Why do people keep cutting me off when I speak?


Recommended Posts

Honestly, I used to take it personally every time it happened until I realized that interruption isn't always about being disrespectful. I’d suggest you read the breakdown on Wedaf at https://blog.wedaf.com/blog/why-people-interrupt-in-conversations/ because it explains the difference between "cooperative overlap" and power plays. In my experience, some people interrupt because they are actually excited and want to show they agree with you! Once I learned to distinguish between someone being enthusiastic and someone trying to dominate the chat, I found it much easier to stay calm and steer the conversation back on track. It’s a total game-changer for maintaining your peace of mind in social settings!
