Just a place for anyone to be silly, playful and whimsical.
Xxx
Thank goodness. x
I wasn't told that bluntly, but I learnt early on that my desire to talk about "serious" things wasn't reciprocated other people and as I have never been good at small talk, I just stopped talking. And haven't re-started.
My escape plan is on hold for the time being.
Was that aimed at me? Or I should say my post. I did apologise to people and know I sounded grumpy.
Hahaha I like that!
I was a 7yr old that really wanted to discuss concepts and ideas, I was always told "shut up talking nonsense" by my mum.
That sounds similar to when I've a decision to make: always too many possible options to consider.
Did you hear about the magic tractor? It went down the road and turned into a field
Fairly sure he’s got ADHD or autism or both.
I just witnessed my nephew this very evening get told -albeit in a jokey way - to ‘shut up’ as he was spouting fact after fact in an unending stream of words. I was being overwhelmed by several inputs going on at once (how visits home tend to go) none of which I can tune out to foreground only one. So I was grateful when he went silent for a bit, but felt bad too that he’d been made to feel like he was being too much just by talking how he talks. And I know how that feels.
I have far too many conversations going on in my head at once that I forget to provide vital info
I'm trying to figure out who I am. It's not easy, and too often I consider ending things to escape to overwhelm.
I'm forever doing that. My mum did too.
I didn't supply enough data
Same!
Oh gosh yes
In our first year or so of life, we were encouraged to talk all the time, once we learned to talk, we were told to shut up for the rest of our childhood.
No, I made assumptions based on incomplete data!
