1 person thinks this is worth it.
(What is RSS?)I know it was a problem, recognized it and made a conscious effort to improve I can’t say that I am a perfect person now and never interrupt but when i do I am conscious of my mistake and sometime even embarassed. I interrupt less,and I think that’s a huge improvement.
Most importantly though, when I do realise I ahve interrupted I actually make ammends but making sure to bring up what the other peron was saying so they can finish.
I think the reason I interrupt is because 1. What people say is stupid and I am not patient or nice enough to wait until their are finished to mock them. 2. I don’t like what I am hearing and I tend to avoid things I don’t like. 3. I am domineering. I realise that this is an entirely me issue but I just don’t feel like a good enough person to be open minded to my frist two points.
Maybe I am just so starved for attention and I have a lot to say so I will juist bowl over someone else and say what I gotta say. I notice it after I have done it and try to wrap up quickly but it would be nice to not do it in ther first place….
The nature of the business I am in requires me to calmly take peoples complaints that requires patience. Rule of thumb and the first thign we teach new hires. Just keep quiet until they run out of thigns to say/complain about and THEN you can begin what you need to. If I can do it at work you would think I could do it in my own life..
