Yes, a little sometimes. Probably get it from my mom, who tries to overexplain things. One thing I'm trying to do is realize I just don't have to say as much as I think I do. (I use online forums to get a lot of that out.) I'm working on saying less, and having it be more significant when I do. Then there will be a tendency for others to interrupt less often and you'll be able to get your point across while calmer. You don't need to say anything until you have a solid point formed in your mind. If an opportunity passes where you could have state your opinion, so what? There are about 6,602,224,174 people in the world who really don't care.

A good therapist or coach would be a good idea, but the trick there is finding a really good one who is worth the money. Not too easy.
