Re: Inappropriate behaviour/comments

[Anonymous]

sometimes I just own it at parties and serve as entertainment… I am working soooooooo hard to stop interrupting people, but really not worth the effort for a bunch of acquaintances at a party. I really want to be a good friend who listens and doesn’t just go on and on about herself. However, I often do this without even realizing it. I concentrate and wait for people to pause before saying something. sometimes I take deep breaths.. sometimes i say to myself..wait..wait..wait..wait. My friend recently told me that she notices that I open my mouth..make a tiny little barking sound and pull at my hair..then let her finish talking. She laughed and told me that it is her cue that I really want to say something. I was talking to her about possible ADHD. She had no clue about how much constant effort it is for me to not interrupt people. thank goodness I am so (over)stimulated at work that I don’t do this with clients!

I recently at work went on and on with this monologue to this really cute guy about how excited I was to use the bathroom >_<. long day, right? either charmed or totally put off. excellent filter, but I really need to not do this at work.
