Stop talking so much — most people don’t care, and you never know what you should say or keep to yourself. You share too much, you say everything you think because you’re desperately craving approval. Just stop talking so much
for all the glorification of “yapping” there is also something to be said for just not speaking. very often your best course of action is to just shut the fuck up. you gotta become okay with the idea of “sitting this one out,” playing your cards close to your chest, moving in silence like lasagna, etc etc loose lips sink ships!!!!
I don’t mean this in a let’s enforce toxic positivity way. And maybe this sounds simple and obvious but I’ve learned from my own experience and observations that it can be off-putting to others to always be complaining, criticizing, or saying negative things! It can really bring the energy down whether it’s in interactions with close friends, significant others, family, coworkers, dates, or strangers and it doesn’t make people feel good. This isn’t to say that you should never have critical thoughts, engage in difficult conversations, or share your heavy emotions with people you trust. but I think this is something people can do without even realizing it’s a pattern for them and it has an effect on your own psyche as well imo… and it feels great to bring a little light into someone’s day 🌦️
