Ramblers

I was at the grocery store gas station and a lady on the opposite pump from me came up to me and just started talking about her experience with the negative attendant. She was basically saying that so many people just have negative attitudes so thats why she tries to stay positive when dealing with them. She went on to describe several different situations dealing with negative people. I chimed in here and there but for the most part she did all the talking. Not only that, but she was a rambler. She would mention something and add meaningless extra details while staying on topic. She kept going on and on, but it's fine. I'm a listener. I just got off work and was in the middle of some errands, but was in no rush and wasn't bothered. She was nice, but just needed to get some stuff off her chest. Anyways, I thought it was funny because I seem to attract ramblers. In all my relationships with females, they have been ramblers, but in slightly different ways. They all can talk and talk without me saying anything and at the end it would just be over. I wasnt expected to add anything and paying full attention has been optional 😊. The differences (without mentioning names) would be that one just repeated the same thing over and over until they've said it enough times. One would get off topic and one thought would just lead to another until they realized they got off topic and forgot what their point was. One would get off topic a little but always found a way to get back on topic and tie everything together. It's always interesting listening to a rambler because I would just start thinking "do you realize you're just going on and on and I havent said a thing?" My mind would drift off into my own world sometimes, especially if I know I'm not expected to contribute to the conversation. I cant imagine myself rambling. I'm a terrible storyteller. When I'm with a group of people and they all are telling their stories, I usually remain silent. Other people will tell cool stories and give great details, then when it's my turn to attempt a contribution it's so short and to the point and lame. I usually dont even attempt to contribute anything. I'm just in the background "amused" by their stories. I think that's why we need to be with someone who is opposite of us. I cant imagine being married to someone like me. It would be the most boring relationship ever. Thats all. Thanks for sharing.
