[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it's hard to have good conversations with people who have different processing speeds.[/quote]
I agree. I think people need to candidly ask themselves if everyone interrupts them or just a couple of people. If the former, you’re talking too much and/or too slowly.  You need to learn quick back and forth conversation and not expect people to just stand there and listen. If the latter, it’s probably them. Same if you’re an interrupter. Do you interrupt everyone or just a few people?[/quote]

I agree with this too.  I'm an interrupter and know it's a bad habit.  I'm much, much better as an adult -- but that's simply because I've grown up and learned more social etiquette.

All that said, the reality is that some people are astoundingly boring, or they ramble, or have little to say.  As an adult, I can really recognize how boring some people are.  The people I've always connected best with are not boring people, have a lot to say (as much as me) and I really like listening to them so I'm less inclined to interrupt.  I've also always been popular and well liked, and can state confidently that most people do not find me boring.

So yes, there are some people who are just really difficult for me to not interrupt -- but I'm an adult, so I don't interrupt them.  It doesn't mean I enjoy talking with them though :)

PS some people are just interrupters regardless of who's talking.  My boss is one, particularly of women.  That's crazy annoying.  [/quote]
