Loquacious

A loquacious person is someone who is chatty or talks a lot. When I’m on the phone with my sister or best friend, we can talk for hours. I’m definitely an extrovert and I chat with strangers all the time. I am always starting conversations with someone while waiting in line, or on the train. In school, I was called “teacher’s pet” because I sat in the front, and was always raising my hand to answer questions in class. I actually feel uncomfortable when the teacher asks a questions and people just sit there.

I’m an open book, and sometimes tend to overshare, but I really try not to. I make sure to read the body language of the person I am with so I don’t make them uncomfortable or bother them. I also have to concentrate on not monopolizing the conversation. Sometimes I just get too excited, especially if I have a story that goes with what the other person is talking about. I like to get to know people and feel connected.

I may be talking quickly, but behind the scenes, my brain is going a mile a minute! It’s like the duck on the pond. He looks like he is swimming serenely along, but his feet are paddling furiously under the surface. People tell me that I am so random. If they ask me, I can always list all the links that got me from Point A to Point Z in the conversation. But, even I sometimes lose my train of thought.
