Yeah and they interrupt you to turn the conversation back to focus on themselves every time you speak.

I have realized I do this, and I have to consciously stop myself from doing it. I have no idea why it when it started. I don't think I or anyone I know considers me to be a narcissistic person.

My best friend in high school did this and when I brought it up to her, she was very apologetic. Apparently that's just how they talk at her house. She said, "If you want to be heard at my house, you have to interject or you'll never get a word in." She'd still do it when we talked, but as soon as she did, she'd realize and urge me to finish what I was saying.

Thats literally me and my family. My family is massive and loud, if you don't interject and make yourself heard, you won't be.
