Sorry for not posting recently! Had a lazy spell this past month and a half. I would be lying if I said I was busy, but alas I’ve been spending what limited brain resources I have on just pondering about little ‘ol me, me and me.
So I’ll go against the grain and start off by telling you what’s new about me, but will talk about something more thought provoking, so bear with me…
Became vegetarian at the beginning of this year (had a bet with my brother) and after reading up on the pro’s and con’s of being Vegan I thought “why not, I might as well try” and took the plunge to go Vegan today! So I ordered a bunch of supplements that you can’t easily get on a Vegan diet: you can see them here:
For those of you new to iHerb, you can use my coupon code KZG261 to get up to $10.00 off your first order and give me a discount on my next order. I love these win-win deals!)
If you managed to bear with my obnoxious sense of self-worth and are still reading, thank you! And if you used my coupon code for your first iHerb purchase, a double thank you!
Now to the heart of my post! I think it’s obvious that I talk a lot about myself on my blog. It is after-all my blog. But after many days of reflection, I recently made an unpleasant observation that, without thinking and with NO malicious intent; I talk about myself a whole lot during face-to-face conversations.
Even when someone is talking to me about what they are doing or did, I somehow manage to spin it around and find some commonality about myself. And to add insult to injury I do this selfish deed to the people I care about the most!
Most of the time I feel like I need to say something to make the other person feel like I’m engaged, but other times I do it for validation. I guess this reason makes sense when I’m talking with someone whose opinion I respect. But there are other times I simply just have an itch to talk about ME.
It’s embarrassing to remember during some conversations I had people literally falling asleep while I spoke one-on-one to them. It makes me laugh about it now. How I stupidly used to blame it on my monotone voice or lack of vocal inflection. How wrong I was! It must have been super boring to hear a one-sided conversation about someone else’s life story.
So from my next conversations, I will try to make a conscience effort to not talk about myself and start trying to talk as myself!
