I Sometimes Talk Too Much

There are people in my life who would argue about this statement.

There argument would be circled on the inclusion of the word "Sometimes."

I know why I do it. I feel the need to explain myself.

A lot.

In detail.

It's annoying.

The thing is, people who get to know me learn to put up with it. People who know me well also know when to tell me to STFU. Others simply stop me and say something along the lines of "I get it. You don't need to explain."

I need to get better at this though. I'm wasting too much of my own time, not to mention the extreme amount of time I'm wasting for others.

I do listen. I listen more than I ever have before. This has a curious effect of giving me more to think about and more to explain.

One of my goals for 2020 is to be more succinct. We'll see where that goes.

Most of the people I know talk too much. I think there’s something about me that gets people talking.

@SmartKat That happens to me too. I wonder if maybe I talk sometimes as a defense mechanism to prevent that.

lol

@JoeyFoxx Maybe I missed my calling. Maybe I should have been an interrogator.....🤔

I talk a lot and explain myself a lot too.

This stems from many things in my life..I think I have worked hard to stop this..but I still feel the need...it is hard to stop myself ...lol.
I think I need to be writing all these thoughts somewhere where I can edit them after and ensure i don't need to explain myself.

I figure there are a few people in my life, who would argue about that [i]sometimes[/i] part also. Seems it's either talking too much or not enough, at times.
I do also tend to put in too many details, when trying to relay something that happened...for instance, or conveying just what I want to say. I know this. That "never complain. never explain" quote is one I've pondered, but surely not mastered.
But at least we both DO [i]listen[/i]!
