You won't be able to have a conversation with a person who constantly interrupts you. And the other person won't even realize that a disgusting impression is being formed about him. His mom and dad just didn't teach him the basics of communication.

We'll tell you how to behave with such an interlocutor.

Here are some good options that don't involve insults or breaking up relationships.

1. Let them speak out and don't get irritated. And when your interlocutor finally falls silent, politely ask if you can answer their question or continue their interrupted speech.

2. If you know that your opponent tends to interrupt everyone, at the beginning of your speech, announce that your monologue will last so many minutes, after which you will be happy to answer all questions.

3. Don't stop and continue your speech, but loudly, clearly, confidently, without worry. And if your interlocutor doesn't get it, insert the phrase "One minute, please" - and finish your thought.

Or just ask the person to let you finish.

4. Perhaps your interlocutor really has something to say, notice, or needs clarification. Ask a clarifying question, involve other participants in the conversation (if there are any).

But be prepared for the fact that the problem is not in your interlocutor, but in you.

You will be interrupted if the information you present is unverified, not in chronological order, or if there are other inaccuracies and omissions.
