Dear Eric: I have realized recently that I talk too much. I don’t know if I have always talked too much. Whether this is a recent aberrant behavior, or not, I have to stop it. During my conversations I keep telling myself, “quit talking”, but I just keep going.
It’s bad in person but especially seems to be getting worse on phone calls. I just talked to a relative of mine, who is also a good friend, for three hours when I just called to ask her a question. I think in person I am sensitive enough to read people’s facial expressions and body language to keep conversations somewhat shorter.
