Do you get told you talk too much

[whatisforteamum]

Ever since I can remember I have been told this.I always have something to say and perhaps coming from a large family of was the only way to be heard.Some people love that I am chatty and friendly while I know men especially seem to remark about it that I rarely shut up.
I do hear others chatter endlessly.
Please tell me I am not alone😁

No never been told that

It must be quite annoying for others if people have felt the need to tell you!

I’ve never been told this, but I’ve just never felt the need for my voice to be constantly heard. But then I get labelled shy.

Don’t think you can win really

Every report card or parent teachers night I was told I talk to much.

Still talk just as much. I'm chatty and outgoing, always have been and always will.

Never had any negative feedback about it as an adult, and in my line of work which involves talking to strangers it comes in handy.

To PP who is obv just being difficult.... If it annoys people they don't need to talk to me lol

I haven't really been told this but I have noticed it about myself and trying very hard to control myself haha! I am also from a large family where we are all like it so maybe there's something in that theory

No...but I’m very quite and have to force myself to chat. I generally like people who talk a lot because it gets me off the hook but not if they only say stupid things-that get annoying (I know a few people like that who spout the same rubbish over and over again).

On thanks.I try to suppress it but end up feeling miserable.I wondered if it is a.MH thing?.I do know that silence feels like an atmosphere to me.

Boogles...me😁 TBH I work 12 hour days some everyone repeats stuff.

Yes, my dad God rest his soul, used to say I had verbal diarrhea. people used to say it at work too.

My MIL would talk incessantly, there was no such thing as a comfortable silence with her. The only time she would shut up was during her soaps. I loved her but it was annoying.

My son uses a thousand words when 3 would do!
Me; “do you want a drink?”
Him: “well do you know I had a drink earlier, that was water, then I read my book, it’s really good, it’s about a man that lives in a cave. Have you read it? Yes please a drink would be great!”
Me:

I wouldn’t worry about it! It’s just who you are! You seem like you’re aware of yourself so I’m sure you can reign it in if necessary sometimes!!

Yes to verbal diorreah😁

Sometimes. I do though. But not when I've lost confidence in a group - then I'm so quiet it's painful.

Not since I was an adult. I keep it in check. I can talk peoples hind legs off but I've learned to keep it in check.

All the time at school, though!

Quite the opposite. I can't bear chatterboxes. Empty vessels, and all

The way you write on here is quite different - a bit scatty and random, do you often feel quite manic?

That sounded bitchy I didn't mean it to be

No, but my DS does and it drives me insane. I tell him to pause before speaking and think what does it add to the conversation- is it worth saying? Otherwise it’s just lots of unnecessary noise

No. Everyone told me to be quiet growing up. Now I barely speak. Wish I knew what to say but when I do speak no one listens.

It's really annoying, especially if you've been told as people usually say nothing so they must be desperate to get you to stop for a bit.
there's a guy at work that doesn't stop, there is sometimes I leave certain things until later when people have gone, if he's still in... Forget it you can't do anything because he spouts his useless shit about whatever or him or his family so you can't do anything.

this is sad 😔

Yes I have had it mentioned in two jobs as a negative
Now I'm happily in a public facing role and my job is to talk to people. Never get told off now. I think it is just a personality thing rather than a MH issue but I may be wrong.

Nope, I have the opposite problem. People think I am rude because I have social anxiety and struggle to talk to random people.

I am manic sometimes yes.I work in a creative fast paced environment so having several things going on is the norm for me.My dsis and niece have bipolar and I have social anxiety
.The other evening when going home I bumped into an elderly lady with dementia of some sort.She seemed happy I chatted to her and listened to her stories
.I often do when I see her.Perhaps it is useful to be able.to chat to everyone and anyone.

Queenio perhaps my parents.should have told me to shut up.Then again in a family of 7 someone is always saying something!

I need to talk to my therapist about why I talk so much
