Yup. That explains why I had to move out from my hubby and get a separate place. He keeps talking, just to fill the air ..... and meanwhile, I am getting more and more drained from that same talking. He keeps a radio going 24 hrs a day, just so there is noise in his now empty (but for him) house. I haven't turned my TV on in 14 months. I listen to the radio while I am making my dinner or the doggies's, but I turn it off when I sit down to eat and read.
Sigh .... bliss! Except that I do keep having him over for dinner. Then the evening is full of words again, and I have to unwind afterwards. (and ignore half of it, even while it is occurring)

Yeah .... my mother was an intense extrovert. She filled up a room when she walked in. She got energy from everyone around her. And, she talked, whistled, sang, all day long.
Then there was me and my step-father. He and I would just sit next to each other and read, or watch TV, and someone would *sometimes, but rarely* make a comment. But mostly, we just felt very comfy sitting there together just being two silent lumps on the couch, while my mom whirled around the house talking.
My sister is the same as my mom. I can only be around her for about 10 days max before I pretty much want to kill her just to have some peace and quiet. I like quiet. Being alone is such a nice way to be.
