Re: Talking in the third person

I talk in second person. So, instead of saying

"I felt really angry when my boss just completely ignored me,"

I say,

"You feel really angry when your boss just completely ignores you."

It's like I'm telling people some universal way to react to situations when I'm really just describing how I reacted to them. I have no clue why I do this, but I notice it and I can't stop it. It's only when I talk, not when I write.
