I'm a overly talkative, fill-in-the-silences, shares too much person.

My boyfriend loves this, up until conflicts arise. I've been doing very well over the past year. I've come a long way.

However I ramble, I can;'t figure out how to cut myself off aside from literally biting my tongue, which hurts.

Any inner monologue you have while your inner voice is screaming to prevent it from being vocalized?

Any silly count to ten BS? I'll try anything.

I feel like I struggle to get my points across and then when I do I start saying so much that the point gets lost.

I find I talk too much when it involves conflict, serious or negative. Family, friends, co-workers and most importantly, boyfriend.

I tried taking time to myself, walking away to collect my thoughts, but the moment someone is looking at me like "Okay, your turn to speak" I just go on a tangent (not always negative) unintentionally.

This is my least favourite thing about myself and I need/want to change it.
