Interrupting rarely feels like interrupting. From the inside it feels like enthusiasm, or like you already know where the sentence is going, or like the conversation simply moving fast. The same phrase coming back at you from several different people is the clearest signal available that something is happening which only they can see.
Count your interruptions for one day without changing anything. Then try waiting two seconds after somebody stops before you speak. It feels like an age, and it is roughly the gap everybody else leaves without noticing.
