Sometimes a little hypomania is a good thing. I sailed through a job interview recently when I was in that state, and I KNOW the extra energy it gave me helped me land the position. I do talk a lot, but I don't get to the embarrassing stage until I'm full-blown manic. And at that point, I don't give a rat's @$$ what I say or who I say it to, and I usually don't remember much of it when I do go off like that.
