[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh man, I’m kind of like this in menopause. Well, not THAT bad but I have an almost compulsive need to verbalize the things that are causing me stress. I’m only like that at home with my family, so I can control it but I’m sure it annoys the F out of them. I likely do have undiagnosed ADD.

I’m really trying to work on it. I’m very aware of it, unlike your relative and thankfully, I’m also a good listener and can be quiet for long stretches - this is very intermittent, during periods of high stress.[/quote]

Ufff. I am in the same shoes. I am horrified at how much I talk nowadays. Yes, I am also a good listener but the need to verbalize everything invokes shame for me after it is over.  [/quote]

No one respects talkative people.  Mainly because they  overshare, come across as vapid, arrogant, shallow, judgemental, low-intelligence, know-it-all or gossipy.

I am supposed to walk for an hour every day for my health.  I find I find it easy if I am on the phone talking to people.  But, I am aware that no one needs to be subjected to my talking endlessly for an hour.  For the sake of my self-respect and to preserve my friendships, I am absolutely  contemplating having some kind of chatGPT or AI conversation companion every day.   I know it sounds a little sad, but right now I cannot think of a better and cheaper solution than this. The only problem I have is the fear that AI could exploit the conversation data.[/quote]

Do you have social anxiety or something?  You have a serious hang up about talking.  Is your first paragraph what you keep telling yourself?

A conversation is good, most people appreciate it.  My two close friends and I have a weekly zoom gab fest that we look forward to.  [/quote]
