I have the problem of being too chatty. By "too chatty", I mean more chatty than I feel comfortable with, and also sometimes I can see body language cues from the person I'm talking to that I'm taking too much of their time or making them uncomfortable. I talk both to strangers and people I know like this. I talk to my therapist like this (I have asked her to rein me in.)

I live in the southern US, so chatting to people you don't know is normal. (Just for reference.)

I'm just wondering if others who have problems with anxiety do this. I wonder if my medication causes this? I know of one medication that I took in the past that definitely caused this, so it makes sense that others could.

I've become pretty isolated because of depression and lack of transportation and money. Part of me wonders if I just need to talk when I do get around people.

I feel like this behavior is hindering my improving my support network. I don't especially talk about my health a lot - just general chit-chat.

Interested in your opinions and your experiences.
