I know you're not much of a talker. I out of everyone should know that best having been with you for 3 years now and known you for almost 7. I know it's your way to be the listener because you enjoy hearing me talk and hearing my voice. But you gotta remember, as much as I like that you listen to me so well, I like hearing your voice too. Conversation is a two way street, it can't just be me talking all the time :/
(as odd as this seems, this isn't exactly something I can say to this person because we've had a similar discussion before and made no headway.)
