Since being on my "Happy Pills" I have found one of my personality traits to return is my incessant need to talk in social situations. I am not sure if it is a good thing or not.

See I have this problem, verbally, when in a group of people I do not know all that well, for example this past weekend I attended a friend's Tupperware party and there were a couple of ladies I wasn't overly familiar with, and so I try to relate to them by sharing my own experiences which relate to what they might be talking about.

Not such a big deal, right well yes it can be as I feel like I come across as obnoxious when in fact I am only just excited to be around new people but I feel nervous so I talk and talk and talk. Then I become known as the "know it all", "story for every thing" type of person.

This time around I seem to not only do it around new people but those in my group of friends here in town too and it worries me a lot. These ladies are fantastic and seriously their friendship over the past two and half years has seen me through the darkest times even if they aren't aware of how much it meant to me. The thing is they have only know me as what I know refer to as the "bat shit crazy" Renee. I didn't actually go crazy but my poor hubby definitely was on the end of some crazy irrational rants on the phone. They don't know I have a constant need to share and relate to people due to me awkward fear of socialising and needing to blend in. 

Thankfully though with this new "ME" I am also only to happy to explain my, I guess you might call it quirky behaviour. This time around it is all about being straight up, open and honest with those I love and care about.

So what is one trait about yourself that you think is misinterpreted?
