I discovered today (again? had I forgotten?) that I am an interruptor. I caught myself doing it over lunch with two friends, and 'fessed up to it, and one of the friends verified that it was true, I do sometimes interrupt. So it's noticeable. (crap!)
It's nice to have engaging conversations that bring this about, anyway. It's a good indication of an interesting relationship or information flow.
But...here's a challenge to myself to listen more, and not plan on what I'll say next before the person even finishes her thought! And to all you audience members out there who I've interrupted: know I love you dearly and care about your thoughts. And if you tell me to stop interrupting I won't be offended. Promise.
