Omg, thank you sm! Yes this might sound like me, I'm a pretty anxious person and constantly think about what people say about me. It also doesn't help that I tend to get talked over and ignored so maybe I just try to speak as fast as possible to get my idea in before someone intrerrupts me But when I talked to that stranger on the shore of the lake, she was listening to me fully and noding along. I expected her to intrerrupt me, but she just didn't.
