Are you good at keeping your mouth shut?

I was really bad at it. I am not much better now, but till a few months back, I would just blast aloud my opinions. This got me into trouble once or twice. But now I realize the consequences of doing so. But still there are times when I just blab my mouth off. It can be irritating to control oneself to the extent that you dont give a single word of opinion.

Hi! During unpleasant situations I recall a famous quote in my mind - "Till we say something, words are our slave, once we have said something, we are slaves of our words". I know if I get carried away by my emotions I may something nasty to the other fellow which could worsen the situation, therefore I try my best to keep my mouth shut.

There are a lot of times I think I should have been quiet, but feel better speaking my part. There are some situations where I do keep quiet, usually for a greater benefit.

Yes, I am very good in keeping my mouth shut. I am not a nagger type of person. I do not want an argument to get worse. I stay calm when pressure comes in a conversation. I give way always because I do not want the two of us to freak out.

yes, I am good at it. I don't like confrontation so I just keep quiet most of the time. Try to be as patient as I can. if after full and 100% encouragement and the person still pessimistic I get tired and keep quiet... thinking (I can just do so much for you.. that's all I can say) If I am offended, i will just keep quiet but when I speak... that's it... no turning back.

hello Dominique i am not at all good at this as if i have seen and heard something i find myself respond to that in discussion or in life also.i have seen that i can manage to not to write or speak externally but internally it is just impossible for me to not to analysis and respond things.Mind seems always in a on mode.Not to react even internally after seeing and hearing something is like next to impossible.

It's hard on my part to just sit in a corner and just keep my mouth shut specially if I know I am right.Yes, there are times that I can control myself not to react but there are times that my mood isn't synchronized with my mouth so yeah I explode ahahahah and when I explode there's no stopping on my part I will say whatever I want to say just to make a person realize he or she has done something wrong.I am not the quiet type to just sit back and just watch what was happening.It's not that I am a blabber mouth but I try to make it a point that when I open my mouth to speak my mind I have the needed reason for doing so.

Hello Dominique this is checkmail and you are almost right we should keep our mouth shut when we fell the situation might get out of control.Me many times used to argue with few peoples on certain issues and had to take some anger from them.Instead now am only listening unless am having some solution to such situations.This type of things only damage relationships and nothing good.

Yes, I do find myself in those kinds of situations sometimes. Whether the situation is with another family member or a close friend. I just don't want to make things with the person any more worse than they would have to be. Like my parents alway tell me when I was younger, sometimes if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.

I try to really not to meddle on things that I should not be worrying about. Of course, I do not want people to think that I am nosy about everything. But if being nosy is something that would save a person'e life, then I should be proud of it.

sometimes i tend to respond to the person. but of course it depends on the issue he or she was raising. it happened to me one time. this friend of mine commented on how i dress. she really sounded like a bully so i fought back. saying to her things like it's no one's business and laugh at her sarcastically. i was proud of myself.

I am to a certain point.. if someone makes me mad over something. Ill blow up to them. But most the time I keep it bottle up inside me.

if i would keep my mouth shut then my friend will not laugh,,,,,,

yes, i normally think twice before i speak because speaking without thinking is a sin

This is interesting but sometimes i'm talkie to my friend.But i can also be quiet person while i don't want to talk.My friends told me that it's really not good and we need to tell the situation whether speak too much.I'm also working on that.

anyone if provoked will react in some way.but it depends on who the person is. if the person's presence or absence wont make a difference in my life, i don't bother. if that person is a close friend or what not, i should say something at least. it really depends, i say you need to assess the situation, think if talking will solve anything or better to keep your mouth shut. it's your take.

Yes and no. Yes if it comes to what people tell me and if that is private to them. I don't feel the need to gossip or tell around. No if it comes to being straight, saying my opinion and what is on my mind. If it comes to that I am an open book.

I think there are sometimes where you need to just walk away but sometimes it is harder then it seems.

Im not very good in keeping my mouth shut! there are a lot of situation in which telling my part of the situation made the whole thing worse! i wil only speak my part if Im not wrong but even if i speak people will accuse me just for speaking i just dont know why. and h0ow much ever i try i just cant keep my mouth shut If Im innocent! aah fate!
