I Usually Finish Off People's Sentences In My Head, Before They've Finished Speaking


Anyone else do this?

Do you think it demonstrates a higher level of empathy, to be able to know what someone is thnking, and, thus, how they are going to finish off a sentence?

I try not to be rude and literally finish off anyone's sentence by interjecting, unless they're really struggling to find the right words, but it's almost uncanny how often I'm able to do this, with both people I know and people I've only barely met, or even people I don't know, who I'm listening to via a podcast for the first time.

try and be more patient

Like I say, I wait for them to finish (it's just that in my head, I know what they're going/trying to say!)
