How do you curb it?People don’t seem to get polite hints.If I get interrupted enough knock knock; who’s there; interrupting cow; interrupting co- MOOOO! times, I lose my train of thought!:)
“WAIT WAIT WAIT!! Let me finish what I was saying!!”
have you ever lost your thought of train??
When I get interrupted too many times, I just don’t say what I had in mind to say. His loss.
Lost my what?
interrupting is not a joke, a veryy bad habit & extremely rude!! every one of the 6 members of my immediate family (myself included, not so much my daughter ‘the Rebbitzen’)does it.
it can become somewhat of a ‘shouting’ match, with each person trying to speak louder than the other, or repeating what they’re saying until they dominate, to get their point across. obviously, each person thinks what they’re saying is more important.
when it comes to a family conversation with one of my children, I believe that I should ‘dominate’ because I’m the Mom (‘the Queen’).
but when I’m the bystander in the conversation & hear one of my immediate family members interrupting, I see how reallyy rude it is! and, of course, I see it in myself, too!… of which, I’m not proud.
it’s a very rude, thoughtless, bad habit… something that we need to work on: being (more) considerate of others!
What I find that works even for a real interrupter, is to say, “one minute”, and then continue. They’re not going to say, “no, I wanna interrupt.”
