hehehehe i am the same same same way!!!!

if chit chat doesn't have the purpose to get deeper - it drains me so fast! LOLOL

but people see me as very outgoing and gregarious - but this is all taught/learned. just like you. I saw a need to use it, and so I do it well to get to my ultimate goal of connection - deeper connection :)

my mountain is in the Sierra Nevadas - in central Cali... we are about an hour from King's Canyon - and about 2 hours from Yosemite.

It is so beautiful here :)
