A few years ago, I was invited to attend a conference at which several of the speakers were women. One speaker (a woman) had been in my life for almost 20+ years and she seemed very nice but also extr

Aneous; there wasn't anything particularly special about her or any other person on the panel that stood out as unique from what we all knew before. However when asked if they could share some personal stories with me afterwards it turned into an awkward silence until one man said "Oh you know...I really wanted to tell you something". That led to more quiet conversation between us both being interrupted by this new guy who began talking back while continuing his own story without interrupting anyone else. He then proceeded saying things like "well i dont want to do st anymore" followed up by asking how long he planned doing so because after awhile people would start thinking.
