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?

    Maybe talk to a couple of people you have an established relationship with that you trust. Explain the behavior in yourself that you want to change and establish a sign they can give when they think you are doing that behavior. Something simple like just holding up a hand in an indication of “stop” as one idea. The goal being that this will help you be aware of when you act this way and you can reflect on why you are doing it in that moment.

    This whole idea is based on the premise that things you are aware of you can influence/control. If this doesn’t feel like the right path for you, no worries.
