Does anybody else have issues with people not listening/interrupting you all the time?

I don't understand why, and maybe it's just me thinking that this is the case, but I feel like all the fucking time people are interrupting me and not fucking listening to me finish what I'm saying. I would love to understand why this is, or what I do that leads people to believe that what I am saying is unimportant and not worth listening to. Does anybody else experience this? Or does anyone have an explanation for me perhaps? I am not soft spoken, nor am I shy. I am loud, outgoing, and the fault I see in myself is that I'm too nice. I think that when people interrupt me or don't listen to what I'm saying I just let it slide over and over again because I'm too fucking nice. Instead I should either a.) ignore them back or b.) politely or not so politely explain that I wasn't finished talking.

Can anybody relate? I just needed to rant, I apologize.

spark notes: people interrupt me all the mother fucking time, i fucking hate it. Anybody have a similar experience. /rant, fuck people who are rude.

also, sorry for my excessive use of "fuck"

hahah, i had a friend like that, it really bugged me. but yeah it could be a case of you being a timid person versus talking to a lot of loud mouths. if not then, one day it might just help to be like "hey, can you let someone else talk for once" kind of thing, or let me finish ...it kind of worked but i guess maybe because we were having a serious convo...

Yeah, that happens to me sometimes. If it's not important I usually just let it go, but if it's something that matters I try to let people know, by saying "So as I was saying..." or "Anyway..." or something.

Or just yell really loud, that works too.

my mind started wandering about half way through that. care to repeat it?

i kid i kid,,,


just be assertive, when you speak, people listen. there is however a difference between asserting yourself and being an ass/bitch.

This happens to me all the time. All the fucking time. Makes me feel so unimportant and useless. If it bothers me enough I just stop interacting sometimes I just leave. If I'm with certain buddies, I pout until they get the picture.
Usually though, I just stew and get super pissed off for like 10 minutes and then forget about it.

maybe you have a push-over personality. Exert your authority in conversations and command the attention of your target with eye contact and emphasize words. Either that, or just say something absolutely ridiculous to get their attention.

if that fails, you probably just have lettuce in your teeth, are annoying, or just have terrible breath (halitosis)

I can relate to this very much. I have a cousin that will not even show you attention til you scream his name in his face, and then he gets angry and says "What do you want?" or "I heard you but I was doing something."

As for being interrupting me, people do this to me a lot too. I just stop talking when that happens.

you could just be hanging out with a bunch of immature douche bags. I never get interrupted except by this one retarded kid who thinks he's the shit, doesn't get girls, is bad at skiing, a borderline alcoholic and is still a virgin

Just say:

"Sorry...err I'm pretty sure I hadn't finished speaking"

"Did you parents not tell you that it's rude to interrupt?"

or wait until they have finished and completely ignore what they have said and start with
"AS I was saying...[continue speaking]"

Usually jokes on the person who interrupted you. Especially if you can make a joke out of someone who always interrupts.

I kinda used to have this problem, but I ended up turning it on the person who was being rude. Problem solved, jokes on them, they stopped doing it.

whenever i am in a rap battle, i spit out a banger first line, and everyone interrupts and congratulates me before i can finish my flow.
makes me want to cut a fool.

chances are you are a good listener who thinks too much before they go into a conversation. stop waiting for gaps to speak your piece and start what you are trying to say before the other person even stops. Its not a matter of cutting people off, but just knowing when to jump into the conversation.
