2 ears and 1 mouth

I recently tried to go against my inclination of speaking more than listening.
This left me with 2 realisations.
First, people ramble more than you think. And second, please don't let this be true about me - they repeat themselves quite a lot.
Even though it was eye-opening, don't hold your breath or start rambling when I'm around, it was an experiment. On the other hand, if you hold your breath, you can't speak.
Catch 22 again and again.
