People ALWAYS interrupting me mid-sentence,

I'm SO sick of being interrupted when I finally DO attempt to talk.

It's just a ****ing slap in the face. My parents especially do this to me. When I try to explain something I always go into a lot of detail and I guess they just don't give a damn about it.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Yes, but possibly for different reasons. Usually, because I'm so nervous, I speak slowly and leave considerable pauses between various utterances within a sentence. Quite often, people think I've finished a sentence when really I'm just anxiously trying to find words in order to complete it. I also despise having to repeat something that I've just said if someone hasn't heard or understood correctly. It's usually enough of a struggle to get the words out the first time so to repeat them is twice as awkward.
 
I have a very low tolerance for this to. I tend to generally listen to what people have to say and do not interrupt. I get annoyed when I am saying something and someone else interrupts. Also in regards to repeating myself I try not to. If I am saying something and get interrupted and the conversation goes elsewhere, I do not bother and just think to myself that those people are rude.

I do not understand the nerve of some people, just because someone is a slow or quiet talker does not mean they have nothing to say!
So one has to be a loud mouthed obnoxious person to get people to listen. :)

It's quite funny how the quality of my sentences degrade incrementally each time they have to be repeated to someone. The first time I say something, I'll try to say it in the most concise way I can manage at the time. If I have to repeat it again I might trim out parts that perhaps weren't entirely necessary. If I have to repeat myself more than once I automatically think - right screw it, this idiot is getting the very minimum amount of syllables required to make this sentence work.

I stutter, so I experience this on a daily basis :)

This happens to me all the time, even after my anxiety went away and I can talk alot more naturally.
I don't know if its because of the way I speak, like my volume or speed or what. I used to talk so fast people couldn't understand me easily, and I'm in South Carolina where speaking quickly and blending words is part of our dialect. Now I try to speak more slowly and carefully, because I was tired of repeating myself, and I find that I get interrupted in almost every freaking conversation I have.
I have no idea how to handle this. I am debating on being an asshole and speaking over the person to interrupted me, but that doesn't seem like the best solution.

I think my speech pattern was permanently altered due to my social phobia, and now I don't know how to fix it.

Yeah. My family do that a lot. They just can't stand giving me a space, they either interrupt or counter everything I say, even if I'm right. It's annoying.
