honestly, i struggle to be around people who talk too much, especially if it is superficial, because i sense they are uncomfortable and are using it as a defense mechanism to hide behind. it makes me question who they really are, what their motivations are, and i struggle to trust them. it definitely hinders me from wanting to form a more intimate relationship with them because often they are too busy rambling on about themselves to even give a rats arse about me and my feelings.
do you think you are over talking as a way to mask your true self or to keep people at a distance , even in therapy?
