View Full Version : I talk over people.

I have this habit that I didn't realize how bad it was til I heard myself on the radio.
For some reason, I have a really bad habit of talking over people in coversations. If there's an uncomfortable pause, I start to say something and then I accidentally step on the toes of someone who had the original statement.
Every time I call into R&F I do it unintentionally, and I sound like a complete asshole.
The problem is, I recognize it, but for some reason, I don't know how to stop it.

don't worry about it. howard stern and Michael Kay from the YES Network both do it, and they are professionals.

You're probably a bit self absorbed. I was gonna say you might be a bit of a self absorbed prick but I didn't wanna call names.
Stern and Kay are both self absorbed pricks. I do listen to em both, but mostly for Artie and Fred, and Joey and Don Legrecca

I do the same thing, constantly. I think the problem is with the other people who leave huge gaps in their thoughts. If you stop talking, I'm gonna start, so finish the thought.

I have a bad habit of mimicking the person im talking to. If they cross their arms I will to. I guess it's from watching all those Tony Robbins tapes. ughness

i guess self restraint may help you- i know it may sound dumb but try practicing it- mayeb when you are in a convo at work or whatever and when you feel awkward silence part happen...just let it be silent- let someone else break it up
Try not talking.
be nice kitty.....
