There are people who talk and then, there are people who TALK.
I obviously belong to the second category! It does not matter whether you are a known person or a stranger, whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, or whether you even want to talk in the first place! Nothing can stop me from from chewing your brains off with my incessant chatter! Sometimes I feel, the term, 'nineteen to a dozen' was coined just for me!
No new place is new enough for me to keep my mouth shut. And no person is new enough for me not to begin talking to them. I can be at ease anywhere, with anyone. My mom says, I have the ability to make walls talk, if there's no living soul around! I often wondered if being this chatty was a disorder. I wondered why I have this urge to keep conversing? For quite sometime I thought it was normal to be able to converse. But many stiff upper lips and polite smiles later I realised, that it wasn't!
I'm definitely not boring and don't talk nonsensical or hurtful things, but I always manage to find something in common and starting a conversation is never a difficult job for me. There are friends who've told me they are usually introverts and are amazed at how they could converse so much whilst with me. There are friends who wait for me to turn up at parties. It great to hear these things, but at the same time, I also wish I'd learn to tone down a little bit.
Hubby dearest once secretly recorded my conversation with our friends and later played it back to me. I was horrified, to say the least! Though it was an engaging conversation, I was yapping away like there'd be no tomorrow! I am sometimes amazed at the sheer amount of things I speak!
Blogging has definitely helped me channel all that I want to say. I wouldn't say I talk less now, but yes, it is way lesser than it used to be!
Hahaha :) Loving this especially for the reason you so rightly mentioned :D I'm a 'yapper' too :D I talk a lot, and usually there's no shortage of topics :D Guess we would make a nice company :D
ReplyDeleteChatting is not a disorder and it's only human to talk. Blogging is an excellent means to channel this energy :)
ReplyDeleteits a good quality if you are using it so wisely like you said .. i wonder what make people say so many things while most of the time i end up with only one line "hmmm" (usually others get frustrated) :d
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice confession! The last sentence is really well put!!
ReplyDeletewoah! i always envied ppl who cud do dat! i never was able to initiate d conversation nor can i do dat nw!
ReplyDeleteI admire your gift of chatter around anyone. Sometimes I can, sometimes not. But I can always talk on the page. :-)
