People who interrupt
Among people that I hate, despise, can't stand.
It's always said that 'hate' is a very strong word.
Well, sometimes it applies.
It's incredible how much I can not stand and despise quite a few people, based on the fact that they seem to feel it's ok for them to interrupt others.
I've been feeling this way and saying so for years. What's unbelievable is that it seems that over the years that people who interrupt have been accepted into the main stream.
It appears to be acceptable behavior (when it's not) by many. And, a lot of that is because folks, when they're interrupted, won't stand up for themselves. And also, no one else in the group will
bother to back them up. So, those who interrupt, get their words out, just by interrupting and talking over others, and they therefore dominate the conversation.
Evidently some see it as a leadership trait. Which it's not. It's a lack of character trait.
It's become the model on news and political talk shows. Many of which are somewhat worthless in the first place, and even more so, because of this aspect.
Some of the hosts on such shows have even developed a habit of asking a guest a question, only so they (the host) can interrupt while the guest is answering. I guess it's a power grab, a way of saying "I'm in control" - well, that's for low-life's. Seriously.
It's absolutely amazing that any self respecting individual will bother to appear as a guest on some of these shows.
Interrupting/talking over someone else is completely disrespectful of the other and also of others who may be involved in the conversation. However, the folks that do so, seem to consider it their privilege; and their way of getting their way in the conversation. At this point, it can't really even be called a conversation. It's a format for someone, who will basically, bully their way by interrupting and talking over others.
So frequently those who talk the loudest and the most are the least worth listening to.
However, you can't tell them that. It's what I call a stupid stubbornness that make them think that what they have to say is more important and with no regard for others.
It's pathetic. And, causes a lot of trouble for others who aren't interested in playing such personality games and/or willing to put up with such crap.
Let the other person finish their sentence, finish their thought!!!!
Posting this overnight (early morning) on 15 October 07. I May well come back to add to it; because frankly, I think it's one of the most important subjects. I can think of lots more to say on the subject. I just wanted to get it started and at least this much posted.
