Have you've been checked for adhd? I have some friends with it and they tell me about similar scenarios

I’ve had a lot of people, including professionals hypothesize that I might have it. When I was younger I was very opposed to psychiatry and behavior altering meds so I didn’t really take them seriously or cooperate with their attempts to find out. But I think it’s possible.

I'll echo what others are suggesting and say give it a look.

I went undiagnosed for years and really struggled with a number of things. I'd talk over people, interrupt, and finish peoples sentences (to name a few that may resonate with you.) I was consciously aware of what I was doing and frequently battled the urge to do it. I eventually went and got diagnosed ...and holy hell what a difference it made. It was no longer urgent to express an idea before it was lost to the "noise." It wouldn't hurt to speak with a doctor / specialist about it; you have nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain.
