Two.
1) Cutting folks off in the middle of a conversation. I attribute that to being in a large Black family where each time 2 relatives chop it up with each other, others will jump in & end up talikng over each other. I've seen it go down many times during family gatherings, like bullshit Thanksgiving or Kwanzaa. So I find myself in a position where I have to get my 2 cents in before someone else does. It's never done out of disrespect or spite, but out of impulse. Something I'm trying like hell to work on .
2) Overstating the obvious. Whenever I speak to friends/roommates/peers [or writing shit on a messageboard], I find myself staing something that folks are already aware of. Too much information is unnecessary. Something I really need to stop.
