I do get this part. I talk way too much to avoid feeling silly or stupid about things. I still cannot get comfortable talking to this person about embarrassing stuff. I am way too worried about what T thinks than what I feel so I just babble on and on or switch topics prematurely if I feel I am annoying or losing T. I know this is not good but I cannot stop doing it!
Thanks for this!
