It becomes very hard for me to control my anger when I am focusing on understanding / reading anything and anyone interrupts me, and then keep repeating himself / herself (without understanding from my quietness) till they make sure they pull me out of the sea of thoughts / ideas…
Any solutions ? May Allah forgive me, I know it is my fault that I am completely cut off from my surroundings when I am thinking / reading / understanding, but I can’t help it
It doesn’t happen frequently, but only when I am studying or reading.
Buy yourself a "walkman" radio or CD player with headphones. Even if you choose not to listen to music, people are so much less inclined to just start talking to someone wearing headphones.

I don't think that's the case anymore. Maybe a few years ago, but not thse days, ppl dont really care if u have headfones on or not, they'll talk to u regardless.
STP bhai, as a married woman with 2 children, I seem to have lost my right for private time. When I was working, I used to drive 45 mins to and from work…that was pure personal time. Even at work, down times and lunch breaks were personal time. Now, even when I sit on GS for a few minutes, one of my kids constantly revolves around me asking me for some kind of attention, when I try to take a nap, my little daughter sits next to me and pulls my eyelids open. I am by no means complaining because I think with time, our responsibilities change and we become more selfless. The worst part, my husband has offered to watch the kids several times so I could go out and do a personal activity and get a break…but guess what, in those couple of hours, all I can think of is about them.
So while I can understand your situation…if it is your family that is interrupting you, maybe you can go into a room and shut the door and hope no-one comes in, but if it is non-family, you can be indifferent to their comments and hopefully they will get the message.
^JazakAllah khair sister for the kind words of wisdom.
Thanks everyone for the kind advice and giving your time, I would inshaAllah make sure that I take precautionary measures before I intend to read or study.
