Show Notes
Most people don't realize they've been trained out of finishing their thoughts until they notice they've stopped trying.
In this episode of How to Convince, I break down why being interrupted does more than cut off a sentence, why the most natural response to being cut off is exactly what keeps it happening, and what to do instead so you hold your space without turning every conversation into a confrontation.
If you've ever stopped mid-point because someone talked over you, let an idea go entirely because the moment passed, or started noticing you share less in certain conversations without fully understanding why, this episode is for you.
This episode covers: Why interruptions work and what gets established every time you stop
The difference between habitual interrupting and targeted interrupting, and why it changes your response
Why talking louder or faster usually makes things worse
The two words that reclaim your space without starting a fight
How to re-enter a conversation after being cut off without asking permission
What to do when someone finishes your sentences and gets it slightly wrong
How to recover when your mind goes blank mid-thought
How quieter people can hold space in fast-moving group conversations without changing who they are
Plus, real listener Q&A about a coworker who only interrupts women, a partner who calls it sensitivity, a colleague who hijacks sentences with good intentions, a brain that freezes under pressure, and someone who feels invisible in every group conversation.
Comment "STOP LETTING THEM CUT YOU OFF" if this resonated with you.
