I was just wondering if others get the same issue...
When I'm very comfortable with people, I tend to talk a lot. Especially about my interests - i.e. about guitars, Aussie Rules football, Jethro Tull, Metallica. I find once I get started, I have a lot of problem stopping, and it usually takes a lot of unsubtle cuing from others before I finally get the message that they are bored/have no idea what I'm talking about/all of the above and stop. It requires a lot of self-control for me to stop, and sometimes it takes several attempts from other people to make me stop before I finally get the message. My boyfriend, for instance, has taken to just telling me repeatedly to "shut up" because he's found that sometimes it's the only way he can get through to me when I'm in the midst of a monologue.
