I am in healthcare and communication with patients and family is very important. Im getting lots of tips from you. Sometimes I have to interrupt patients who go on a tangential. I like to learn the best ways to do it without looking bad.

Interesting video. I noticed that I tend to interrupt someone when I have ideas to add or I don't agree what they are saying. So I interrupt them to insert my ideas, especially on the topics that I am passionate about. For topics that I don't know much, I do tend to listen more and ask questions (probing) in the conversation. I find that's how I learn from the experts is by asking questions.

My dad was loud, always speaking over everyone and it became a coping mechanism. I also had social anxiety and a speech impediment so I wasn’t taken seriously. I saw someone else comment here with a similar experience. I wasn’t even aware that I did this for a long time. Thanks for this video.

Same, my dad always interrupts me and after his repeated the same point 1000 times he tells me the conversation is over even after i haven't said my points.

I interrupt and don't mean to. I hate myself for it but am unaware in the moment.

I tend to interrupt when - I'm very excited about the topic and have ideas to add - I feel comfortable with the person I talk to - When I think person is going to do/ take something wrong - Time is under pressure I tend to speak up less when - another person has authority - Time is not an issue in a conversation

I was not heard as a child and adult , because of my speech impediment. I am not taken seriously when it comes to expressing myself. So when get something on my mind to say , then it forgotten by the time the person is talking gets done talking. It's also a habit I got from authorities talking over me , then don't let me talk when it's my turn. By the time it's my turn , I am so frozen with fear. I can not think straight. After wards , I have lost my chance to express myself . I have bottle it up , or express it in another way it is unsatisfying. I don't work anymore, but I am tired unaware of my interrupting my love ones.

Same!

I learned that when I interrupt I am asserting myself based on something that someone else has or doesn't have.

Very valuable teaching. Practicing self-governance is important. No one likes a know it all who interrupts. I am now following Dr. Lee. No one is too old to learn new ways.

I appreciate you, Matt!

Omg I am that person 😥

Great video, thank you . I would love to see you give examples of what you are teaching in role play

It’s better to keep it passive. Otherwise, your audience may view you as an ill-mannered person who interrupts an interlocutor who essentially speaks to his/her audience.

the think is tho Im not passive or aggressive, while my boyfriend is talking I tend to interrupt him. its not purposely and I juts get is excited that I do. its caused a ton of problems and I wanna help. im still os confused after watching all these videos.

Haha same story it's not that easy to apply to personal relationship

Wow. Dr. Lee thank you for sharing such insightful information.

How have I learned not about myself in the last 12 minutes that in the entirety of my adult existence. Thank you so much for this. I never knew why I was passive around men, and interrupt women. It’s a hard truth to handle but a great first step to self improvement and self governance! First video of yours I’ve seen and wow! Impressed!

Greatfull for all these remainders

I interrupt because everyone has been talking for twenty minutes straight and then they will leave quickly without acknowledging me.

excellent topic

I have a colleague that constantly interrupts me during meetings. I learned here that she might be feeling inadequate and I sometimes go passive.

People interrupt me ALL THE TIME. I was TODAY years old when I realized it has more to do with their own insecurities 😅

I'm a teacher and I do this all the time with my coworkers.....I'm embarrassed about it.

Q Dr. Lee I get so excited when I am speaking with someone....I tend to interrupt when I resonate with the speaker....but sometimes they don't get to their point....I am working on this?

I have recently been diagnosed with severe adhd at 36. I’m only barely exploring what my individual “symptoms” might be due to ADHD (and spending my life as undiagnosed) vs. What is more likely a result from also getting to have cptsd and ptsd…. So much of that defined distinction is so blurred or possibly can’t be known for sure….. ugh!! I wish there was a therapist locally or that I have ability to have access to anyway to help with that….

I see another reason for interrupting other than a need to assert oneself. It may come from a place where the interruptor believes the speaker "needs" to hear what you have to say. This is not good, of course, but I believe there may be more than just the one underlying reason presented here for being the interrupter.

I feel like this is my issue. I am working to be better for myself and relationships

Great tips here, but I wish u would gone more in-depth about what are and how to practice "self-governance", "principled" and "active communication". Maybe you explained it each in other videos, I'll have to pull them up.

Amber’s lawyers should watch this video haha

Welcome to my channel, Joseph!

I don’t get this, because I interrupt when I think I know more, not when I know less.

My boyfriend said I’m always interrupting him.
