Shut Down Interrupters

Interrupting is one of the most annoying things someone can do during a conversation. If you find yourself constantly being interrupted, here's a way to stop it. When someone cuts you off, simply pause, make eye contact, and remain silent.

The person will feel awkward and realize they've overstepped. In many cases, they'll apologize and let you continue. This trick works because it forces the interrupter to acknowledge their rudeness without you having to say anything.
