The Countdown
“Why Women Should Not Interrupt a Man While He is Speaking”
12.He picks his words carefully, unlike most women who process their thoughts aloud, men DO NOT. Let him pick the words that he wants to use. Be patient and value what comes out of his mouth.
11. Finishing his sentences can feel like you’re saying he’s not smart or articulate “enough” to put together a full thought on his own. I’m talking, subject and verb agreement. If the man that you are talking to cannot do it on his own, why are you talking to him PERIOD. Just saying….
10.The truth is:His sisters did the same thing and it drove him crazy growing up. One of the biggest complaints I hear from men in committed relationships is a woman’s nagging tongue. Now granite…women, what you are saying is probably meaningful. However, why don’t you wait until he is done speaking, so that he will be more receptive and listen.
9. If you derail his train of thought, he’ll lose track of what he was actually saying.
8. He might shut down and stop speaking to you altogether, which I know you do not want. Men, many times, do their processing before speaking.
7. Men do single tasks well, so sharing his thoughts and listening to you is one task too many.
6. Interrupting him makes him feel inferior and if that is your motive, we have to check some of your unresolved issues with men. Don’t shut him out. If you do, you will have bigger problems ahead.
5. He will never feel heard and you have no idea how important this is to a man. Acknowledged. Heard. Appreciated. Don’t make me go on.
4. Listening shows respect. Interrupting him does not. If you do not know how to respect to man, call/text/IG me, you’ve got some Daddy issues and it is not cute. Things that are not processed from our childhood will manifest in our intimate relationships as adults.
3. Stay in your lane. I know the “Woman’s Movement”wouldn’t agree with me. But really…get back in your lane and stop always trying to overpower your man, your son, your dad, your brother, and your boss. We really talk too much sometimes. A guy just told me 3 days ago, “Sometimes, less is more.”
2. When you interrupt him, it can remind him of his mother and I’m sure he does NOT want to sleep with her.
1. How about you actually don’t even know what he was going to say because you were so busy WAITING TO TALK. Listen. Stop interrupting men to tell them what they are saying.
SOLUTION: Call a girlfriend if you just need to talk over someone because this is how we socialize.
I know. I know. The truth hurts. But that was a “Drive-By.” I am a straight shooter. Now, if you have some feedback, I am all ears, MEN AND WOMEN, let me hear your thoughts and feelings. Send any comments to: @doctoratasha on IG and Twitter or Doctora Tasha on FB. Email: lrussellpsyd@gmail.com
