I've been very guilty of doing that because of nervous energy; less as I've grown older. I'm also guilty of one-upsmanship; that is, when someone tells a story, I counter with something bigger. I didn't realize that people would be put off by that, because my intention was just to support the premise that yes, that kind of thing happened to me, too. My intention wasn't to denigrate their experience. Now that I'm aware of it, I try not to do that, either. This conversation thing is very hard for me. It only works for me with someone as socially inept as I am! Then we can talk all day!
I have a coworker who does this and it is so annoying. It boggles my mind of how oblivious she is to how annoyed we are. And most times she interrupts just to repeat things that she’s already said ten times before.
Wow, I hate that and the only way to help her is to tell her or just cut her off repeatedly next time she does that to you or others. Make sure you explain why you did it in love but let her know it's just not polite.
hello , i have a bad habit of interupting...i have been working on this , as it is such an undesirable trait . i don't suffer with one-upmanship , as my life is interesting enough , without embelishment . another reason people interupt is because , they feel they won't remember to make the point , when they get the chance . i have been getting much better , but still , there is room for improvement . thank you , for addressing this ...you're a doll . take care............
@mizfrenchtwist Exactly why I do it! - so I've learned to bring pen and pad to write it down quickly for later, and not interrupt. I love your name, it reminds me of one of my favorite memories of my deceased Mother. We were in Mass when I was eight or so. Ma kept darting her eyes to the back of a womans' head in the pew in front of us, so I looked. She had a beautiful French twist - impeccable - along with her style and perfume. Thing is, there was one of those old ratty 1950's turquoise snap curlers right in the middle in back. Naturally, I blew my teeth out laughing, (and as usual, when she did this to me, she acted horrified) - but not even the Pope laughs out loud in a Catholic Mass...silence - so I did the walk of shame out the exit. She came out a few minutes later, and we laughed the whole way back home. I thought you might enjoy my memory, too. My best😁xx
Awww you're so kind, thank you! Yes I had to cut some of it off and I love it at this length. It grows back fast but I will keep the bob for a while and use a ponytail when I want some length.
Yes I do this when I'm excited in fact me n my besti do it to each other then apologise to each other and laugh we are definitely excited and never run out of any thing to talk about x
Honestly I just give up and listen, to the point where they get uncomfortable… I don’t know what else to do cuz it’s like it’s everyone now! Or maybe it’s me cuz I reconnected with an old friend and our conversation used to be fire 🔥 but now seems like she like everyone else too, so is it me!
I have a man who is doing this to me all the time I’m lucky to get 5 syllables out and he cuts me off I sound like a barking seal every time I try to speak with him It’s gotten so bad that I have started counting how many syllables come out of my mouth before he’s butted in And usually he is either cutting in to tell me one of the dozens of times a day that he says that he “loves ” me (lust is the correct word) or to tell me what to do or how to feel or dissect and hang on to every single word I say Including extremely uncomfortable topics. I’m not his girlfriend. I never have been. And I have been extremely clear telling him that I don’t want a romantic relationship with anyone and I just want to be friends He interrupts me constantly and gets very critical with things I have told him. He doesn’t want to accept my feelings I’ve even told him that I am planning to move out of state so I can be closer to my mom I’m not from the state I presently live in and I don’t want to stay here and he starts in about our “relationship “ How can I politely and clearly handle the interruptions and him not accepting that I’m not his girlfriend? I don’t want to be rude. But I don’t want to be in any romantic relationships and especially not with someone who cuts off everything I try to say.
I've done this in the past and I think the reason was because I wanted to prove to myself that I could be a part of a conversation and get my point across. I ended up cutting someone else's point right off
Some people do this because they have thought processing/ memory issue and taking notes or recording conversation not in class room, training seminar setting is not appropriate So, I don't say anything, stay attentive, maintain good eye contact, and enjoy the conversation. Unfortunately, some people think your dense or dunce and they dismiss you. Thank you for suggesting and giving examples on non intrusive questions, aka keeping your questions lite when communicating. If 🤗
I have a friend that never allows anyone to say anything. We go for walks often, my moments of self-silence.... I feel sorry for her in many ways so l listen to the same complaints again and again.
Someone close to me dose this alot, and I respectfully made them aware of what they were doing. Needless to say this person still dose so I don't even bother entertaining conversations with this individual.

