So Much To Say

**TimeParadox** · 08-19-2009, 06:50 PM

Have you ever felt like you just have so much you want to say when someone tells you something [whether it's a problem, they're asking for advice [this one esp], or just some other opinion] and you feel pissed off because there isn't enough time with this person to say it all, or it would just take way too long and they might get tired of it, or you just keep on thinking of stuff later that you felt like you wanted to say originally?

Not usually. Usually I can cram down what I need to say into a couple sentences.

no but i seem surrounded by people like that sometimes

**Latro** · 08-19-2009, 09:39 PM

Rarely, but occasionally, yeah. I also start to forget stuff as I talk sometimes.

If it is someone I know well and it is on a subject I am knowledgeable on, then I can talk for quite a while. If it isn't someone I know but still a subject I am knowledgeable on, then I say a few sentences at a time and if they show interest I will keep going. If it's someone I don't know and a subject I don't know too well, then I usually judge it on a case by case basis if they are worth going in depth details about. I mainly ask, "Can I gain anything from them?"

I have it all the time. Well, either I want to say as much as I can about a subject or I don't want to say anything at all, depending on my knowledge of it. I have no in-between. To me it is a matter of personality, being both highly perfectionistic and deeply suspicious of communication. The only way I can ensure myself my thought is understood is by expressing it as completely as I can, so if I see something missing in my verbal expression I will immediately add it. I consider it a rule in my relationships (platonic ones as well) that, if they are really good, I will leave a date with the other person with a lot more to say than at the beginning of our date.

It doesn't piss me off, though. If something interesting pops into my head when the other person just left there still is e-mail and short text messages. And if the thought gets lost somewhere between one conversation and the next one it probably wasn't as interesting or important as it seemed at first.

I have had urges like that more than once, but what I do to combat it is to condense what I'm going to say into concise and meaningful sentences. Anxiety can ruin this for you, I've noticed, so I have to slow down and concentrate on what I want to say when such a situation arises, otherwise I could blabber all day about something that I find intellectual or emotional interest in with someone.

Generally, I have too much to say the first time, I lose interest and drift out of the conversation. However, I am able to be concise when the topic reappears because I have had time to run it through past my little cognitive interpretation programs, which seem to have taken over a large part of my thought patterns.
