that when she butts in, she's talking about something completely unrelated to the conversation I'm having with another friends. Me and a friend were talking about a Math's test and how hard it was. The other friend who likes to randomly butt in interrupts our conversation by asking what rice cooker I use because I was eating rice. She is seriously so random but it does tend to get pretty annoying, especially when she wants to be heard. When she wants to talk to you but you're talking to someone else, she'll keep patting you on the shoulder until you listen to her. She's so persistent and she'll start calling your name over and over again like the guy Sheldon in the show "The Big Bang Theory"

yes i have and i consider that me and you are on the same boat.Its a comman thing that i am bieng interuppted by someone in between one of my friend does it and he is so self obsessed with himself that his own aura arround him bilnds his vision and he feels that he is the king.He alwayshave a habit of intruppting me but also others in beetween trying to pitch in and always have the aim to steal the spotlight but these type of guys are called just loosers and nothing else they think that they are doing a right thing but infact their acts are foolish and immature .One day we were sitting in the statistics class and you know how boring it is to sit in stat class ,we were having a discussion and after so many hicupps v reached a consensus but at that time he pitched in between and tried to summiries the discussion when nobody even wanted him to do and it started altogather.It was because our teacher is perfectionist at heart and she get engrossed in teaching that somethime we even have to skip our lunch to listen to her.So you know how desoeratly we wanted to her to finish the lecture but looser pitched in and spoiled even the last oppertunity to fisnidh the lectire and it began all oveer again

My experience is that there are more people who are more eager to continually speak wanting to hog the attention. I find this at workplace as well as in social circles. Little do people realize that to be a good speaker, one has to be a good listener first. Especially in professional life.If people are not speaking they are not even listening attentively when others speak. Call it indifference or extreme self boast they just keep looking the other way or remain uninvolved. Such attitude upsets me no end. It is more noticeable in these days when everything happens in eternal hurry. At home too when relatives gather, I have noticed that every one is more eager to have his/her say, without giving opportunity to others' voice. In the end it gets so chaotic and shrill, no one focuses well on the others' points. I for one won't give up though. I make people around me realize that they are poor listeners and insist on them restraining their talk so that every one gets a chance to make a point and all others listen.

Yup I encounter same thing too.People have different ways thus sometimes even if its difficult to understand, but you have your choice if you talk to that person or just walk away.But maybe that person may change when you talk and tell honestly that it is not nice what that attitude being displayed its either in the family or in the community.

I listen and I interrupt also.

I think that you should always be there and take the time to listen to people who you know and love if you find that they feel the need to talk to you. Sometimes, just being there for somebody when they need to chat can really help in their life and can make them feel an awful lot better about everything in their lives. I have a friend who has always listened to me when I have wanted her to, and she has honestly made a much bigger difference in my life than she will ever have really realised. I plan to write her a letter one day and tell her just how much good she has done to me.

Hello sreekutty, No. At least in my family such kind of people are not there. But I know a lot of people who would send you mad with their incessant babbling. I too wonder what makes them so as they are mature enough to judge things. In my locality there three such people who I always try to keep off. Even if come across by chance I make excuses that I have very urgent appointment or i am too busy in my work and would catch him later. So far I know it is very difficult to bring such people to normalcy.

That is a common problem. Mostly with our family or friends. I guess one thing that you can do is just trying to ignore her. You can always give way to her comment or idea but it does not necessarily mean that you are agreeing to which whatever it is that she is saying. Just don't be rude towards her and you can also come up with different ideas that might can her ears.

i listen to them and clarify whatever doubts they have..

In family none,but lot of my friends are like that.They always wanted to be the the center of attention by talking and talking.For me, I'm a good listener and know where to reply.

A radio is a motor mouth. He.she is a person who speaks non stop. Trying to interrupt is a sign of a person having a different POV. Or the person just being crazy!!!!

It depends from person to person and also on his/her moods. For example when I'm calm and composed I like to listen to people. When I'm not I may interrupt. I may interrupt just for the fun of it just to irritate the other one or when I disagree. So it really depends; you can't tell. Hope it helps.

People who keep interrupting are really not polite so I can't be with them too, if I get interrupted and I see the person is like that i'll speak louder and interrupt the interruptor, lol.

unfortunately I do. I have couple of people I know that like to butt in and always cut people saying when they were conversing. it is really annoying. well most other people I know when dealing with this kind well, they ignored him/her. but sometimes they are unbearable people would just stop to talk to him/ her.
