the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy suggests that people talk so much to prevent their minds from working. that doesn't necessarily contradict your statement.
Remember what I was saying about how I'm one of those people who finds it easier to talk about things in text? Not that that's feeling very clear (with various people) of late.
I'm frustrated with talking. There's a sense of all this wonderful connection and communication going on... but it wears off, it feels like an illusion of connection. You can ask a million questions and never get the answer that clarifies. I can learn a bunch of things about a person and they are only details. There have been times when I get a good sense of a person and that person gets a good sense of me, and it's not something that happens through talking, it's not that I can apply an approach (conversation about Really Deep Thoughts) and achieve that result, it seems to be something that happens or doesn't.
And I'm so #@***!@ that it doesn't happen. I just want to be quiet and crawl into my little space and not say anything because really, what's the point? Why even try?

And I hate asking. I really, really hate asking.
This too shall pass, but right now, I wish...
