Oh yes I am the first one to admit that I tend to interrupt a lot and believe in one of my earliest postings talked
about my (attention span) and how I have worked on not being so anxious over the last several years and
"mellowed out" with age!I tend to do it more in conversation but we talked about how someone will say something
that sparks this "important "subject out to you for some reason which makes me feel like interjecting on the spot
"before I forget" type thing!I do it constantly but not with the intention of Hi-Jacking the conversation but
remembering what it was I remembered before I forget!Does this make any sense?
Not to be controlling intentionally,and usually go right back to the other subject! Could my motives in changing
the subject on occasion be innocent or just the controlling dictator in my personality changing the subject I dont
want to talk about?Usually it's not !I didnt point out the music of the types in a different context to change the
subject just finally remembered something I wanted to mention!Not that I didnt want to talk about that subject
too ! It is a personality trait that has always bothered me and I have tried to correct and sometimes write down
things to remind me later but usually dont just bring up a subject without it somehow playing part in a way of
whats being said!I would have never come on the site and suddenly just started a conversation about music and
thought when I saw the music of the personalities was a good opportunity to elaborate on it then!
If you remember those old posts of mine I am completely aware that I do this!Just wanted to point this out!
