About This Quote

When people are really excited about something, they often don’t stop talking about it. They can’t help themselves. When people are passionate about something, they feel compelled to share it with the world. And when people are passionate, they are very likely to get their partners involved.

But if you find yourself in a conversation where you cannot listen to the other person speak because you are too busy interjecting your own thoughts, you are being rude. You may think that your partner is being unreasonable by asking for quiet, but remember that you have just put both of your partners into an uncomfortable situation where neither can express their feelings without risking escalation.
