Maybe have an ongoing IM window thing with someone for hours.

But not straight involved conversation for hours straight every day.

But...talking to someone for a few hours straight occasionally is just fine, depending on the person.

And talking to them every day is fine, too.

I get that not everyone's like that. I really do.

But, apparently, my mom doesn't believe me when I say there are people who ARE like that.

She says maybe that's why my friends are ignoring me, because I burnt them out with all the talking.

Which is a load of yackum.

Because the friends that are ignoring me, started ignoring me during periods of time where I didn't have time to talk to them long, or even at all.

I attribute it more to growing apart, honestly.

But my mom insists that every single person in this world I'll ever meet...

Cannot handle more than an hour of talking to any one person every day.

Okay.

I'm a bit on the odd side, I will admit.

But I refuse to believe for a second that I am THAT unique.

That I am THE ONLY person in this WHOLE WORLD who can talk to someone for a couple hours a day and not get tired of it.

Yeah, sometimes there's not much to talk about so I don't press it when that happens.

But it doesn't make me sick of the other person.

And I'm supposed to believe I'm the only one in the whole world like that?

Honestly....I think it would be almost like a friendship dealbreaker for me if I wasn't able to talk to someone for a few hours with no ill effects.

I don't demand it ALL THE TIME.

Or when there's nothing to talk about.

But if there's lots of stuff to talk about...and we have to stop talking because the person is sick of talking...

I can still be on friendly terms with them, and be friendly acquaintances.

But I wouldn't feel like I could count them one of my few actual friends.
