    Was gonna say this, too. I’ve known some people who assume what I’m saying before I’m done, and then go on to show they didn’t actually listen and didn’t grasp the point at all.

    Don’t guess what people are trying to say. Listen to them. They’re telling you. You don’t have to guess. 😅

      My issue is a lot of people explain their reason before they get to the point, but their reasoning is based on incorrect assumptions or misinformation they have taken as truth.

      So you have to sit there and try to remember their argument and why it’s wrong while they are continuing on with faulty logic that you already know is misinformed. It should be entirely acceptable to break someone’s chain of thought to correct someone on something they are misunderstanding.

      Yesnt. There’s definitely a role for interpretation. But you shouldn’t be interrupting people
