    The dissonance between “I know what you are talking about before you’ve finished” and “i can barely focus on what you are talking about” is astonishing. I absolutely feel you.

      Dissonance?

      I know what you are talking about before you’ve finished, [but you keep talking anyway so] i can barely focus on what you are talking about

        And yet, 60% of the times, my partner is wrong, because I haven’t finished talking. She looses focus because she thinks she knows, then interrupts, with a misunderstanding and then continues as if nothing has happened.

          Both my wife and I do this to each other all the time. While we both do it, we still get annoyed when the other is doing it, because we are only right 60 % of the time or less.

        You don’t tho, and then you interrupt, and then I have to start over.
