Stop People Interrupting You in Conversation (5 Tips). This is How You SHUT THEM DOWN!

It's not easy to stop people interrupting you in conversation. If you're more of a passive communicator, it can be challenging and daunting to try to claim your talking space and stop people interrupting you. But if you want to get your voice heard, whether it's in chaotic meetings at work or casual conversations with a group of friends, you need to learn how to stop people talking over you.
It might sound difficult to do, but when you use the techniques that I share in this video, it can make the process much, much easier. And don't worry, they won't make you look aggressive at all. They will simply allow you to get the space you need to be present in the conversation. And to "condition" people to know that they can't interrupt you in the future. Let's put an end to the frustration that you feel when people interrupt you.

Thank you - the simple raised hand and “I’m not finished yet” is a confident, assertive, graceful alternative to an aggressive approach I’ve sometimes witnessed in meetings: “Would you let me finish?!” Love your channel!

[@kararonin]

Thank you very much!

[@kararonin]

Did you find these tips helpful? Which one will work best for you?

[@bernardmithi4718]

I love your videos. Keep up the good work

[@mnsuchak]

All vides are helpful. Great work !

[@Maya_s1999]

What if someone is trying to undermine you and the interrupting is part of their strategy to diminish your influence? Would you have that private conversation in that case? Could you make a video for the scenario where group meetings are used by ill-meaning individuals as opportunities to undermine co-workers?

[@TheCrain]

I'm very timid as well. I find just straight up saying "Hold on please or 1 second" and then continuing my sentence to help. I have a lot of practice at this because I have a long distance friend who will literally not pay attention to what you said until their paragraph is over. He tries to interject and when I stop he just continues on. Lol Frustrating sometimes but funny when I think about it.

[@eriyonadams2353]

I straight up say I'm not done talking

[@rolandovillareal4385]

Thank you very much Cara. I suffer from childhood ptsd. This podcast is very helpful. It gives me the ability to have control in my conversations and overcome my own fears and insecurities.

[@pinkpastelstudio]

Summary: [00:27] 💼 Fight for your talking space. Don't give in to interruptions easily. [03:14] ✋ Raise your hand to signal that you're not finished speaking. [04:22] 👀 Make eye contact with the interrupter to convey your seriousness. [04:51] 🗣 Directly tell the interrupter that you're not finished yet. [06:00] ⚖ It's the interrupter's fault, not yours. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. [07:25] 🗣 Have a private conversation with the chronic interrupter to address their behavior. [08:35] 🛑 Reset their expectations and set new boundaries to prevent future interruptions. [09:02] ❗ Use strong language to convey your message clearly and make an impact. [09:43] ❌ Avoid passive communication that dilutes your message and confuses the other person. [10:11] 🛑 Deter interruptions by using phrases that set expectations and request space to speak.

[@archangele1]

Great advice. There is one thing to consider though. Are you taking too long to make your point when talking. I have heard people many times say 'Please, get to the point". My father used to say to me, when I would ramble on about a certain subject I was trying to talk about to get to the point. He would also say 'You're loosing your audience'. I just mention this because a lot of times when I have had to deal with a 'talk over numnum' I noticed that I was rambling on and on about the subject and taking too long to get to the point. Not saying this is always the case, but sometimes it is and it is something to consider.

[@rokaskundrotas4805]

That’s a very common and frustrating thing that happens in conversations, especially at work, where important issues are being discussed.

[@clausmte1]

I found of all the tips very helpful. Thank you very much for your videos!

Very practical tips...thank you Kara

[@kararonin]

Thank you so much Cyril!

[@transitionsnc]

I've had men become outright angry when I have said, "Please let me finish my thought," when I am interrupted.

[@Himmiefan]

Keep standing up to them!

[@starrystarrynight9822]

That's a shame, isn't it? Very disrespectful.

[@transitionsnc]

Yes. It is. Unfortunately, it happens once in a while.@@starrystarrynight9822

[@papabird4425]

I've had women do the same thing. And men. This is a thing people do.

[@minato4203]

Then you have encountered an immature human being. And there’s no point to continue my conversation.

[@rdel4575]

This is great advice. Thank you.

[@kararonin]

Thank you RDel!

[@moonermuhammad420]

You are a gem. ❤ from Kenya.

[@Carroty_Peg]

[@asifmuniruniverse7732]

No! you informed me truth about some people thoughts

[@asifmuniruniverse7732]

I understand their all game of business now

[@robnkellfrancis2518]

What about in virtual meetings?

[@mach1gtx150]

I work with a guy like this and he doesn't back down with the stop sign and my continuing to talk. He just talks faster and louder, and he doesn't even care. So how about a back hand instead?

[@periteu]

I just start saying "im talking, im talking", when other shut up, i continue.

[@flowerchild89]

I have a coworker who does this. It's so irritating. She's rude. She puts her 2 cents in on EVERYTHING!!! All day. Ugggg

[@christopherbowers268]

If she keeps trying to interrupt me but I can’t understand what she’s saying because her mouth is full, so I still use the hand raise technique? My concern is that she’ll think I’m about to slap her and inadvertently bite down. Asking for a friend.

[@rudbeckia885]

How bout on the e phone ?

[@asifmuniruniverse7732]

If they wanna to do Interruption of my words, no problem I think they already doing that

[@samanthaperez7859]

3:20

[@rapatel1642]

Its time to obliterate the interuptors.

[@taliazane7334]

As the meeting leader, some people need to be interrupted. They're aggressive, sending the wrong message to the team, spreading negativity or annoyingly repetitive or rude. If you're being interrupted also think about why.

[@sineadgrier2182]

Brilliant

[@stummkind]

Only watching this video makes my blood boil again. I had a meeting last week when at times I had a hard time bringing one sentence through and three different people interrupted me. Yes, I understand that i need to take over responsibility for adopting a more assertive speaking style and setting boundaries, but still its so disrespectful and overpowering. For talking with the interrupter personally: at this point I would have to talk with nearly every person in my company.
