Minnesota, If you acknowledge that you speak ahead, then you're already half way there. Try your best to let others finish if you believe that this is a problem for you. Take deep breathes while others are speaking and this will give you time to collect your thoughts. Sylvie, Bilingual Health Educator

hi, I'm guilty of this as well. I do it to slow talkers, I seem to be a question ahead of the answer. It drives my husband mad. I'm going to try harder not to do this, it's is not polite. Even if I know the answer, I asked. I will try to listen. maybe we are quick thinkers.

HI, I find a lot of the time, I am in a conversation, but the other person is talking, and I just keep cutting them off and adding my two cents worth. I feel I need to get my sentence in without giving them a chance to carry on. I try not to but sometimes it happens. I know its annoying. Any suggestions?
