Since I joined TFF, I can say that I have met several notable people. I have had memorable discussions, I have made memorable friends, I have talked to more great people than I would have otherwise in real life. However, I feel that I might be going too far when interacting with people. Someone says hi, or I say hi to them, and I find that I tend to perpetuate conversations for long periods of time. I feel that I might be pushing people away by trying too hard to meet them and be a nice person.
I value great people, I value moderation, and I definitely value discussion. I think I might be failing to excersize moderation.
Any suggestions? Should I stop, slow, or continue my communication patterns?
As a friend, I can say that you should stick to what you do, however, I wouldn't try to continue a ended conversation or drawl out one. I would just talk to someone just like you would in real life, talk and have fun but don't over stay the conversation. I mean no disrespect when I say this and are merely trying to help the situation. Some people may feel pressured if a conversation overstays its welcome, for example, if someone were to say "Yeah, it will be fun, I'll message you when it's over", and you said "Great, I'll talk to you later", that would be how the conversation would end but if you overstayed the conversation and said "That's good but what happened to that video on YouTube?" that would be overstaying the conversation because the other person had to do something or just wanted to end the conversation and you are trying to continue the subject.
What I'm trying to say is that you should not try to over do it and just be more subtle, that's not to say you can't talk to people for extended periods of time, I'm just saying stick to your gut and not over do it. As a friend, I don't think you are over doing it but if you talk more with other friends then I would just ask them, there's no harm in that.
