hello,
so i have a rigid fear of talking too much, which is why i am holding myself back ALWAYS. I ask a lot of questions but seldom share stories of my own because if I do so, I immediately feel like I am boring the other person, that i am taking too much space in the conversation, that i talk too much and hence the person is not going to like me anymore because i would be "too narcicisstic and self-centered". how do i come over this fear and how much talking is really too much? i noticed that i am around people that talk a lot and share their stories all the time yet i don't complain but enjoy listening to the stories, even more i would like to be as outgoing as they are and tell stories by myself, but i am always holding back. what is too much and how can i overcome my fear of talking too much? anyone been there?
