How do I learn to stop talking?

thats a good habit.

Well since you asked, it’s possibly becoming a problem for ya. Some folks talk excessively because they are nervous and just say everything they think as soon as they think it (habit) others have certain mental disorders. A guy at my work never shuts up, interupts people and changes the subject constantly, I can’t stand it. My advice to you on learning to manage your talking is to start listening more, thinking before you speak (it only takes a second or two) be interested in what others are saying & they’ll listen to you when it’s your turn. Balance!!

I have the same problem (thanks to my family who seems to have the same thing) what i do is have a conversation in my head and try to ask things about the other person and not to talk about me as much to make a conversation

well i mean its not hard to shut up. i mean just dont talk i mean your not gonna die, i mean it really isnt a habit because everybody talks i mean same thing with biting your nails it is hard but dont do it that simple. i mean if you think your gonna talk put a rubber band on your wrist and when you wanna talk smack your wrist with the rubber band i guess that would help. or just stuff your face with food all that time then you wont talk. but just try not to talk.

It’s better to be open and social than quiet and shy.

just think of it as a game. pretend that if u talk soem thing bad will happend. and that should do it!
