The "I's" don't have it

When I first heard the phrase, “His ‘I’s are too close together,” I thought that it was about the eye in the head. I did not think that the person’s eyes were anything but normal distance apart. Then it got explained to me. When we try to impress, and I know this to be a guy thing, we tend to talk about ourselves. We keep saying, “I.” I this and I that. When I reflected, I realized that I have had this as one of my faults. When I speak too much “I” one of two things happen. People change the subject, or they tend to excuse themselves. I talk all about me. I am not into listening or asking about the other person or persons. Seems there are a lot of “I” in this blog. No wonder people don’t read me. But ladies, is this a problem with women too? See, I am asking a question, ready to listen. I can grow. It is not too late.
