My big mouth

Today we had a meeting and I could hear myself talk and kept saying, be quiet, but I physically couldn't.

It's not that I said anything wrong, but I just ask too many questions, give my experiences too much. Sometimes I wish I could just be one of those people that sits back and is quiet.

But, I think its impossible Stick out tongue

Re: My big mouth

  • I have this exact same problem. A month ago we had a meeting at work and 3 times I caught myself talking over someone else who was speaking because I felt that it was just so vital for me to share my similar experience or ask a relevant question. My managers thanked me afterward for being so involved but I kept getting dirty looks from my coworkers. Oh well...
  • Egads, if I had a nickel for every time I reviewed a conversation and thought "now did I dominate that conversation? Did I ask enough questions about the other person?"....

    You are not alone!
