Okay first thing first! when you are typing in caps you are YELLING! So please don't yell. Second it seams from your question that you have no idea when to be quiet and when to talk. Also it seems to me that you can be a bit annoying.
What to do. Sumerize for a start! If you take the most important facts of what you are trying to say it won't be so abtrusive to your friends.
Sometimes you can't get your point across. Sometimes you just have to listen and not be the person talking on occasions. Now it's one thing to be talking but when you are talking incessantly to the point that no one else can talk than it's them who's being silent and holding THEMSELVES BACK! Being social is knowing when you can talk and when you have to listen and sometimes when you have to be silent and not interrupt. The quote " Better keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open and remove all doubt." What this means if you father hasn't explained it to you is that if you are quiet you seem like you don't have a thought in your head. And when you open it and talk like maybe you are talking now you remove all doubt that you might be a fool and be known as a fool. So what you should do is to keep your talking to a minimum and maybe e-mail what you want to talk about to your friends. That way if they don't want to "listen" to you they could delete your email.
Good luck hope your transformation from a chatty Cathy to a silent Suzie goes well!
** Only one person is backing you up right now! Everyone else thinks you talk too much! If you wanted to add info you should have sumerized it. And trust me on this very few people actually know they have a PROBLEM! I have one friend who flirts with both sexes and has no clue she does it! I have annother friend who plays 600000000 questions everytime he sees the rest of my friends and drives us bonkers! Neither of these people know they do what they do! And even thought we have told them. they still don't belive they do it! Trust me YOU do TALK TOO MUCH! Listen to me because I want to help you. Sumerize what you want to say. Use nouns, verbs, adverbs and all that stuff just leave out the middle man (so to speak.) This has to do with you problem not your friends problems. You asked us to help YOU not your friends. Good luck! Bye.

Taigh, have you ever often mumbled, or is it some thing that all started lately? Do you comprehend you're doing all of it the time, or provided that someone is pointing it out to you? Do you imagine you sound like you're literally not mumbling? i'm asking those questions, so that you'll be able to be sure if there's a medical reason for it. If this isn't some thing new and it doesn't appear as if a medical condition, then try status in the front of the reflect. go contained in the bathroom and close the door in case you pick your privateness. practice saying each little thing from "good day. How are you at present?" to at least some thing more effective complicated, like a question you would possibly want to ask your instructor in college. Watch what your mouth does once you communicate - be sure your pronunciation is real and also you're literally not talking to quickly. be sure you're searching into your face - or the guy's face you're talking to. in case your head is down, then your words are growing lost on your neck and chest section, and it truly is going to appear as if you're mumbling. searching right into someone's face is likewise going to make you come back for the time of as improved and larger confident. If none of this helps, don't be afraid to confer with you father and mom about it. there's a speech therapist who might want to help you get over this. good success!

OK, thanks for the ii's I get for pointing out the obvious. You're talking to much in the process of asking why people think you talk too much, and this question is a joke.

maybe you need to learn how to summarize? and stay focus on your topic?
Stop trying so so hard to prove yourself right? Sometimes it is good to admit your wrong. Not explaining yourself don't kill you. Stop trying so hard.
