To rant about people who finish your sentences for you (especially when it wasn’t what you were about to say.)

DH sometimes cuts me off because he "knows what I'm going to say." No he doesn't, and it winds me up big time. So rude.

Yes it is rude. DH struggles to remember words sometimes and often thanks me for finding them for him, but I don't do this to anyone else.

They do it too so they don't mind and neither, we find it helpful especially when we are struggling to get the right words out or describe what we mean. It's far more irritating when we are misunderstood or people want us to feel bad for how we are. Don't worry though we know when to pop our masks on so nobody is getting irritated by us.

I’m annoyed just reading this! DH does this all the time. He even gets impatient as I’m speaking (I’m fairly articulate and succinct, I think!) and cuts in with an irritated sigh, “Yes, I know… you think it’s faaaar too expensive” when I was going to say it was good value and we should get two or something!

He also does the wrongful attribution thing. “You're right about it being weird, but I thought it was funny too” when I never said anything about weirdness.

MIL was worse. She’d get it so unbelievably wrong that I could only conclude that she saw me as completely diametrically opposite in personality to how I really am!

I have a friend who regularly does this. Not once has she correctly predicted what I'm about to say 😂

My mum does this, and now so do I. It’s such a hard thing to stop! I have to really concentrate to make myself not do it.

@sixsevenhahaha do you speak really slowly and hesitantly with lots of ums and ers?

If people do this to you all the time maybe it is to do with the way you speak.

My lovely friend does this. Love her dearly but it drives me mad.

I think I do this too. I’m so aware of how rude it comes across now, but I used to think it showed I was really engaged in the conversation. I’m sorry for misreading that. I’m pretty sure I have ADHD, and I honestly never mean to be rude. It was me trying to help but getting it wrong.

I do this but it is annoying when people do this to me. Go figure!
I have ADHD and my brain seems to be 15 steps ahead so I blurt the end of what I think people's sentences are and sometimes they say something else... I'm trying really hard to stop but it is so difficult. I do agree with you OP and get annoyed at myself for doing it

Sounds like Echolalia
Echolalia is a natural part of early childhood language development, typically resolving by age 3 In older individuals, persistent echolalia is commonly associated with conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Tourette's syndrome, aphasia, head injuries, dementia, and schizophrenia.

Echolalia often serves as a form of communication, a way to process information. It actually helps the person stay focussed on and process what you are saying

My mum does this. It drives me mad! She never gets it right 😅

I have an annoying habit that I am trying to stop. I say the last word of a persons sentence with them. I have no idea why I do it and I’m trying hard not to but it’s like a tic!

Yeah I do this, thankfully I'm usually in tune with the main people I speak with so I normally get it right.

I do this sometimes, I really try not to. I find my brain is moving along quicker than their speech and it’s really hard to stop the interjection. Most of the time it’s when they pause and seem to be searching for a word. I think my brain is trying to help them, but of course it’s just rude. I do however mostly get it right (unless they’re just humouring me)

Sorry! I do this too. I catch myself when I've done it about 3 times in the same conversation and then try and shut up! I just wish people would hurry up and get to the point, especially when it's not a complex point they're trying to make. Tbf I also watch YouTube videos on double speed so if people could speak at that speed in real life then I probably wouldn't jump in 🫣

I think it's so sad, the amount of people on this thread who are stating they dislike/hate themselves for doing this.

I do this, am working on it and I hate it. I often think other people must hate me for it too. I have adhd and apparently it’s common, and I don’t like myself for doing it. In my case it’s because I’m so eager to show I’m engaged, on the same wavelength and definitely listening. I usually get it right, and apologise for interrupting, but I know that doesn’t make it ok. My mum does it, however hers is always negative and very wrong and she doesn’t care that she interrupts. But I don’t disagree with her wrong ones as she just keeps talking over me anyway, and has the conversation all by herself!

I’m so sorry but I know I do this sometimes. I try so hard not to but I struggle to focus sometimes and it keeps me present in the conversation. I also really struggle with people taking ages to get to an obvious point too but that’s because my mind is 100mph.

"I've suggested we only communicate by text" 😂😊😂😆

Yes it's a common highly verbal neurodiversity trait BUT when it's pretty much always wrong it's still very annoying!

I had a work colleague who did this and it drove me insane at the time. With hindsight and (a little bit of) maturity I realise that she was incredibly anxious to be liked and to fit in with the conversation, she was just trying too hard.
It is an annoying habit…my ds on the other hand, takes ages to get to the end of a sentence and he makes me want to finish it for him so maybe that’s a family trait and I was annoying her too 🤷🏽‍♀️
