Lebensraum is an intriguing reality crystallized in this word which literally translates as Living Room, but not in the sense of a living room. Rather it means the “room” a person takes in social situations. It is a derogatory expression referring to those who walk into a room and take over. The vehemence of such a one’s personality crowds others into the margins of the “room.” I “strut my stuff” oblivious to the need others might have to express themselves.

Mea culpa! Excuse? Well, if I don’t talk, we have to sit around in silence. I forget that I might break the silence by asking questions of others so that they can share and shine!

If you know me, or plan to see me in the future, be sure to kick me under the table if I start to do this. Whisper “lebensraum,” and you will shut me up fast.
