Interrupt Someone Just to Improve the Conversation.
Interrupting when someone is speaking can be a rude or skillful way to improve the conversation. It depends on the reasons you interrupt and how you do it.
Pick the Brain tells us that you should refrain two times to interrupt them: to finish someone’s sentence (good in a close personal relationship, but not especially in a work setting) or to keep the conversation going and talk about yourself (“I know what do you mean … once in a group camp … “). In both situations, the breaker can seem rude. I know some people who cannot help but interrupt the conversation, because a thought has arisen in their head during the discussion, and they are afraid that they will forget it, but do not pay attention to the interlocutor so that you can remember and say that you are not want to. good communication strategy.
On the other hand, Pick the Brain notes several times when it is good to interrupt it: for example, if you want to make sure you understand what the other person has just said, or to resume a conversation (for example, a meeting).
The key is really to interrupt the conversation and pay more attention to when you mindlessly interrupt others (we all do!).
