Are you guilty of data dumping????

I don't usually do that, mostly because I expect the other person not being interested in those thiings, but also because I have a hard time structuring my thoughts and sentences while talking.
But actively ask me about psychiatry or a certain book or TV series, and I will explode. I can talk for hours.

Any shows you recommend? :)
 
I was about to talk about how much I can do this...and then realized that's exactly what I would be doing. Double. Edged. Sword.

That so depends on your taste - the ones I watch(ed) and can obsess about are pretty mainstream, I guess. Some more current examples are Friends, The Big Bang Theory (guilty as charged), Anne with an E, S.W.A.T., but among them were also Game of Thrones, Lost, and others.
 
I can do this with music history and the history of the woodwind instruments.

I remember once I had a coworker who told me she played the clarinet. Poor lady, she awakened it and I swear her eyes glazed over. I can't tell you what she was thinking but I could imagine it was "Goodness gracious, lady! Just because I told you I play the clarinet does not mean that I'm particularly interested in this history of woodwind instruments going all of the way back to ancient Greece."

*sigh* :oops:
 
One of my autistic friends has repeatedly told me that if he asks me what time it is, I give him the life history of the clock maker.

I'm sure if she could just find a way to clear the trivial chatter in her mind and really LISTEN, she'd also find it wonderful. ;)
