I have a problem. I know. I know, boys & girls ~ when don’t I have a problem? But I do. I really do.
No. It isn’t my clumsiness. Nor my laziness. Not even my tendency to procrastinate.
I can’t hold a thought in my head for longer than 5.2 seconds. It has become embarrassing. & detrimental to having a normal conversation. You know normal? Where someone talks until they are done talking & then someone else talks? Like that?
Yeah. That doesn’t happen with me. People are talking & I just hop stomp right in, right over them to say what I’m going to say cuz I JUST CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THEY STOP OR I WON’T REMEMBER WHAT I WANTED TO SAY!!
It has become verra, verra bad. I’m embarrassed by it, but I can’t stop! I’ve tried. I’ve tried waiting until they are done talking but the whole time I’m not listening to what they are saying because inside my head I’m repeatedly chanting what I want to tell so I don’t forget.
What can be done about this? Is there any cure? Or am I doomed to being that annoying friend?
I'm a lot like that too. I'm trying to remember that what I have to say may not be as important as listening. That's HARD bc I'm damn funny. I wish I knew the secret.
