“CAN I PLEASE FINISH MY SENTENCE STOP FUCKING INTERRUPTING ME” is acceptable sometimes ;)

[ourladyofsorrowsxx]

As an autistic person: this helps me act like a socially competent person thx

"I have a gun." Is a classic.

"can you stop fucking interrupting me?" Is my soft go to ❤

[Maddy-dmfj]

I normally say “hold on I’m almost done”, “wait a sec”, “or just flat out “I’m not finished talking” depending on the situation

A senior vice president once said "Bear with me for a moment" & i learnt from him. You learn the best when you work with smart people 😊

It’s different when a sibling interrupts though because if my sister ever interrupts me I scream aggressively “SHUT UP I WAS SPEAKING”

[jazelind]

i just raise a finger near their lips, smile, and go "hush, sweetie." 💀

[henlohenlo]

to simplify it. regardless of scenario keep a cool calm demeanor, it works for me. tone and stuff can go along ways in reactions from others. calm demeanor for me seems to work alot more in persuading others or getting help from others.

[desirestaken]

The “yeah but hear me out” is the best way.

[Trixeee]

Meanwhile me- “SHUT THE F*CK UP IM TALKING “😂

[Tana]

my people pleaser self could never whenever someone does it i just sit there like 😐 and wait for them to finish

[quoire]

My family could seriously benefit from watching these lmao.
All they know how to communicate is by emotionally lashing out or playing the victim when someone else beats them to it.

[annaelstad]

This honestly helps so much with conversations with my friends. I find my self being interrupted and every time I try to finish they just move on to a new subject

[purpleshoes]

I always say "ma'am, let me finish first so we can clearly understand both sides".
I usually encounter this situation at work in rehab facility.

“STFU IM NOT DONE TALKING.”
is my soft go to!❤

[stormyweather]

A quick: ✋🏾Silence in the tone of a Roman emperor with a smirk works too. Laugh the awkwardness off and play into the silliness. Then resume your thought.
You can be sharp, direct and unserious about it too. Only works with friends and friendly but enthusiastic coworkers that have a well known and privately spoken about habit of interrupting people in group conversations. They will be more mindful next time the opportunity to interrupt arises.

Also reassure them if they decide to directly respond with an apology for interrupting. Be kind and friendly about it. You’re not a bully. And this isn’t a joke that they are not in on either.

“You’re interrupting me, I wasn’t finished” is a good one. Not rude, but firm enough to startle the person into stopping.

[nanigonzalez]

I’m super shy so the “wait hold on” is actually super helpful thankyou otherwise I just stop speaking altogether

[b.riann.a]

“SHUT UP AND LET ME FINISH TALKING” always works too🥰
