SIR TALKS-ALOT

Intro I tend to talk a lot, and it's something I’ve noticed about myself over the years. It's not that I mean to dominate conversations, but I often find myself fully engaged in discussions on a wide range of topics. Whether I’m talking about something as current as the latest news, sharing personal experiences from my past, or recounting the smaller moments of my daily life, I tend to get so caught up in the flow of the conversation that I sometimes lose track of time. I’ve often found myself speaking for much longer than I intended, not fully realizing how much I’ve said or how much space I’ve taken up in the exchange. This isn’t always intentional. I have a genuine enthusiasm for connecting with others, for sharing my thoughts and hearing theirs, and for exploring different perspectives. Conversations feel like an opportunity to bond, to share experiences, and to voice my opinions on a wide array of subjects. There’s a sense of excitement that comes with engaging in these exchanges, which can make it easy for me to get carried away and keep talking without noticing that others might not have had a chance to share their own thoughts yet. I also recognize that, while I enjoy being an active participant in these dialogues, it can sometimes make it difficult to find that natural rhythm where everyone is equally involved. I get so immersed in the conversation that I forget to pause and give others the time and space they need to contribute. It’s a tendency I’ve become more aware of recently, and while I don’t mind being outspoken, I’ve come to understand that finding a balance is key. I want to make sure that conversations remain a two-way street and that others feel as heard as I do. It's something I’m still working on, as I value the connection that good dialogue can create, but I also want to ensure that I’m mindful of giving others the chance to engage in the way they feel comfortable.
