When with friends and my bookclub - I have to remind myself not to talk too much and then I leave thinking I did talk too much. I love to research & have researched for lawyers - so I can be a bit of a know it all. Now, with Groc 3 - my mind is filled with amazing info I want to pass on - but I need to talk less.

My boyfriend is an introvert - so I do a larger percentage of the talking. I try to ask people more questions about themselves to combat this. However, I have a grandaughter who definitely out talks me by 10. When we are together, I barely get to talk.
