    I find it useful to stop the cycle by saying something like “sorry, before I forget…”, and then add your opinion to the matter. It’s a timing game, you have to try and get your voice heard sometimes.

    If you bump your comment with another person, you can give them the time and then speak your mind. Most people remember you were going to add something. The only inconvenience is when you forget what you were going to say but I don’t think people would mind if you are the first to talk sometimes

      sorry

      I don’t find it very useful to interject with “sorry” unless you actually have something to apologize for. Although sometimes if I interrupt someone and feel like that was a bit more rude than I was planning for, I apologize afterwards
