Are These Signs of Immaturity?

I went to an agility trial last weekend and I just had a couple of thoughts.
First one is… I can be very child like when I want someone to watch me, or know what I’m doing, or see the pictures of the necklace that I bought. I think children do this a lot.. and I wonder if, the more people do it as adults, the bigger the sign of immaturity it is? I think, sometimes, I do it too much.
And on a further note, I think it’s interesting when people talk and talk about themselves and hardly listen to other people. I think this, too, might be a sign of immaturity. Or maybe insecurity? People don’t know how to listen, or can’t sit in silence, and so just chatter on about any old thing?
Personally I like sitting in silence to a degree. And I like it when people don’t chatter on continuously. It rather bothers me. But I listen, because I’m am much better listener than I am talker, anyway. 
Here on my blog, though, I chatter on, just about myself, on and on… and it’s the way I am able to satisfy this part of myself. LOL

May _I_ speak now? Ok listen. … eh just kidding.
I mean that people who talk and talk and doesn’t let anyone else talk lack social antennas. And when they let people finally talk they don’t listen but prepares in their head what they are going to say next.
I think this is deeper than immaturity or insecurity. I think such person grew out of that and is on a higher level. I mean, they think they are on a higher level than other people and act like it.
The worst th.. no, now I am talking ok? Wait ok? Thanks. (I have started to say this to grown ups like I tell children, the grown ups get embarrassed but I love it)
As _I_ were saying – The worst thing I know, is people at lunch who talk and talk and talk even with food in their mouth. They have talked all the time and yet they are finished eating before everyone else!
I have a problem there, because I was raised to not eat while I listen to people who talk. Can you imagine?
I tell people with no social antennas that I don’t like them and I explain why. Some of them come back later and apologize for behaving like they did but some never talk to me again. Its my akismet-people-filter.

First, I have to say I totally love the above comment ! ! What a hoot. But really, thats what Blogs are about, talking about ourselves. Well, thats what I think anyways!
As we get older tho, my opinion here, I tend to do childish things as well. I’d sure look like I was nutso if I didnt have a kid, cuz I love going to those Aquarium places where you can touch the fish! So Fun !
