i tend to be a bit of a yapper, very loud (theres an interesting reverse-masking thing going on there, which if anyones interested, lmk and ill explain) and tend to be quite rude.
really inside, im a quiet person, but i tend to impulsively speak and be loud, and say things i dont really want to say, e.g. being rude.
these are things i really want to deal with. when i talk less, and be quieter like i am inside, i tend to be much happier. does anyone have any tips?
Assessing the value of a statement before you say it helps you make significantly better impressions. Other people do this too, they just don’t have the same impulse on the time scale they’re allowed to think about it. Fundamentally you just have to force yourself to do it and then observe the benefits in your social life.
Yapping is a good trait if the value of what you’re saying is appreciated and if you’re showing that you’re still engaged with the entirety of others’ statements.
