I have begun to notice myself being overly paranoid and moody, and that I tend to try to give people too much information about my motives and reasoning (in an attempt to prevent myself from not talking to anyone about anything).
As such, I wanted to mention to people that my ability to determine what information is needed, what is enough, and what is too much, is starting to go away. As is my ability to determine how alien my actions might appear to others (with me being likely to expect that *everything* I do/say/think is alien).
(Yes, this is a regular, seasonal, occurance. Doesn't make it all that much easier to deal with)
Therefore, even more so than normal, feel free to say something if I'm explaining too much, or if you feel left out of my thought processes. I don't *think* there is anyone for whom this is likely to be a huge problem, but wanted to say something anyway.

Date: 2003-10-06 10:16 am (UTC)With people where I have reasonably good reason to believe that they *can* manage to filter out what actually matters when I'm at a point where I can't do that terribly well, the initial problem of my giving too much information matters less (not willing to say that it doesn't, because I suspect everyone can be overwhelmed with information, it just varies on how much is too much).
And, if I'm less worried about overwhelming with too much information, I'm much less likely to get to a point where I don't talk enough.
So, it may be a tangent, but I think it relates. :)
