i can’t help but talk too much all the time. i hate it. i always overshare. i tell unfunny jokes. people would love me more if i just stopped being so loud an annoying. i just want to stop talking forever. the only person who doesn’t tell me i talk too much is my boyfriend and he’s just too nice to tell me.

I’d absolutely love to have a friend like you. Your boyfriend sounds like a lucky person.
Do you have any idea what it’s like to get people to talk?! its a massive pain in the ass. And then it’s always trivial nonsense. Oversharing, telling jokes (even if unfunny)… Being able to talk openly with someone who has a weak filter sounds like a blessing – not a curse.
you’re the first one i encountered that actually thinks that. thanks a lot for your support.
I FEEL THE SAME.
i even sometimes feel guilty for it if the other person not react as much.
alongside with talking too much, i sometimes express myself in ways deemed “immature” by my peers like randomly jumping and twirling from a sprout of happiness or just screaming excitedly over things and to say that their shaming me for expressing myself in such way does not affect me is a big lie. im 21 by now and still sometimes emote myself so.
i should just handle exciting news gracefully, they say. cause it’s “improper” to be explicitly over the moon “like a maniac/autist”.
it just hurts.
yeah, i 100% relate 🙁 and i can’t help it so instead of changing i just distance myself from everyone so they don’t have to deal with me and it makes me feel so lonely
Try for just one day to be silent. People you know will probably panic and freak out.
i actually did that two years ago as a bet, because people kept telling me i needed to shut up. most of them didn’t care and the guy who challenged me to do it told me just said that it was nice to not hear me talk all the time for a day. he’s the brutally honest type, i don’t think he realized it hurt me.
I have like the strangest relationship with this kind of thing…
There are times when I used to talk to my family a lot about some random thing I like a lot or am interested in, and they’ll just tell me I’m talking too much and their not interested in the subject as much as I am, like about some video game or what not, or anything really…
So most of the time, I’m completely mute in the real world, when I was in school and at my job, and it hurts, I know people will just be out to hurt me, and even if their not, they’ll be too different, just like my family…
But I never want to give in, because who I am is just who I am, if I become like something else, I’ll probably have an identity crisis or something… To conform just doesn’t sound very healthy to me…
And heck, nowadays in the past few years though, no one ever pays attention to me anymore…
I used to have friends I was so close to, the both of us would share everything about each other… but that never lasted for some reason, I can’t remember why…
It was the only thing I had to seeing real people in this world, even if it was all online…
I never even made a real life friend and have the both of us visit each other’s houses, not a single one…
As a kid, I used to be super naive and be like, thinking my family loved me and I’d have them forever or something…
Ha, as if… my family are some of the most hurtful people I know…
Anything good they do, I feel like it has some kind of selfish, ulterior motive behind it, like they’ll only help me if it’s either quick and/or they’ll get something out of it, that it’s purely material, and it’s not like they’d ever want to know the real me or even enjoy it.
Sometimes, I just hate the entire world…
To rania, soapandwasser, and bd2342f2, I’d love to talk to you guys if you’re available, if that’s okay…
You guys sound really nice…
