Actually, that's kind of you, but I don't view it so much as appeasement as I do wanting to build more flexibility into my personality. (Trust me. My personality could use a lot more flexibility.)

For example: There are other things I will speak about with family and friends that I would never really speak about with my husband, shared interests and the like. Choosing not to talk about those things with him isn't really changing a fundamental part of me, it's just choosing to speak on different topics.

But I also agree this is not just about me being quiet all the time. If others have suggested that in these comments, I have tried to nicely point out there's room for everyone in conversations to adjust a little bit--non-overlappers can try to understand that overlappers are often just enthusiastic; overlappers can try to understand that non-overlappers often just plain don't get that kind of talk.

Thank you for reading!
