    1. Bad manners, mom and dad did not teach a person that interrupting is not pleasant; alternatively, there is a difference in national cultures (somewhere it is decent to interrupt, somewhere it is only in special cases, and somewhere it is unacceptable, and if people belong to different cultures, there may be a discrepancy in models of polite behavior);
    2. Vivacity of character-mom and dad taught, a person knows that you can't do this, but he can't resist-his reactions are so fast;
    3. Feature of the moment: it is so significant for a person to say something important right now that he goes for a violation of etiquette;
    4. Manipulation-experienced negotiators know how much you can knock your opponent out of working order by interrupting them in time;
    5. A person is very tired of listening and wants to stop the verbal waterfall pouring out on him at all costs.
  1. I interrupt in the following cases:

    • I don't always know if the person has finished speaking or not, is waiting for my answer, or is just taking a deep breath. When I don't guess, I interrupt.
    • When I know what the person is going to say next and I already have a line ready that makes no sense of their further words, it can be either an argument or a story.�
    • When I need to ask a question about what was said or add something to what was said right now, when it is relevant, and not when the person finishes talking.
  2. People interrupt for many reasons. This includes self-doubt, manipulation, parenting, and self-centeredness.
    But in all these reasons lies the problem of communication with people.
    When a person is focused on himself, it seems to him that his story is more interesting, his advice is more important, and his opinion is very necessary here and now. Such people can't stand it when the time comes for them and the stars will light up brighter. If they do not have time to speak out, then there is a sense of uselessness. And this is exactly what people are afraid of when they interrupt and just want to be more important and first.

  3. I interrupt, and start telling the story myself-when I realize that the human is a vampire of my time.

    I interrupt when I help a person find the right words.

    I interrupt when I realize that the topic is not interesting or the person is lying.

    In general, there are many reasons.

    Question: Why do you react like this when someone interrupts you?

    1. because they are not interested in listening further, but are interested in speaking out.�

    2. because in this way they assert themselves: those who can interrupt have a higher status, and those who will eat and listen have a lower status.

  4. I have such a problem, I often interrupt. And this, unfortunately, has nothing to do with the fact that I am not interested in the interlocutor. And I think it is rather doubtful that I can assert myself in this way.

    This happens when the other person tells a story, and I really want to share my opinion, emotions, or story where such an experience occurs. Most often, when you sincerely try to finish listening to your friend, after that, your idea becomes irrelevant or you just forget it later.

    I always interrupt unconsciously, and I always have to apologize. I try to deal with this, it helps to keep a notebook (or phone) with me to write down my thoughts. And when you've finished listening to the other person, you can calmly speak out.
