Hypothesis: People repeat themselves if they aren’t sure they’re being heard, or, oddly (and I’ve done this myself) if they’re unsure of how what they’re saying will be received.
I have worked hard to stop doing this. As a teen I’d often repeat something when it wouldn’t provoke a response. This is silly. I now realize that 9 out of 10 times the other person heard you perfectly well, so repeating what one said is counterproductive.
Also I’ve figured out that I should be louder. Everyone knows that one person who nobody likes because ze is too loud, but being too quiet is low status.
Observation: People stop repeating that particular thing. Yay!
Awesome I’ve tried this and it totally works. Thank you!
I hated it when it was done to me in my youth, and I still hate it when it’s done to me now. In fact, most repetitious and nagging patterns of speech make me shut up like a clam. I’m hardly as loquacious in person as I can be through text.
Except… I teach piano and guitar to children. And, in my teaching of habits of practice, I tend to repeat myself maybe a bit too much. I’m really trying to improve.
And also… hehe… I noticed myself introducing rationality techniques. ^_^; How to analyze and target your confusion and lack of understanding whilst reading new music that contain hitherto unseen musical notations or phrases. That’s how I’m used to learning.

My word, I do it too, and I never realized!
