Anyone have those coworkers that completely interrupt people? I've found that a couple people i work with just were never taught to wait for someone else to finish. Doesn't help that they're really smart and also really opinionated.

How do you deal with these people? I've found steamrolling them or asking them to wait works, but only if you raise your voice a bit, which is mostly inappropriate, but easy to do on a web call.

Any suggestions for keeping this out of private life? I've found that i steamroll my friends sometimes even though i don't have any reason to, and I've become quite good at it...

    Try to make the distinction between work life and private life. You don’t want to make the people you’re closest to feel like they can’t speak clearly or openly in your presence. Maybe it’ll take some time to break the habit, but if you acknowledge that it’s happening maybe you can control it.

    @apatheticmirry i guess i was looking for things to do to remind myself of that distinction as i already do that, but i appreciate it.

    @arcsector - I guess it’s just difficult to know what to suggest, really. Other than saying simple shit like, “really take in your surroundings and who is with you,” blah, blah, blah.
