Is there something consistently irritating about you?

[Cicero]

This is long folks, I hope you have a moment. Good topic.

So I thought:I interrupt people. I had that sneaking suspicion in conversations and I would get "a look". Then my husband pointed it out....So I have adjusted my conversational style.

Now:

Another thing tells me that I am actually being interrupted constantly, and that I get "a look" when I break back in the conversation, and interrupt back to finish my initial thought, and expand on what people interrupted me with.

The other day someone consistently interrupted me every time they asked me a direct question, and wouldn't let me get my full answer out because they assumed what I was going to say next, or I don't know why. That's when I interrupted them and said, "hey, I was speaking". (I never do that or saw the need before) And continued with my answer.

So I adjusted this behavior that I thought was an aberration in the sense that I thought I might be doing it without even noticing, and all signs pointed to yes...that I am an interrupter (how could I be so irritating?). So then I pay attention and never interrupt, only to find that it wasn't a problem I had the whole time. Quite the opposite. I have found that I am being interrupted all the time, and now it's starting to become annoying. Here I was going to work on a personality trait and it was actually the problem of others that I hadn't noticed before.

Now I want to know what about my personality that I don't know about, makes people think that I should be interrupted after they directly ask me a questions or otherwise....so. If anyone has an answer..because I truly don't know why, please let me know. Why are they being irritating?

What is irritating about me, that makes other people irritating?
