I tend to be overtalkative when in social situations, especially with new people. I usually do ok after I've known someone for a while, but I often don't get the opportunity to know people better. I've spent time tryint to study comedy and I am constantly trying to learn how to listen better, etc, it just takes time, like it took me about a year before I was relaxed around certain people. So, I try hard, but it just doesn't happen quickly, but people form opinions of me and they dont' give me a chance. Once people spend one on one time with me, they find out I'm a great person, but often this doesn't get to happen. I guess part of it is that I don't follow group conversations that well. as I've continued to improve healthwise I have gotten better. I'm not sure what more I can do. I really do try hard to focus on others, I try to listen, and I really seek to take an interest in others, I've gotten better, but people still tune me out. I read a lot of books to try to improve.
