Someone used to always say, sarcastically, "share don't scare" when I attended retreats in college. See, we'd sit around and just talk, talking about ourselves, our walls, weaknesses, hopes, dreams what have you. But at some point it'd turn silly and we'd have to remind each other to not scare the group with their sharing.
Sometimes when someone shows a slight interest in my love of beer I feel myself going overboard in telling them about my feelings. I become a conversation hog, and most likely go into too much detail for the person who may have just have been polite and asked. I love listening to others when they are passionate about something and only hope that when someone asks me to discuss my opinions on beer they understand that they are about to lose an hour of their life listening to me and my philosophy on beer, friendship and well...the philosophy that I see in life's interactions and how alcohol plays a part.
