Or so that's how it feels. Either everyone around me has something better to do than spend time with me or even talk to me, or I am rambling and pushing everyone away.
Right when I feel like I am having a great conversation, people tend to cut me off and excuse themselves. OR ... I am over analyzing things again and it's all in my head ... all I want is to have someone listen for a minute. I guess I am just lonely and clingy. I don't know if to chuck this to BP or pregnancy hormones  oh well ... thanks for reading

I don't know if it's the same thing but when I talk to people I always think that they are thinking I sound stupid or aren't really listening to me. I don't really have advice but I wanted you to know that you are not alone

I used to really get offended when someone abruptly ended the conversation untill I realised how hard it can be to end a conversation nicely! Don't take it personally, it is just the way things are in this busy world. One thing I have found helps is when you start a conversation always ask to make sure the other person is not really busy.

I feel the same way. There are certain people that no matter what I do, I'm sticking my foot in my mouth. I haven't got it all figured out, but the ones that seem to be live nerves to what I say....I'm learning to avoid.

I have classic foot-in-mouth disease, especially when I am hypomanic. I guess that's what makes us interesting? People shouldn't be so easily offended. I mean, we try, right?

I get easy offended when I feel like someone is trying to run away from me instead of listen too. But I try to remind myself that a lot of people are just not good listeners. I mean we all want to talk right, but a lot of people are not good at the taking turns part. Or at least that's what I gather.
Blackpup's tip was great tho, making sure they have time first.. gonna try that. When I was pg umm oh nightmare. I would think for sure your pregnancy hormones have a bit of role here. |

Thanks guys!! Even when I posted this I thought to myself "no one is going to understand what I mean less alone care" ... I am so glad I signed in today and found I am not alone and people DO care!
I am going to start my conversations with "is this a good time, I was hoping to talk to you" ... it might just relieve some stresses.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
