Personality clashes with in laws

I’m having trouble adapting to my wife’s family. My family is more reserved and only talk about topics that matter, while hers just keeps talking non stop about every small little issues. She also expects me to be the same and care about the topics in discussion. Sometimes they just talk so loudly over each other that I feel like I’m draining out. Can someone advise how I should handle this?

Just be yourself, we don't grow up in their family, they shouldn't expect you to be just like them. Of course you have to try, at least a little. Otherwise tongues will wag.
