Intentional interruption is a necessary requirement within conversation or communication so as to avoid complacency!
All too often we become complacent, lethargic and succumb to the lazy platitudes contained within the communicative process. Interruption becomes a useful tool in breaking this lethargy and re-awakening the thought process so that new ways of communication can be created. What say you guys?
Sure
Tell my girlfriend that when she’s going on about her shitty day at work, and I start talking about philosophy.
hahaha, usually about equal intellectual pursuits, complaining and philosophy.
All the more reason for interrupting her, interrupt her by saying honey you know, you look great
BAH, that is mearly one situation! But yes i can see how it could work. Heres another view. Say we have a man and woman together, on there first argument one interrupts the other half way through what the other is saying just because they say don’t like where the conversation is going, then they make a comment…or opinion i guess, on what >HALF< of what the person said. THATS VERY BAD! This causes an instant missunderstanding and makes what there opinion to what said completly wrong. But the bigger problem with this is that people don’t realize this. The first person would probably get angry and make another opinion off what the second said! And thus you have a shitty relationship with the first unsolved problem. I think this happens everywhere, I think the majority of people don’t understand our fulty communication of symbols. And another thing, be sure that what your interrupting is actualy some kind of ramble instead if something actually important at any level. Ones ego might interpret it wrong…
I interject!
