Manner of speech question

Does anyone know if there is a technical name for "talking over people".  I'm NOT talking about pressured speech of mania.  I'm talking about that nasty freaking habit of mine where I start talking right on top of someone and then they think I'm being rude.  I don't mean to do this, but have been trampling people since I was a kid.  I would feel better if I had a name for it so I could do some reasearch on methods or tricks to help me wait my turn.  (other than the obvious LOL)

Thanks!

Lauren

It is funny that you mention that, my husbands says that I do it as well.  I am just trying to quickly fix the issue but it can be taken wrong.  I don't mean it in a bad way.  For me, I sometimes have to bite my lip and focus on listening.

You mean interrupting people?? Cutting them off verbally? I do it too...For me, it's because A) I'll forget to tell them what I'm interrupting them with or B) I'm afraid ppl will blab on incessantly and I'll never get my chance.  It is thought to be rude by most if not all ppl....and it's a hard habit to break...(aren't they all??)  Try it though...as most ppl will appreciate you more!

Good am Lauren,

Two things immediately spring to mind as I've dealt with them much of my life. ADD/ADHD & Executive Functioning. There is a wealth of information available via the internet and materials via the library/bookstore. These are very real and there are aids to help in working on them. Hope this helps some.

Sounds like me. I have ADHD and that is one of the characteristics. ADHD medication is the only thing that has helped me.
