INTERRUPTING Meaning and
Definition
-
Interrupting is an action that involves breaking the continuity or flow of a conversation, event, or process by interjecting or inserting oneself or one's thoughts into the ongoing activity. It refers to the act of forcibly stopping or interposing oneself in a verbal exchange, meeting, or social interaction that has already commenced. Interruptions can take various forms, including speaking out of turn, cutting someone off while they are speaking, or diverting attention from the current topic of discussion by introducing a new subject or question.
Interrupting can stem from a variety of motives, such as wanting to contribute an idea or opinion, correcting a misunderstanding, seeking clarification, or simply dominating the conversation. While interrupting can sometimes be unintentional or driven by enthusiasm, it is generally regarded as disrespectful or impolite, as it disregards the speaker's right to be heard and disrupts the natural flow of communication. Frequent or excessive interruption can hinder effective communication, impede understanding, and lead to frustration or resentment among those involved.
To avoid interrupting, it is important to cultivate active listening skills and be mindful of others' speaking turns. Practicing patience, allowing the speaker to finish their thoughts, and only interjecting when appropriate or invited can contribute to smoother and more respectful conversations, enhancing the overall quality of communication.
