>>>> Then I babble. I am a silencefiller. I HATE that. I can't stop myself either. I think-Shut up! Shut up! ANd my mouth keeps going.<<<<

Boy, me too. That's why I can't handle social situations. I'll say anything to fill a silence, even if I have no interest in talking to the person. So I haven't thot about what I'm saying, and some bizarre stuff comes out.

I wasn't that way twenty years ago. I felt I had No obligation to fill silence in social situations, and just let it ride.I worked hard to get that silent-ability stamina.

As my nerves have ripped apart I've lost it. Or some stage happened in between.

Maybe just a desire to be somewhere else.

But it doesn't matter now, I do it even if I want to be there. Damnit.

At least with alcohol I don't care so much about what I say, I say things closer to what I mean 50% of the time, and am a little more inventive and capable.

What a mess.
