Gonna keep this as brief as possible. For my entire life I’ve felt that my strongest trait is my personality. People used to admire me for being fun, unique, and never boring. Even my ex once said he dated me because of this exact reason.
But over time, I’ve noticed a pattern. At first people like it, but after a few months, my “interesting personality” seems to cross over into “annoying.” I’ve been called annoying a lot, and I’ve even had friends cut me off without any explanation other than “you’re too talkative,” even though I was always there for them and tried to be a good friend.
For context, I am very talkative. I’ve been told that since childhood, and honestly, that’s just who I am. My personality is kind of what I’d call the “manic pixie nightmare” trope (not trying to be pick me, just something stated when I asked an ai for analysis) intense, energetic and chaotic.
So here’s my question: at what point does being interesting and fun cross into being too much for people? Is it just a matter of self-awareness and knowing when to pull back, or is it something deeper about my personality that I should actually work on? I'm honestly getting tired of being called and treated as "too much" and would appreciate any insights.
