Stressed

Stressed. Unexpected pressure piles on and she is stressed.

Pressure is not from other sources. Pressure is self-inflicted.

It was just a phone call. Granted, an unexpected one. But nonetheless, just a phone call.

Threw her out.

Put pressure on herself.

Stressed her.

So she jabbered on the phone. Talked non-stop for 5 minutes. Went on and on and on and on.

The other person on the line could barely get in 20 words. Lots of Hmmms and ahhhs. Listening silence. Like a machine gun the words tumbled over one another, sentences merged into each other, and the paragraphs were almost non-existent. Topic flowed after another topic with the slightest "provocation".

Then a quick interruption. And finally the phone call ends.

The typical high "I" under pressure and stress talks a lot. Yes. Especially on the phone!
