I talk too much

i talk too much, I shout when I'm talking most of the time and i can't control it. I'm not deaf, I've had a test done and have the hearing of a 10 year old. I never used to be like this and it gets me down. My friends and family either tell me to stop talking or shouting. I get so sick of every one commenting on it, I know I do it and wish I knew how to stop it. I told my Dr and he just started laughing.

that made me smile,
the bit about your Dr Laughing!

There is a possibility you maybe trying to converse with ppl that dont have time to have an intelligent conversation of course.
That can be infuriating to say the least.

Wanting to be heard is something thats usually associated with needing attention.What is it you want from relating to others,what kind of people are you approaching and for what reason?
Getting our needs met is Number 1 for #1.

Mostly,
we should be providing enough stimulous in our lives from going about our work (or play) to build us up, so that we never need anothers energy, like a child needs its parents.

Where were you at Ten Years of Age?
What happened about that time?
You may of stopped growing-emotionally at that point in Life
due to an accident,
a difficult occurance in your Family,
a scare perhaps.

Any re-occurring Dreams?

Im still smiling!

Me Im the same. When Im really happy I talk heaps and I talk really loud because I come from a big loud family. Also Im short so I find I have to speak louder if I want to be heard.

I also hate it when people tell me to be quiter or stop talking so much because I only really do it when Im happy and that really gets me down. I dont know how to stop it either but I know exactly how you feel

Yip another loud mouth signing in here!

I get told to "lower my voice" ALL the time! Which is funny cos i always thought i was a quiet person!! But im the same as haley it saddens me when my friends or my partner tell me im talking too loud, i guess i get excited easily and feel what i have to say is important and if i dont get it out now then i never will!

I also get told i talk too much and hardly ever listen properly to others! (OMG who actually admits that!!) My doctor when i was young always thought it was part of my add *shrugs* i dont know.

Cant stop doing it, cant stiop getting hurt every time someone calls me on it!

Sometimes we just wanna talk right? so lets talk loud or mumbling its just expressing ourselves right?

yip!
Me too,and Ive also learned
from these painfull experiences of BEING SHOUTED DOWN
that life can still be experienced
in such openess you each exhibit!

Try other ways of Being about these folk who cannot handle the energy of openess.
If you ask them,
they may tell you that you push their control button!
Some folk are in gradual degrees of such openess
(some are no-where near it)
but we can all learn by observation of these great interactions
as well as STAY FREE
the way you were borned!
