Searching and Talking

Growing up I moved every couple of years between the ages of 9 and 14. For me that meant 8 different schools and 4 different states. Adjusting was never easy. It always took me time to make friends and just as I was finding my way and settling in, I would learn of a new move.

Anyone that knows me knows I talk too too too much. I’ve believed it was a flaw in my personality, something created by all of my moves and needing to feel accepted.

Recently I’ve read several articles that attribute excessive talking to anxiety and other experiences. Not a single therapist I’ve ever seen has helped me conquer this trait that drives me crazy. Even though I’ve always asked for help with this. This is one of those articles.

I apologize for being too talkative. And I hope it is something I can overcome.
