My brother asked me a fw years ago "Do you always say EVERYTHING you are thinking?" I thought "Umm, doesn't everyone?"

But apparently they don't.

My brother constantly makes fun of me for this.

I've been told by a teacher I talk too much, I have been told by my friends I speak my mind and I have been told I say things lot of people wouldn't normally say.

There seems to be some magic balance of sharing versus hiding personal information that most people intuitively know. I have no idea where that sweet spot is and have found through trial and error that it is better to appear aloof and reserved then to spill my guts.


Yeah, when I stop filtering, and drop my defenses, I tend to say too much. I say things that I regret. So I rarely drop my defenses.
