The louder you are, the more heard you are - at least in these parts -

People are constantly taking over others - about how great life is, how great the kids are and how great their vacations are - I guess it may be just my neck of the woods where you daren't show any vulnerability or lose your place in the pecking order

I digress

I am more of an observer than talker - maybe I sound like this because I don't have much conversational skills lol -
