i am a talkative person and i think this habit pushes

people away from me and not so much people can handle it ,every time i try to stop talking too much i feel fake and that this is not me,people also think i’m a boring person when i try not to be talkative i wish i can stop that habit but also be myself at the same time ! it makes me sad sometimes . The guy i like so much say that i am talkative person but this never makes him nervous ( he doesn’t know that i have feeling for him , he treats me like a friend nothing more ) i wish he never saw me as a talkative person but when we talked about it . he said that it is fine and that he knows me pretty well .

What’s wrong with being talkative? As long as you don’t dominate every conversation with everyone you talk to then it shouldn’t be an issue :)

Exact thing happened to me, actually one guy once told me “geez stop talking, youre so annoying!”. So yes, I was also pushing people away until I figured what the problem was and changed my behavior.

You know what the problem with talkative people is? Usually they talk about themselves or their opinions, or have something to say about everything and that is boring to the other person. So I stopped doing that, reminding myself all the time to LISTEN instead of talking. Then, I ask something about what the other person is saying, and of course I also give my opinion but on a normal dose and its been working great for years since I’ve only gaining friends.

I hope you’ll come to feel comfortable with who you are and just be who you are. Being the real you will draw the right people to you and remember you can’t please everyone. I’m a quieter person and I actually like someone who talks bit more than me :) as long as I get to express myself too in the conversation, it’s all good. You know Taoism says that we should just be and that means we forget ourselves (not to examine ourselves) and everything will flow.

Talkative people are annoying because a lot of times they tend to talk, but never seem to listen. They never seem to be having a conversation…which indeed takes more than ONE person talking. Another thing is that they always seem to be talking about the same **** thing. Get a life already!!
