When you're having a convo with someone in RL, do you tend to fill in the gaps or do you feel comfortable with leaving space? What do you think of people who do the opposite to you?
I've been thinking about a friend who's an infernal gap filler, who I adore but blooming heck it often feels like there's no space for me. We only see each other once every few years so it's not easy to steer the convo towards things she does that annoy me (or vice-versa, I'm sure!). So I've not yet mentioned it, and wouldn't unless we started seeing each other more often (unlikely as it would involve her leaving her well-paid job and moving back to the UK!).
We've known each other since school days so it can't be nerves on her part - maybe it's just habit/ general discomfort with silence.
