Reclaiming Your Time: How To Handle Someone Who Talks Over You
- By

Try A Simple “I Wasn’t Finished”
If someone interrupts you, try just interrupting right back and saying “I wasn’t finished.” It’s direct and to the point. You aren’t necessarily accusing them of anything. You are pointing out the fact that you were clearly mid-talking when they interrupted, and you are reclaiming your turn to speak. This also brings attention to the fact that the interrupter needs to be more aware of when someone is naturally done getting their thought out.
