I love this. I have never thought about my speech pattern. Similar to yours I tend to interrupt people to be part of the conversation. Language is so interesting and my cousins and I seem to have our own language specifically our own
Me, speaking to daughter who speaks too loudly: "J, you're talking too loudly." J: "Mom, I HATE it when you say that!" After a few years of her loud voice, I began just giving her a hand signal (palm down, moving downward). J: "Mom, STOP it!" She's an adult now and we still clash, and now I don't give her any verbal or hand reminders. Sadly, we still struggle. Heartbreaking.
At work I often have older pts say that I don’t need to shout, that they can hear me. Usually my volume goes up when I get stressed or if my ears are congested
