Hello Sapir, the title of this article attracted me. How? I'm a man that talks a lot and a man who've talked and typed too much. That's one of the reasons I'm on Medium. I had to transfer that energy. I understand what you mean because I was that guy. Discernment, reading the room, and body language can be a powerful ally in conversation. People don't catch cues because they're absorbed in themselves and I wonder if they even realize the other person is there. I've come a long way. I don't ever want to engage in a one way conversation. Two people conversing is so much better. Again, we have to learn how to read the room. As an empath it's unfortunate you have to take on others emotions that you didn't ask for. Remember boundaries is your force field. This read was enlightening. It helped me grow and be better.
