I have always been told I talk too much. Anyone else?

[~Christina]

I certainly do when all manic-y... I am always telling myself to Shut the hell up out loud. Under most normal circumstances? I think im on the higher range of " average"

But I will ask my husband in the morning and report back, he might tell me I ramble 24/7

Thanks. I run "hypomanic" most times. Then when I am manic, forget about it.

I'm always told I think too much.

But only talk too much (and too fast) when hypomanic/manic

Usually I am pretty quiet (but verbal online!)

I think too much too. And then I blurt it out. EEK

I used to do that a lot too - somehow it is getting better. No idea how???

Thankyou for pointing that out - something is getting better for me! (on the other hand I do not socialise as much at work now that I work alone)

Mostly friends, people on the internet, or people who are unfortunate enough to be around me during mania tell me this. I also have people complain about how loud I talk when I'm manic or amped on energy drinks or coffee lol

In person, I'm usually relatively quiet and reserved unless I'm around people that I know and trust, however.

I am always told I don't talk enough, but I have always been that way. My bipolarness doesn't usually over come my shyness. If anything it may get me to what would be a normal level for most people.

YES!!! The fact that I live alone doesn't help. So when I start talking to someone else I don't shut up!! A few people have told me that I can be extra chatty at times.

I obviously have to know you well to be like that, however..

Yes, I always talk too much to people I'm close with unless I'm depressed. But when I'm manic, it doesn't matter who you are, I talk and talk and talk and.......

I'm a talker unless I'm in a downward spiral. Then don't look at me or I turn into a crier. But most days I even talk to myself, and as a few of you have said already - during a manic episode - no one is safe! Growing up the phrase was "You talk just to hear your own voice" and I think sometimes it is true!

[ozzy1313]

nope. never

[faerie_moon_x]

Yes. My mom used to say "She can talk the ears off a brass monkey."

As an adult when I'm more manic I talk way too much. I can even see it people's faces. I have one friend who will just start talking over me because she knows I'm not going to stop. She doesn't do it maliciously... but... yeah... I get horrible pressured speech. I even talk to myself.

When I was young, I talked everyone's ear off. I was widely known as a chatter box. I was rather annoying, I think. As I've gotten older, I have mellowed out and learned to listen much more. However, when I am manic, I get such pressured speech that I also even talk to myself. I cannot control my thoughts, every thought just seems to spill out of my mouth.

I had to learn - and am still learning - not to give too much personal information too soon to people I meet. So yes, I talk too much. I'm in my 50s, and this has been a lifetime problem for me.

Well. Glad we are in agreement. lol

I am extraverted as well so it is a bad combo!

When I'm hypo/manic I talk too much, too fast, too loud. It's been pointed out to me Sometimes I'll catch myself because I stop breathing and have to gulp for air!

[BipolaRNurse]

I'm pretty normal when stable, but toss in some hypo/mania and I never shut up. Yap, yap, yap! I get pressured speech, wild ideas and I'm much louder than usual. It drives my family and friends nuts when I get like that.

When I am in low mood I am pretty quite however come a hypo or manic mood and I become the next Larry King lol. I just ramble on and on about nothing particular but everything that comes to mind.

I have ALWAYS been told I talk a lot and fast. Even as a young child. Makes me wonder how long I've had BP tendencies that we (meaning me and my family) missed...

I'm the same exact way. Ppl will actually tell me to be quiet or ask why I'm so loud. And I'll think up something that needs to be said NOW, so I interrupt ppl. It's so bad
