Another really early morning, semi-pointless entry from yours truly.
I know I talk too much, but sometimes I really wonder if I shoot myself in the foot more than most people do accidentally because I keep talking myself into trouble.
Like, if a friend has a problem, I want to listen to them, and end up finding that I start just talking about their problem to them and trying to give them advice...when in fact usually what most people want is just for me to shut the hell up and just listen to what is going on.
Or more recently, if I am getting to know somebody I might say something they are uncomfortable with and then request that I go into further detail in order to explain this thing that I said that made them uncomfortable. And that's usually where I scare people off. I get so nervous about things like that. It gave me a major anxiety attack this morning and I hope that I can work through being such a fucking chatterbox when I'm nervous or when a friend is sad so that I actually HELP people/myself instead of just listening to myself talk. Also it is 5:33am and I can't really read what I'm writing so I apologize for lack of coherency.
