I’m an energetic and voluble overtalker. That means I irritate a lot of people. You have to interrupt me to get a word in edgewise.

Luckily, being interrupted makes perfect sense to me. It just means I have to try to remember what I was going to say when I listen to you, and will probably interrupt you in turn.

Most of my friends are therefore overtalkers as well.

They don’t mean “active listening” to describe what I do, but boy is it active, what I’m doing. I’m listening, I promise. 

In fact, what you are saying is probably the highlight of my day, and I will write about it later in my journal.
