Let's see: why would you want to give away everything about yourself to everyone you meet? Because by talking too much that is exactly what you are doing. Don't you already know who you are by now? Now, if you learn to listen to the people you meet, you will be much more respected by them and you will also learn about who they are at the same time. Make an effort to shut up, when all you can think of is talk. After a few times, it will get easier. I promise.

I used to talk way too much also, I used to speak before thinking as well. I join the Air Force and grew up. I learned that those that speak less usually tend to be smarter, at least appear that way. It's just a matter of learning how. It would probably make it easier to have someone to help you along, when you start to ramble maybe give you a prod and if not, just learn to let others do all the talking. Even if you're not a Christian, this Bible verse is a good one to follow...
James 1:19
19 "My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry..."

a concious effort has helped me some, but you might want to look into Attention Defecit disorder. Many adults are being diagnosed now through meetings with their children's teachers at school. the kids get in trouble for acting up, they get referred and end up diagnosed with ADD. The adults say the kids are going through the same thing the parent did. Back in our day you were just naughty or "hyperactive".
Adderal helps a lot of kids calm down and focus on school and their grades and social relationships can improve a great deal. But its not for everyone, and of course medications have side effects etc. Still, its worth considering, as it can have a dramatic positive effect in some people's lives.
Good luck

I have the opposite problem. People are always giving out saying they find it hard to hear me. Just be aware of your surroundings and use them as a guide. If you're the loudest person in the room, take it down an octave or two.

practice....have a conversations with people. the only thing you can do for a week is ask questions and you have to listen....don't interupt with more questions....wait 'til they finish...
make the question good, too. Don't waste your time on questions you don't want the answer to.
