Understanding Thought Process

One of the key ingredients of friendship is choice. Its amazing how much control we have in life. The power of perception can build up or tear down relationships. Interpersonal skills seem to be my most difficult issue to address. I try to break things down to the motives and the only true motive I will ever know is my own. I have focused a lot on my Intrapersonal relationships. I like knowing how to work with people. Unfortunately, I often find myself tied up on my words creating difficult situations when I attempt communicating with others. Also, my brain goes way ahead of me. Often I'm told that I think too much. I do. This creates unneccessary worry in my life. My thoughts interupt themselves and my brain goes into overdrive during conversations. I'm thinking about the conversation itself, the person who is speaking with me, anything pertaining to that person and anything outside the conversation that relates to a specific phrase spoken by the other person. Even a mere word can send me off thinking about something that if blurted would seem completely random. Whats worse is how quickly it then jumps from one thing to another. Apparently like I have done in this blog post. Perfect example.
