I'm a loudmouthed idiot that perpetually secretes awkward silences from his vocal folds, so I have to constantly work at keeping my mouth shut.
I put people into boxes, myself.
- Professionals go into the "shut up and listen, answer with Yes/No" box.
- Acquaintances goes into the "shut and listen, insert witty joke when possible" box.
- Coworkers go into the "get the job done, conversation is a means" box.
- Friends go into the "holy shit this guy is loud, callus, and way too jovial" box.
