Except that also serves as a placeholder for your turn to speak. I frequently find myself taking an extra second to think before I speak only to have my turn pass me by, because someone else started up right away.

This happens to me all the time. Possibly every day. And normally the conversation just keeps moving.

Maybe it's an introvert thing.
