Could it be "over another person"? Asshollery is kinda universal

That's odd because I don't often see men talk over other men at meetings, but women can't generally finish a sentence without a man trying to talk over her.

That's odd. I always see it the other way around and men don't speak up for themselves because the loud woman then tries to play this card, so everyone just has to take the abuse.
You can try sahin, "Bec, you need to let people finish, especially if they're answering you."
But a complaint will go to HR.

I'm so guilty of talking over other people and I hate it. Please fix me.

Especially in online meetings with no camera. Without seeing body language, I often think people are done talking so I start talking, but they were just resting between sentences. Oof.

Online is the worst--I think the slight delay is a big factor as well. We both start before either realizes the other was speaking and it's very uncomfortable.

Have you've been checked for adhd? I have some friends with it and they tell me about similar scenarios

and only woman because the same dude does not talk over everyone.

I don't know where you work but I have seen it all the time. There tends to be a whole back and forth. One thing I hate though is the folks who are like im not finished and your like ok finish and then they add nothing unique over what they already said.

I’ve had a lot of people, including professionals hypothesize that I might have it. When I was younger I was very opposed to Psychiatry and behavior altering meds so I didn’t really take them seriously or cooperate with their attempts to find out. But I think it’s possible.

In my experience of being the person who always gets talked over, women do it just as much as men

Record yourself speaking and you might see where you should improve. You might have long gaps, or unclear body language, or you're quiet, etc

Realizing you want to improve is the first step to growing into a better person!

One thing that kinda helped for me is realising that nobody will care about my point, if they're still thinking about the point they want to make themselves. Realising that helps me wait.
Only downside is that I then sometimes miss other points, and sometimes also forget my own point still.

Funnily enough the organisation I frequently sub to is the diametric opposite of that - it’s normally the women telling the men to stfu and concentrate on the matter being discussed. Us men are a belligerent lot, though, but we do get the job done and none of us have nanked each other yet. Fingers crossed.

In all fairness, there was 12 minutes left in the meeting and Bob has been waiting for the seniority members to shut up for 24 minutes to get a single word in edgewise.
