I thought I'd try this blogging thing since writing things down is very cathartic for me. I am starting to wonder if I have a problem with overly talkative people. For some reason, I tend not to trust them as much as other people. For some, when people talk and share with others, this causes them to open up and share, as well. But, not the case with me. I do like to listen to others tell me about their lives, don't get me wrong, but for whatever reason when people talk a lot about nothing I get annoyed. I guess I don't trust easily? I don't even know what I'm trying to say.

Talkative people tend to be drawn to me, too. Not sure what that's about. I guess they can talk and talk and they think I listen intently, which I attempt to do, but after awhile I like some quiet. People make me feel like there's something wrong with me when I don't share, and when I don't talk to them. There's nothing wrong with me, I just don't feel like talking all the time! There is a time to talk and a time to be quiet. I tend to like more of the latter.

Unfortunately, people who are talkative tend to try to control everything around them, and because I don't talk as much, they tend to get away with it. This is my fault and something I am working on, but it goes both ways. I'll try to speak up more, but you gotta shut up sometimes! I hate it when people expect you to change, but refuse to even think about changing themselves.

I guess on that note I'll shut up myself.

Peace.
