What I mean is that I have always talked a lot (can't you tell by how much I write? Lol.) I am very verbal...which is okay, sometimes....but sometimes, not so much.
I do feel like I talk so much that I do say too much. I also react first, say something, then wish later that I'd waited before I reacted.
I'm working on being still and quiet...thinking through things before I say them to make sure that they even need to be said.
It's not a ploy....it is truly something that I need to work on for myself.
I was just saying that it's a definite 180 for me. My sister, in a nice way, used to tell me that I talked too much. My H has said that I "overwhelm him with my words," especially when we're in conflict. And, he ends up just blocking me out.
Being less "wordy" in my relationships with others is a positive thing. By weighing my words more carefully, then what I say will actually mean more.
