Know-It-All Energy
One of the social flaws I have often is coming across as a know-it-all.
For some reason, I seem to need to think and process things on a much higher time period than other people. I estimate that I spend an average 1-2 hours a day just thinking random subjects, and as a result, I have a really strong need to try to formulate those thoughts into words. It gets to the point that whenever a conversation touches on a related subject, I tend to describe all my thoughts on it at once, which comes off as overwhelming and pretty self-centered.
Well, I think it's self-centered anyways – I suspect that vanity can sometimes play a role in me saying too much, too.
How does one go about resolving something like that? An ideal version is to find someone who is very similar in terms of the need to elucidate ideas, and has a lot of similar interests. I'll be on the lookout, though I suspect that it might be hard to come by.
In some other ways, I've come to realize that blogs are a way for me to remove that excess energy too. And blogging more often is likely a good alternative, if I could work out a balance between time-investment and quality of communication.
In the short term, I would say – expect a bit more blog posts to come in in the future.
