When I'm talking to someone and I start to tell a story, I ALWAYS exaggerate a part of it and then I spend the rest of my time telling that story wondering whether or not the person has noticed that I exaggerated. If they have but don't bring it up then everything is fine and if they don't notice at all then that's perfect, but sometimes they notice and point it out. That gets awkward. Fast.
Me: And it's been YEARS since the end of series 2 and I don't think I can handle it...
Friend: Wasn't the end of that series last year?
Me: Yeeeeeah...well...it FEELS like years...and...
Friend: Carry on.
Me: Uhhhhhhh...
(If you know what series I'm going on about here the 10 points to whatever house you belong to)
Whenever someone distracts me by pointing out the flaw in my story telling skills then I proceed to lose my train of thought and then there's silence and the conversation just starts to
However, despite the many awkward situations this has caused, I can't seem to STOP doing it. Every bloody time I try to start talking, I will, 97% of the time, exaggerate on one of the details, and then the worst case scenarios start appearing in my mind. And then I start to wonder how I will cope with no friends.
And then a friend kindly informs me that I stopped mid-sentence.
Fun times, all this awkward business.
Until tomorrow, toodle pip.
