Realising how much I blather on!

[TwoCoffeesPlease]

I have lost my voice.

I’m not unwell, I have always had weak vocal cords since I had terrible laryngitis when I was 16. I went out Friday night, lots of shouting over music and felt a bit hoarse in the morning but it was okay. On Tuesday evening we had friends over, conversation was loud and after a few wines I do go on a bit.

By the end of Tuesday night I had lost my voice and it’s still not back so I’m resting my voice this evening.

I have realised how much I blather and witter on about absolutely nothing because I have been constantly stopping myself from blurting out anecdotes, stories and random thoughts. My poor DH 😂

Cab anyone relate? Am I, in fact, not chatty as I suspected but actually really really annoying?!

Ooh, I like a good chat! I can natter all day.

Me! I can tell when I'm doing it because DH gets a bit of a bemused expression 😂

I can totally relate! Now that I'm aware of it I think before I share. If I find myself rambling I wrap it up. I don't feel bad about it as it's part of me, but I think twice of whatever I might share had any relevance to what is being talked about!

We’re sitting on the sofa and I keep wanting to tell him what happened to my colleague, what I had for lunch, how difficult it was to find curly fries in the coop earlier 😂

I hope you're well again soon OP. I recently had to give a short overview of a project on a zoom meeting. The minutes taker used some AI voice to speech thing for the notes and sent me the transcript. I nearly cringed myself inside out realising I barely finished a sentence and just waffled on and on... (well, it was only 3 minutes, but reading it back seemed an eternity)

Thanks @EllaMenopee

Oh no that sounds like I worst nightmare - sooo conscious of not talking too much in work meetings but sometimes it just keeps coming out!

I have to say that there is a woman at work who does this and I do wonder if she realises how much airtime she gets vs everyone else! Our team meetings feel like the 'X' show sometimes

@Legomania i expect she doesn’t realise to be fair!

I always think my SIL is terrible for wittering on - she can’t just let a silence lie, even a comfortable one. But this evening has got me wondering if I’m just as bad!
