How do I talk less without looking like I'm so full of myself?

I need a break from talking. People say they are tired of the things I talk about so I think it's best that I keep to myself. Please help

Read books.

@curiosi Good idea. I should go back to reading books. Hopefully it'll work

@karysma Makes you knowledgeable so you have something to talk about.

karysma · 31-35, F

@curiosi They'd still be uninterested in what I have to say. They don't read books

You don't need to keep to yourself. Simply consider the comment and use it as self help. Perhaps you need to give others a chance to speak more or keep on the subject at hand.
Interacting with other people is an art and the only way to be good at is to continue and learn.

@CM440 Talking to people can sometimes be hard. I think I prefer talking less. I need that in my life

That would make me talk even more. And I'd be spewing bullshit about topics I didnt know anything about just to irritate them.

@SW-User I think if I wasn't in my feelings I'd have done just that but I was on the edge and must have came too strong for them to end up saying that

Find people who care enough to listen

@SW-User Guess it's time to go back to church

Why not take a break from the people that you are talking to??? Obviously, these are toxic people and you don't need them in your life...

@HootyTheNightOwl It's family and since I still live at home I'd have to maybe go away for a few days and let them miss me

You should talk as much as you want!

karysma · 31-35, F

@walabby But it causes trouble. I want to talk less now and make it a habit just to be on the safe side

walabby · 61-69, M

@karysma As long as you are happy with that... :)

karysma · 31-35, F

@walabby Hopefully I will be happy with that...🤗

SW-User

That's mean they say that to you!

karysma · 31-35, F

@SW-User sometimes people need to hear you talk less to appreciate what you have to say

SW-User

@karysma true!

Dont listen to them

karysma · 31-35, F

@MURD3RM0NK3Y I can't force them to listen to me

MURD3RM0NK3Y · 26-30, M

@karysma I know I'm just saying don't let them into your life then if they aren't making you happy just move on

karysma · 31-35, F

@MURD3RM0NK3Y It's not that they're making me unhappy. They're just not interested in what I'm interested in. And besides they're family, can't exactly get rid of them
