Maybe I don’t talk too much. Maybe you just listen to little.

This came up to me today when I was watching a funny show and there was a scene that was louder than most because the person on the show was singing. My sister was in the kitchen and she asked “what are they doing on the show right now?” And i said “the boy and his friend are doing all these crazy stunts to get a Guinness world record. He tried to hold the longest singing note”. And she laughed and said “wow thats crazy haha”. Then I said “yeah they did a lot of crazy stunts. First they tried to to break the world record for the longest netball game, and they ran out of breath. then largest pancake, and they sucked at cooking, it was so funny. Then they tried running up the stairs a lot and -“

Then she said “okay!!! I only asked one thing, you don’t have to explain the whole thing. I asked for one thing, I don’t need you to over explain.

And it’s like…I was just describing the scene? And I only had 2 things left to list. I wasn’t going to read you the entire transcript of the full episode. Like, I assumed we were in conversation because YOU started a conversation with me first and I was following up with it. Duh. Jeez you can’t handle a convo that’s longer than 2 sentences?

And no, I’m not one of those people that will go on forever and ever. I know when to stop talking. I’m not one of those people who talk too much. And trust me I know I’m not because I’ve been around people who PAINFULLY talk too much, and I know for a fact I’m nothing like them. Also I pick up in social cues pretty well. If I know someone’s in a rush, or they can’t talk right now or they just don’t FEEL like talking at the moment, I can pick up on that. And I respect that and don’t talk to them or bother them. I have issues with other social skills but I’m good at social cues for sure.

Anyway, I hate talking to people and feeling like I have a “limit” or “timer” that I can talk to them. As if I “overstayed my appointment time” with talking to them or something. Like, do I have an under 300 character when i’m talking to you? What is your problem? Does your brain short circuit after two sentences? Jeez.
