I find it odd, but ...

I find many people have told me I talk way too much, when I am either nervous, or excited. So I have been trying to slow down the talking, and say things once, then walking away, either mentally or physically, from the talking. I am waiting til the end of someone's sentence (which is difficult for me!) ...
I find it odd, but now that I am talking less... people ask me why I am not talking! "What is wrong, you aren't talking today."

Hmmmmmmmmmm...
Can't have it both ways. Either you accept my talking , or accept my talking less. I can't appease both avenues of thought. Really, I can't.
