I talk too much!!!

Skyline21 · 04-02-2007, 01:04 PM

So my mates always say that I talk WAY too much for my own good. Anyway one of my friends was at a party recently and some lad said to him "I know ur mate, he NEVER shuts up"!!!

Im startin to get apranoid now, I usen't to care cos Im outgoin n just said fuck it but now Im not sure!!!

Not exactly thread material but i gotta talk, I cant help it!!!!!

No in all seriousness though, has anyone ever tried to correct a character flaw which is in their nature, to me it seems like it would be difficult to stop doin somthing which comes naturally????

How old are you? I was like that during my teens but I have somewhat mellowed

But if someone tells me to STFU I always end up talking more just to annoy them more

Yes, don't compound it by making threads about it.

I have the opposite problem. I'm trying to reframe it as some Clint Eastwood badassness. haha.

Are you suffering from ADD? JJ. Overly talkative people tend to mainly annoy crusty people so don't sweat it fella.Oh and by the way.......STFU.

me and my friend just don't ever shut up we just talk all the time .. we smoke loads and loads of weed to calm us down because we're both like very buzzy people if you know what i mean , boredom and silence is not an option for us ...

Anyway smoking loads of weed calms us down and makes us quiter but we'll still talk way more than a cokehead anyway , it's just who you are ... but It's not that it bothers me if there's silence but if you're with your friends and at parties who the fuck wants to be quiet .

Do you actually talk to fill the awkward silences or do you talk and talk even when you don't actually have anything to say?

I worked with a guy who just never shut up from the moment he came in, talking about every meaningless detail of his life. Never say anything about the rest of us, just constantly prattled on about himself and what he'd been up to. He pissed everyone off even though he was actually a nice guy

I think, when you're talking to someone, you should ask questions and show an interest in their responses then they're filling the silences that you find awkward and you don't come accross as overbearing

Think about the conversation as you're having it and sum up whether its fairly equal traffic in who's doing the talking. If one person just talks without even wanting a response it seems less relaxed and more like a lecture. It's boring

don't just wait for your time to talk
