Notice how people end up interrupting you to correct you for interrupting? My civilian supervisor in the military though had an art. When I'd inadvertantly interrupt him, he would make a big deal with shutting his mouth and turning his head away as if he was silently protesting the interruption and refusing to listen to what I have to say until I listen to what he had to say. It was the most
Cell phones I'm the worse on because they often have a 3 second delay. So when I hear silence, I start talking, but by then, the other person was talking again too.
I also like to butt into other people's conversations. I can't help it. Like I'll stand in the check out lane and due to my heightened Aspie senses, I hear other people's conversations even when I'm trying so hard to ignore it, and sometimes they make me laugh or will say something I have something I really want to say, and sometimes i correct when they are wrong, like that place closed down, and I'll say no it just moved down the street. I figure if people want to have a private conversation, then they should have that conversation in private. I will tell them that if they seem to have a problem with me putting in my 2 cents. Most of the time, they think it's a little weird, but they like it or just don't really mind it so much. Only on very few occasions do I get really dirty looks or something bad said to me, but if they got something bad to say too, so do I. I get more dirty looks for having conversations with my friends in public that other people think should be in private (like complaining about our men for a minute or something).
I also noticed people rarely say, "What's your opinion?" I ask for other people's input and say, "What do you think" often, but most of the time, I'm the only person doing that. Sometimes you have to interrupt to get a word in edgewise. It's funny because we are the ones who supposedly monologue.
