Yes and no. I definitely talk too much at times and with friends but very little to everyone else. There are people who think that they know me and refer to me as "quiet". HA! Only around them...

It's the Irish curse. Or one of them. It's not a completely bad thing all the time, Irish people and Irish-Americans are known for being outgoing and friendly, fun at a party, etc... Being from MN., a very Scandinavian/German place, I definitely know the oposite. People who never say anything and seem like they really have nothing to say. Just reticent and reserved to the point of being really hard to get close to. There are some funny examples of the stereotype in "Fargo". People in Maine are actually suppose to be the most like this, it's hard to get 2 words out of them.

Obviously there is a balance. One needs to know when to shut up and listen.
