It’s an interesting question! For those who interrupt, it can often be a subconscious behavior driven by excitement or a desire to contribute to the conversation. Sometimes, they may feel they have a lot to say and worry that they’ll forget their point if they wait too long. Others might not realize how their interruptions affect the flow of the discussion. It can also stem from a competitive conversational style where they want to be heard. Awareness is the first step to change, though; actively listening and being mindful of others can lead to more meaningful exchanges. What do you think might help people become more aware of their interrupting habits?
