No talk or excessive talk

Post Reply New Topic

Same here. I wish I knew how to talk more but I just don't know what to say. Someone once told me to just say whatever is in my head but there's a lot going in my head that either dwells and goes into great depth about something that was already said or I'm thinking about something inappropriate for conversation. I'm paranoid people will think I'm boring...

I sometimes talk a lot and then suddenly get quiet and creepy.

I barely talk to begin with. Only a small mumbling breaks it apart.

The times when I do talk excessively, I garble my words to the point where it sound like I'm speaking like a mad man.

That sucks; I'm sorry. I had a delay too. I remember it being really frustrating when people got it wrong and I couldn't tell them what I needed. I learned to be really passive and just accept things the way they were.

I talk now, but occasionally go a bit mute. It's always hard to know whether or not I should talk and what I should say. When I get drunk and I'm home alone with my spouse I don't shut up and he laughs at me, but when we're out with friends I only say things occasionally. I have to carefully consider what would be appropriate to say and carefully time when to say it. Probably 90% of the stuff I want to say gets thrown out, so I'm very quiet and people think I'm just really shy.

I still say the wrong thing a lot, but I'm working on it! I talk more with close friends and family. That probably reinforces the idea that I'm shy, but it's really just that I can't speak unless I'm very relaxed, and I know that if I talk too much with people I don't know well, I'll screw things up both by stuttering and by making the wrong choice about what to say. So it's partly a choice.

I talk too much then I get exhausted from doing so. I talk my fiance's ears off all the time, but he is patient with me!

I am always quiet when im around people i dont know. But when im with my family i get goofy and everysince i was a little kid i always made up words that didnt mean anything to anyone else but when i told them the definetion they would laugh so when i am around my family i say alot of my wierd phrases. I never had a delay in talkin that i know of but i was a quiet kid and always felt nervous in school in the 2nd grade when the teacher would call on me and stuff and i didnt know what to say or what the answer was and i just couldnt say nothin at all cus i think a part of me was scared and the other part of me i didnt know the answer. I was diagnosed with social anxiety but when your a child they call it "selective mutism". And again I dont really know if i have aspegers, sometimes i feel like i do but the whole talkin issue could stem from the social anxiety or both..who knows..who cares lol

I tend to not talk with people very much. I talk the most with people I know, especially regarding my interests. With people I don’t have a strong relationship with I rarely have conversations with. I don’t talk to strangers unless it’s necessary.

When I used to get crushes on characters I would talk about them excessively. Now I never tell anyone about my crushes. There's never been any middle ground in that matter
