interruptions - why we hate them

Post Reply New Topic

I believe we say nothing or blurt out what we have to say as a continuous stream because we hate being interrupted and losing the thread of what we want to get across. We would rather listen or speak non-stop than have our thoughts broken up by constant questioning,

Please tell me about it. I get extremely angry and frustrated people people interrupt me.

I totally relate to that! I can be in the mood for speaking and letting nothing get in my way; get a word edgewise with someone; have the crowd silent for one second, at least.

I do find it ironic, but I hate interruptions as well... even though I interrupt people ALL THE TIME without really meaning to. When a thought enters my head, I must say it right then or else I'll lose it. I cannot stand when someone says "let me finish what I'm saying", because I know that more than likely, others can remember it just fine even after I talk.... but I cannot remember it 5 minutes after waiting, or I won't hear what the other is saying anyway because I'm mentally reminding myself over and over or mouthing it over and over while they are talking.

I dunno, it just seems easier to let me blurt it out then continue what you were saying rather than to either be ignored because I'm trying to remember it, or have me frustrated and stressed out about the situation.
