I'm usually not the one talking in a group setting, but when I'm one on on with someone, I tend to blabber. But I do require quiet to recharge, otherwise I get overwhelmed.

I was terrified of speaking in conversations, not snobby! So, now I veer between quiet and verbose, depending on the place and who I'm with. I prefer quiet for many hours at a time, punctuated by good conversations with people I'm comfortable with.<br />I'm adding that book to my TBR list.<br />And go Mrs. Larry! :)Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-25197159626938048552022-05-04T13:03:22.177-04:002022-05-04T13:03:22.177-04:00Definitely check out those shows, MJ!
