Some People Need To Learn To Shut Up!!!

I do need to shut up alot! I cant keep my mouth shut when it comes to certain things. I have an opinion on near enough everything and cannot keep it to myself. I never open my mouth unless people ask for opinions though so if poepke dont want my opinion they shouldnt ask for it!

My mouth has gotten me in trouble plenty of times. i went from being friends with my mother in law to the black sheep in the family. when we were down at my brother in laws visiting he through a tantrum. (he's an adult) he couldn't find his cell phone so instead of using one of the other 5 cell phones that were in the house at the time, he took his hands at the back of the breakfast bar and pushed everything onto the floor. there were cell phones, camera's pictures, sodas etc on the counter. soda go spilled on some pictures i had there and ruined them. food got knocked all over the floor. so after his fit, we all just stand there kind of in shock. his mom starts yelling and she starts cleaning it up instead of making him do it. the kids hurt the noise and came running to see what happened. she screamed at them to get out. that is what put me over the edge. my daughter was only 3 at the time, hurt yelling and came running and then got screamed at. She started crying and ran away. I was so mad i was crying. i flipped. i couldn't believe he could throw a fit like that and then just walk out and leave everyone else to clean up the mess. i spoke my mind about it and got the cold shoulder from his mom the rest of the night and most the ride home. ever since then things haven't been the same between us. I refused to go back down there after that and barry agreed because he had seen some things he didn't like either. well she blamed me and acted like i wasn't letting barry see his brother. people have a hard time with me speaking my mind about stuff.

I'm guilty of doing this as well. And it seems the older that I get, the more I put my foot in my mouth. I have the tendency to speak before I think, which one day might get me into a heap of trouble. I really need to learn to shut up sometimes and keep my thoughts to myself.

MOst of the time I can think before I speak. but, like anyone i have my moments. Usually with my hubby during a disagreement. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often, and I am forgiven.

hmm Thats true.......some people like to talk so much...and sometimes they bore other people....and Personally I've came across such people...I think some of them like to share their opinions thats why they are like that..

happens to me alot..usually when someone asks me what I think..I wish people would be more clear, do they want to know what I think or do that want me to say what they want to hear.? I can't always be sure.

There are times, when I do not know exactly how to shut up. I don't know why, but sometimes, my mouth doesn't always censure what its saying. It occasionally has difficulty turning it's censure on, and such. I don't think that it's always the case, but a lot of the time, this seems to be the case, for some inexplicable reason, which I really haven't figured out yet.

I always use to be a person who never knew when to shut up and more often or not would say something and regret it soon after. But in the last year I have learnt a lot and one of those things is definitely to think before your speak and also before you type. I still say things I regret but these are certainly less often than they use to be.

It is difficult to learn to shut up so instead I learn not to speak up. I tend not to voice out unless there really is an absolute need that others are saying things that are untrue about me. Otherwise, I tend not to speak a word. The fact is if others are saying things that make sense, there is no reason to say something to support them. If on the other hand they are saying nonsense, I will think whether it is really necessary to voice out to correct them because in practice it is teaching them. If I were to teach somebody, I usually ask for a pay.

Katsmeow - My friend, let me tell you that I am the poster girl for someone who needs to shut up..hahah..I am a very frank and honst person. You know, I tell it as it is, no holds barr..But that has gotten me in trouble many times over. I tend to speak, and then think later - haha. Lucky for me, I have friends who understand that I am how I am and they don't try to change me..ofcourse they tell me a few choice words now and again :)

I've found that I've gotten into some really bad habits lately that stem from not thinking before speaking. hehe I've had to go back and make appologies for the things that have come out of my mouth. I always mean things in fun, but when I think about it later I realize I could have hurt someone's feelings. Realizing that I'm doing this has made me much more aware of what I'm saying and when so I'm getting better :-)
