| I recall, as a child, a girl I didn't know well (from school) sat next to me and commented that I seemed like "someone [she] could talk to". She made strange expressions when she spoke, like she was trying to keep food in her mouth or some such thing. I think I thought that making the same... |

| I'm female, was tested in high school, and have below average spatial ability. In fact, I recall the psychologist telling my mother that this is probably why I have such difficulty with mathematics. I have superior-to-gifted verbal ability, which isn't surprising to me. I don't know if verbal abilit... |

| Personally... I find rambling to be attractive. I'd listen to ya! Lol, methinks you speak too soon. ;) Oh no...and if I ever did NOT want you to talk, then I'd just find other things for your lips to do. :wink: Gross. See? You're short on words already. My work here is done. In all seriousness, do ... |

| Why do you feel the need to stifle yourself? What is it that gets people upset? Your volume? Your ideas? Or merely the quantity of talk? If it's not harming anybody, I just don't like the idea of "stifling" anybody. It reminds me of Archie Bunker saying "stifle yourself" to his ... |

| I do the same thing with a broken off toothpick. I clamp it between my back teeth. Not really to stop talking, but it helps with anxiety to bite down on something. You can easily push it up between your gum and cheek if you have to speak. I've swallowed dozens of them. I imagine I must be like pick... |

| I was only kidding. You took me too seriously. I just meant that you shouldn't let people induce you to put a stone in your mouth. Can't we start over? Well, it would make sense that I wouldn't understand that you were joking. I was recently mocked by coworkers for not understanding sarcasm. I intr... |

Why do people think you're talking too much?
I don't like being talked to in that tone of voice, sir. |

| I have started putting a stone in my mouth to keep from rambling. I get in trouble all the time for talking too much, and I hope this will help. Of course, there is the consideration of someone asking me a question and having to take the rock out to speak, but I'm okay with that. People already thin... |

| I was mocked at work today because I don't understand jokes and sarcasm. They seemed to think the funniest part was that I was too stupid to understand the terrible things they were saying about me. I know it shouldn't matter, but I thought one of the people was my "friend", or rather beco... |
