   Was with a bunch of people last night… and did this again. Caught myself, and started asking questions. Ahh, if only there was a switch you could throw. “I have this insight about myself, Click! There it’s gone.”

   I have gone to a party, met twenty different people, talked all night long, and on the way home realized I didn’t even catch most people’s names and I learned nothing about anyone else. Then my wife will say, “I saw you talking to that police detective. Wasn’t he interesting?” and I’m shocked, “Detective? Who was a Detective?” “The guy who was talking to the woman who started that Internet Dating Service.” “Wow? Which woman was that?”
   Brutal.

   Heh, I’ve done that before! I also have a friend who literally chattered her way through a New Year’s Eve Ring-In the second time I met her. I thought she was hilarious, but my other friends…not so much.

   It’s also responsible for my horrible handwriting. My brain is zipping along so quickly, that neither my tongue nor my hand can keep up with it.

   I’ve always called it diarrhea of the mouth!

   My compulsion is not to chatter, but I do have to chat with everyone at some point. In the end it all adds up to too much talking in the long run. I have begun to identify when I see the Deer in the headlights look as I approach. I try to shut up, listen, and wait. Even then I struggle to stay quiet, but it works, and individuals see this and actually try to engage me in a discussion. It’s when I lose control of the flood gates that they get overwhelmed and I inundate them with too much data.

   Sitting quietly, and reserving my thoughts has been a real treat for me. Now people seek me out, and then discover that I do have some ideas, but they are solicited, not forced upon the listeners. Therefore they are asking for what I know, rather than me just arbitrarily sharing it and talking there heads off.

   Same here. In fact, when I was about 5 or 6 I was sent for speech therapy to get help because I talked too fast. No issues with clarity or enunciation, just too fast. Well, I had a lot to say! )

   *ahem* I do rather have a lot of opinions…on a lot of subjects….and I have been accused of talking too much….and taking too long to get to the point. Well, that’s what happens when we suddenly realize as we’re talking that we’ve forgotten what the point is that we were trying to make. *sigh*

   I rather like Bill myself.

   I am just like that. Compulsive talking is like an addiction. You have to get your next fix. I can put in more words per minute then 3 or 4 people.
