I am a very quite person, i don't talk much. My head just feels empty like i have nothing to say. But when i don't sleep for a day i become very talkative.
My quiteness creates problems such as lack of freinds and lot of other problems. I am on Cipralex for panic disorder and Zyprexa for auditory hallucination. I am wondering if there are anything that can make me talkative like normal people. Is there such a thing as medication for this condition? |

I don't believe there is a med that will make you more talkative. it is just something you will have to practice at until you are more comfortable. when you are naturally quiet it can be challenging to start talking especially when you suffer from anxiety. the less anxiety you have the easier it will be to talk. observe what you consider a "normal" talker and try to copy what they do. take care.

The problem with a medication that might relax you enough so you feel like talking is that it would also relax you to a point that you don't talk much, even though you wouldn't mind doing so.
Perhaps you could ask your doc about something that would relax you only very slightly. But keep in mind it might not help you. Some people are just naturally quiet, mental illness or not. I too talk more with lack of sleep but it is more of a disjointed rambling than an actual conversation. I find drinking coffee (a stimulant) causes me to have a more natural chat with another person. That is if I've had enough sleep. |

My first long term girlfriend was just the opposite. I often wondered if there was something I could give her to make her not talk so much.
Don't feel that you have to talk all the time just because you think others believe that you should talk more. As the Talking Heads song goes, "When I ain't got nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again?". I think a lot of if comes down to confidence, and the ability to say whatever you want to say without worrying if others will think it interesting or in some way worthy. When you get to this stage, then of course, some people will like what you have to say, some will love it and others you will bore out of the room within a few minutes. But who cares? I don't think that quiet people have fewer thought processes going on inside their heads. They have their own multitude of opinions on any and every subject and have things they are interested in and are capable of talking about. Achieve confidence in yourself and the talk will flow.

I'm similar to you, I'm quite and I don't talk much. I understand that this can make you feel uncomfortable, but I think that we should try to accept ourselves, at least a bit. I noticed that when I am with my dearest friends, with whom I feel comfortable because I know that they love me, I don't feel that I should talk more. Unfortunately this doesn't happen with everybody, only with my very best friends, and not really always, to tell to truth...sometimes I return to think that I should talk more. I think that we both have to accept ourselves more.
However, it's possible to learn to talk more, if you'd feel more comfortable. I agree with kaliope, you could observe people who talk more. Maybe we'll never talk very very much, but this isn't necessarily ![]() Hugs |

Ok, you're a quiet person by nature... So am I. Why is that a bad thing? If you are like me, you are probably a very good listener, and that's a good thing. To me, there is nothing more annoying than people who babble incessantly about mindless crap. Better to be quiet and thoughtful.

The less you say the more people will listen to your words, it's a good thing.
