Something amazing happened to you today, you came back to your truck after karate lessons and found five $100 bills right beside your driver side door. When something amazing happens to you like this, you naturally start to think of who you're going to tell. You love to have something to talk about. Everybody does. We feel good when we talk about things we know a lot about.
You've also recently noticed an almost childlike behavior. When in conversations where people are talking about something that you don't care at all about, you zone out and basically start thinking of things that you'd rather talk about. Rather than constantly steering conversations your way, maybe you should chill and let Karen have her moment of glory talking about that cool new ferret leash she bought.
