Reticence is better
July 3, 2008
Just had a conversation in which someone shared with me some fairly personal facts. I thought, some of this is relevant to my experience – perhaps I should add my bit. I thought about it for a while first, but concluded that it’s good to share, even if it’s a bit revealing to do so.
The response to my personal revelation was “Yeah. Anyway…” and on with the agenda, without the faintest acknowledgement of the frankly quite unusual fact I’d just revealed.
My conclusion: just shut up and pretend to listen when self-absorbed types talk at you – possibly mentally composing blog entries to pass the time.

haha! Made me laugh that one. I know a few people like that. “Now enough about me, what do YOU think about me?”!!
