Talkative Aspies

Post Reply New Topic

When I was younger I would only talk about the same thing over and over again with people. Not that I know that this is annoying for most I dont do it at all. Today, I cant even hold a long conversation if my life depended on it.

It depends on who im with and where I'm at. I either talk too little (usually people Im not familier with) or too much (family, people Im comfortable around) oh and what the conversation is.

( I don't know how to say this nicely, but) I never shut up!

i never shut up, not even when i'm asleep - i sing and tell stories in my sleep, apparently...

non-stop entertainment, or grounds for justifiable homicide?

then the trick is to talk them into stunned submission, and then leg it before they interrupt... (smiley emoticon thing, with perhaps just a hint of a devilish grin).

When I'm with my friends and aquaintences, I can talk non-stop about almost anything. Though, I might go on about my Twin, sometimes. (Austin Powers) When someone who looks like someone suspicious from my Past and they join into the conversation, I'll freeze up and look straight ahead, waiting for that person to leave, than I'll start talking again.

I don't talk with my Family very much. I prefer to listen to their stories. If there's something that I'd want to share with them, I'd remember that I've done so many times before. (My desire to go to London) There are also things that I can't really talk to them about like feelings and emotions. The main thing is that despite all that, we all love each other very much, even though we have a funny way of showing it.

Sure thang I like to talk!

Most people think I'm shy; but, once I get to know them, I might just talk their heads off!

Yeah people say I talk alot generally and usually continuous in comments and even worse when I'm nervous because then I laugh.

I'm talkative with people I know, or subjects that interest me. I find small talk difficult and am usually the quiet one in a gathering of people I don't know, but once I get going on something interesting it's difficult to get me to shut up.

I thought I'd got the interrupting thing under control, but according to a friend I do it constantly I talk through television programs, music, and other people's conversations. If there's something I want to say I can't stop myself, it will come out.

I used to get into trouble at school - looking back at my school reports I notice that for subjects I liked, the teachers commented that I was a chatterbox, always talking and interrupting the class, and for subjects I wasn't interested in the comments read that I was 'in my own world', daydreaming, or staring out of the window or at the ceiling (I have a thing about textured ceiling plaster) instead of concentrating.

I'm not talkative enough, and that's my whole problem. I'm too scared to talk to a lot of people. And whenever I did, I used to make a complete arse of myself, although I've now learnt to think before I speak, so that's rarely the case any more.

I'm still not perfect at it. But you should try and look at things from the other persons point of view. How would you feel if the same thing was told to you? It's hard but you get quicker at doing it as you get used to it.

My brother and I are both self-diagnosed, and my mother has almost killed him when we're on a car trip because he never stops talking. I'm either way to talkative for people to comprehend (I talk really fast, too), or I won't say a single word, but that's only when I'm depressed or nervous usually.
