I sounds like your awareness is awakening, yet not fully activated. Awareness is not just about observing. It's about observing and reacting. As your awareness grows, you should start recognizing that you are about to speak without thinking. That will allow you to pause, gather your thoughts, and speak. If you notice yourself interrupting, you need pull back, refrain from interrupting, or at the least, recognize you did and apologize. If you are aware you are talking to much, you stop.
