      Yeah I definitely have these tendencies and had to really work to stop interrupting. Sometimes the end is what I expected, and sometimes it’s quite a surprise. I can totally see why it would annoy someone to have a person finish their sentence, and incorrectly at that.

      I do feel that my social interactions are much improved as I’ve gotten better with impulse control

        Its like talking to a stupid AI. (When someone finishes my sentence but incorrectly) So frustrating. And the other thing that happens is I’m so astounded at the interruption I forget what I was getting at. My brain does not prioritize speed (I’m slow to process/respond sometimes) so I just can’t even do these kinds of conversations. I’m giving up, my contribution is clearly not needed for your conversation with yourself (I don’t mean YOU, I mean the theoretical person)

        Anyway, ty for working on improving it, I know it’s an effort!

      Well yeah but once I’ve made up my mind on the rest of your sentence, it’s not like I’m going to process your version in my head anyway
