[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extroverts truly don't get that it is actually normal and OK and not rude to want a few breaks to recharge and enjoy some peace and quiet. I swear, my MIL fills silence. Every breath is filled with chatter. There is no such thing as companionable silence, in her view.[/quote] My local mom does this. I've posted before that I have traveled with her and she talks non stop. I've tried listening to the radio or satellite radio in the car...even announce that I want to hear a program...she'll be quiet for about 2.5 seconds then starts up again. She thinks it's so rude to not be fully engaged in some rambling chatter. And, it's all one sided. She talks about herself, her friends, my siblings, anything and everything. Sit quietly and read a magazine? Watch tv? Absolutely not. I've boarded a plane with her and she brings nothing to do. Expects to talk. I take a Xanax and sleep. [/quote]
