I talk way too much! How can I stop? Sometimes I talk just to talk and start leaking personal stuff I really shouldn't. I just can't stop =) HELP!!!

WELL DONE!!!
Ask questions instead? You'll find out interesting facts and knowledge about subjects/topics you've always wondered about. That way you'll develop better interpersonal skills and you're on the right route already. Posting this question is a very good start. Bet you didn't realize?

As you probably know, conversation is supposed to be between two (or more) people. If you are hogging the conversation, you need to work hard on your listening skills.
I would take a trip to the library, and check out the self-help section. There should be books regarding conversation skills there.
I really feel for you, as I have gone through periods where I have said too much, as well. Then I feel really badly about doing so. I still need to check myself--really think before I speak...which is not always easy. :)

Take a deep breathe, and think before you say.
That way you can still talk as much as you want and be your unique cool self, but at the same time you know what you are saying so you wouldn't leak out what you don't want to.
Works for me. I'm a chatterbox too and I love it!
:P

Just a thought, but try shutting up. You have 1 mouth and 2 ears for a reason.

I don't understand how you can not stop. It seems obvious. I have just the opposite problem apparently. I don't think much of it, but people are always telling me I'm so quiet. I just don't speak unless I have something of worth to say.

I actually like chatterboxes, I'm not much of a talker so they're always nice to have around. lol

Ask the other: am I talking too much? I really don't know when to stop, sorry.
