How important is it to you to have the last word? Because to me it is very important, I'll say thing that rightfully piss people off just so I can be the last one to say something. Why I wonder do I have this compulsion to have the last word?
I believe the answer lies with my desire for control. I think that whoever spoke last has an advantage because it is there words that hang in the air and in the participants’ minds. If your left having someone else’s words stuck in your head then in a way you have lost. Also to have the last word is to say that you are right. The other person or people acknowledge that what you are saying is correct, by not moving to correct you or add or challenge your statement. To be the last to speak is away of being acknowledged as superior. And I might have this unconscious need to feel superior. Even when some body should be above me, I have got to control my mouth better, lest I put my foot in it.
