I noticed this personally...expats who have been here for quite some time (say 2 years or more) they tend to have the disease of talking about nothing but themselves!!!

I am this..I am that..I am blah blah blah...

I just remembered it because the taxi guy this morning didnt stop from talking blah blah blah (Im to blame, I said Good Morning to him).

Anyone have this kind of syndrome in DF?

Yeah but I left Australia with it.

Sorry, but I'm more exciting than you are, you just have to deal with it.

Anyway, enough about you, you'll never guess what happened to me today...

the famous "I am" syndrome

No. But you just did it. Who cares how long you have been here; that you used to mountain climb, and that you talk to the taxi driver!

The best is when you talk to the Taxi driver when you are climbing the mountain

Yesterday when I posted this...I realized the very same thing! and Im so stunned...I cant believe it! If you can read my post again, most of my sentences started with I...

Only been in Dubai for a year, and hope this doesn't happen to me! Egads, that would be horrid, and wouldn't be able to stand myself!!!

Stop talking about yourself.

Of course this could be written as follows;

What's worse is when you suffer from both the "I am" syndrome and "Hiya effect". Oooer... scary!
