Hey who cares if all of your dates said to you that you talk too much, that everything has to be your way, that you seek too much validation, or that you constantly need attention. Someone got to feel you right? Wrong. Most people are looking for those that can communicate equally and share equally with one another and aren't a burden! Meet half way! You will be on your island alone for a long time if this doesn't change. Talking excessively about yourself or in general and promoting opinions as though they're facts also translates to your partner that you are controlling and manipulative. This could be a serious problem since most individuals that fall in this category become desperate. Here's a great quote for you, "If you can’t change someone else eventually you’ll have to change yourself ..."-Joyce Meyer
