Wait Your Turn, Sis: There’s Plenty To Learn When We Interrupt People Less
You may learn they know more than you
When having a conversation with someone in which you’ll be exchanging information about the same topic that you’ve both been researching or asking around about, there can be this race to show what you’ve learned. But sometimes, if you interrupt, you can later learn that you had outdated information. It’s old news. It’s no longer relevant. And then you can feel a bit silly. Sometimes you’re the last to know the newest data and can look foolish for eagerly sharing what everyone already knew.
