How do I stop being "self-centered"?
My friend kind of called me out by saying that I always have a comment/reaction after someone says something. 😭 Though it's not that I interrupt them, but the moment they finish talking, my brain instantly has something to say, like an observation, related experience, reaction, etc. It's like I never really run out of things to say.
The thing is, I don’t think I do it because I don’t care about other people. If anything, I get too engaged. I also spend most of my time alone (since I'm just living by myself here in the Philippines) and dealing with my own thoughts, so when I'm around friends I become way more hyper and talkative than I normally am.
Now I'm wondering if this is some form of being self-centered, or if I just don't know how to regulate my conversational energy properly. Though I do think that I might just ask my doctor to put me back on meds, as I noticed when I'm on meds that's when I'm more on the quiet side.
