At the moment, I currently live in an assisted living apartment with a roommate, whom we do not get along. I want to stop talking so I will not "get into trouble", upset, or offend someone. Problem is, I have talked 24/7 since the day I was born (or so I am told) and my brain is stuck at age 15 (when I obtained my brain injury).

My life is largely controlled by others: my legal guardian, state worker, doctors, etc. I am no good at most things and I do not like people generally. So, I am going to try to stop talking. I have done this in the past and failed quickly because I forget that I don't want to talk.
I'm sorry that you had to experience that. I understand being controlled by a guardian.