Thoughts well taken and yes we all have to work on this issue from time to time!
When I speak on the line with my Sister 🤦🏽 its a "struggle conversation". She's a true "cut-off" artist. She loves to do the "1 up you" 1

My pleasure and thank you for your good advice.

First of all, I love how you keep trying new things with your hair. Okay, now let me watch.
Awww you're so kind, thank you! Yes I had to cut some of it off and I love it at this length. It grows back fast but I will keep the bob for a while and use a ponytail when I want some length.
@@SabrinaSamuels, You're a VERY beautiful young lady.
Maybe in some instances it can be a form of nervousness, but I honestly think a lot of time it is actually excitement.
Yes I do this when I'm excited in fact me n my besti do it to each other then apologise to each other and laugh we are definitely excited and never run out of any thing to talk about x
Thanks for this segment on being a good conversationalist. This is a an area that I'm working on. You made a lot of great points.
Thank you so much and yes we all can put a little work in when it comes to this subject.
Thank you for your insight and guidance. They are helping to make me a better person.
My pleasure, thank you!
That’s me. Thanks for explaining. I really HATE that I do this. I will practice self control ❤️
Good for you to want to be a better conversationalist!
Honestly I just give up and listen, to the point where they get uncomfortable… I don’t know what else to do cuz it’s like it’s everyone now! Or maybe it’s me cuz I reconnected with an old friend and our conversation used to be fire 🔥 but now seems like she like everyone else too, so is it me!
I have a man who is doing this to me all the time
I’m lucky to get 5 syllables out and he cuts me off
I sound like a barking seal every time I try to speak with him
It’s gotten so bad that I have started counting how many syllables come out of my mouth before he’s butted in
And usually he is either cutting in to tell me one of the dozens of times a day that he says that he “loves ” me (lust is the correct word) or to tell me what to do or how to feel or dissect and hang on to every single word I say Including extremely uncomfortable topics.
I’m not his girlfriend. I never have been. And I have been extremely clear telling him that I don’t want a romantic relationship with anyone and I just want to be friends

I don’t want to be rude. But I don’t want to be in any romantic relationships and especially not with someone who cuts off everything I try to say.
Hello Sabrina, I just love your video on Etiquette & Lifestyle Coach.. I will be order my online training program very soon.
Thank you so much and thank you for your future order!

So good you are aware of what you do so you can control it. Trust me we all have to put ourselves in check from time to time!

Wise words, I think most people are guilty of doing this.On a side note your hair looks fab.Good to see you again😊
Thank you for the hair compliment! Yes we all can be guilty from time to time of talking over people...
First!! Love your videos Mrs Samuels!! ❤️🥰
Thank you, my pleasure!
I was so excited to see a new video from you 😊
Thank you!
I have a friend that never allows anyone to say anything. We go for walks often, my moments of self-silence.... I feel sorry for her in many ways so l listen to the same complaints again and again.
I hear you but remember when you are taking time out for walks don't let her continue to put negativity in your space.
Someone close to me dose this alot, and I respectfully made them aware of what they were doing. Needless to say this person still dose so I don't even bother entertaining conversations with this individual.
Where are you from Ms. Sabrina. You have somewhat of a Southern flare. Are your roots in the South?
You look lovely. Good advise.
Thank you so much!
I can’t even watch this because the intro is too long.
Google Sherlita Bennett I wanna meet you
Feel free to give me a call.
Your disposition is stiff and dry.
Sorry about that pretty lady...
