15.04 Why do we interrupt?

Interruptions disrupt and prolong conversations.

Surely if we could control our interruptions we would develop more positive relationships and make conversations more productive.

We interrupt for many reasons, these 'reasons' are excuses, and typically not very good ones.

Here, I explore some of the reasons we interrupt, and touch on the harmful effects.

Can we learn the difficult skill of managing interruptions? 

Do we feel the effort is worth making?

I for one believe it is worth developing the self-awareness and working through the frustration in order to be one of the few that are at least thought to interrupt less than most!
