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?

    I know several people who take ADHD meds, and they help a lot. I don’t know what to say if you aren’t old enough to make that decision. Maybe convince your mother that your symptoms are causing you problems. Good luck, friend.

        Meditation/mindfulness may assist you.

        Mindfulness is the practice of paying full, non-judgmental attention to the present moment—your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and surroundings—to cultivate awareness and reduce stress. It’s a skill developed through techniques like meditation (body scans, breathing focus) that helps you respond less reactively to life, improving focus, emotional regulation, and overall well-being, with benefits for anxiety, pain, and stress, but it’s not about eliminating negative feelings.

        Here is one of many mindfulness meditation videos on YouTube.
