learn to keep my mouth shut

Dude, this is like a problem of the mind running non-stop, and a need to interact with the mind socially. For me anyway, I am probably just focused on entertaining myself rather than ??

Or “I want to know what to do about my problems” but can’t ask regular friends.

CAN’T FOCUS! in the moment..

Looking for solutions from others by over-describing the problems goes nowhere.

Possible solution: Get a therapist. Have someone you can talk to openly, regularly, but that keeps things private. Sign a pateint-therapist agreement with them to ensure your PRIVACY.
This is what it is all about, keeping things private.

I know this is a bad quality of mine – that I find silence uncomfortable.. so I talk.

In important situations I remind myself – when I finish my sentence / point…. no need to re-iterate. If someone doesn’t get it – they will ask.

However, other situations when I am not focused on this – I slip back.

Maintain focus…..

i did a bad thing last night and its coming back to haunt me right now. i said something i shouldnt have and well, it got out and now i’m in a lot of trouble with this kid. my friend is mad at me but she knows i said something by mistake. it just kinda slipped. i know i will NEVER live this down. =/

I see now that I have a hard time letting air stand between me and the one with whom I’m conversing. Silence IS louder and puts emphasis of the recent comment -a little time to digest what’s been said. I hope to keep it up.

I made a concerted effort to be quiet while I worked today. . .
I am a massage therapist. Although all of my clients love to “catch up” with me when they see me, I tried mostly to just listen and not to contribute too much myself. I have found that I share just too much of my personal life sometimes.

I’ve known for a while that I should put password protection on my mouth before I use it. (something like “you sure?”). I was so shy as a child and almost never talked outside my family, and now I seem to have swung into a constant cycle of talking, then regretting or worrying about what I said later. Not what I thought I’d be spending my energy on as an adult when I was a kid.

i have learned in 24 hours you can’t tell anyone ANYTHING anymore, me and my boyfriend had a fight and worked it out, i tell my sister about us working it out and guess what, my big mouth a** sister and boyfriend discuss me then boyfriend gets mad cause i told my sister. keep a jornal, preferably on a computer or in a book that stays under lock and key, if i can’t manage to shut up i can’t expect everyone around me to do the same…

I’m doing really well at keeping my mouth shut, but I find I’m diverting my comments/venting to a third party later. I need to just let it go. None of this stuff is all that important anyway.

I seem to find it impossible to keep my mouth shut and it’d distroying my life. I’ve lost my boyfriend because i felt i had to tell him how piss’d he makes me feel. but then i’m not so chatty when all’s going well, so the poor guy only heard the rants.And emails are so quickly sent!!...Then subsequently lost my job as my poor heart bleed, my mood sank to the bastement and everyone just seem to bug me. of course i had to tell whoever got in my way just what i thought, again. When to me once said it’s often nothing but then i can’t take it back. I would really love to hear more on how to stop doing this.

Idealism + too many drinks ≠ a good situation. I’ve had too many conversations that have gotten a bit too heated…or more recently ended in tears. I really need to learn to keep the conversation on a fun topic and only discuss the “big three” when drinks are not involved.
