My mother is like that (and her mother was), at least from what you describe.

The result is, she constant interrupts my speech with guesses what I'm about to say. It's incredibly aggravating especially because I have a speech impediment exactly because of their constant interruptions when I was a kid. And somewhat funnily, she always guesses wrong. Never right. Every time.

And the interrogative tone is there too, tho that's harder to describe.

So I can't talk to people like that, and may get hostile very quickly if I see such behaviour. Tho I've not met many people that do it.

If your brain works that way, at least try to not talk like that. I used to have similar patterns just due to having them learned, and had to unlearn.

/edit cause I'm cold and my brain doesn't work either and this stupid keyboard keeps bugging out, fuck this

I know when I'm doing it and make sure other conversants are fine with it. I've tried to show more curious and inquisitive looks and verbally explain myself. If it annoys someone I know to calm myself. I've had a lot of years to learn and my best friends tend to work the same way.
