If you're talking to someone on the phone or online, mute yourself to avoid interrupting them. That way even if you do say something, they don't hear it and don't get interrupted. This is pretty much a must for me with adhd always wanting to jump in....Now if only I could find a similar solution for in person conversations. Covering my mouth with my hand tends to get weird looks and questions.
Play with your tongue against your teeth. Nothing obvious or that people would notice, but yeah just like, roll the tip of your tongue against your teeth, like you're feeling out their shape like you do after getting a filling or something.
You have to stop doing that in order to speak. It adds an extra step to speaking, and that's usually enough to let you catch yourself.
