Do you? 

Have you blown a job interview because you couldn't stop your stream of consciousness? Didn't have that second date because you clearly used up all of the words you were allotted in your lifetime on the first date? Find yourself conducting a conversation with a "wrong number," simply because they inadvertently dialed your number?

We've all been there, and done that. (Okay, maybe not you, but some of us). simply, inexplicably, unrelentingly, obsessively, blabbed on. How come?

I tried to find some scientific explanation. A hormone running rampant? A misfiring of a synapse? Personality Anxiety Disorder? Reverse Lockjaw?

In my poking around I did come across  a compulsive talking measurement test.  I kid you not. If you wish to take the test, go ahead. I, for one, am pretty clear that I don't want to know the result. 

Talking to yourself is okay. If you find yourself hanging on your every word, are sure that you haven't said it before, and can't wait to tell it to yourself again, maybe that's not such a bad thing.  

Or, you can opt for  Yogi Berra's, antidote for being accused of talking too much. He said "I didn't really say everything I said."
