Is it possible to become more quiet naturally? I never shut

Wow your like the opposite of me. I just hate conversing with people unless it's critical.

But anyways, I'd probably suggest droning out or something. Treat life like a movie and your in it. People aren't talking nonstop in movies. I don't know I'm giving bad advice right now.

Then what can I do?

I don't even know anything about any other subject anybody else cares about and I'm passionately uninterested in finding out.

No idea, dude.

My best friend of 20+ years and my mom both never shut up.

I've gotten used to it. It used to bother me, but doesn't anymore. I just know now that some people need more time to talk and process things verbally, so I schedule it in, for them.

Some people are just chatterboxes. One thing you can do, is if you have a more quiet/introverted partner or friend, allow that person to "zone out" every once in awhile when being your sounding board, if the the topic isn't important. Recognize that it may be too much for them to give you their full attention all the time.

Don't be self-centered.

Pause every once in awhile to ask other people questions - and then listen.


If you are practicing listening, you aren't talking.

Then how do I shut up?

Nobody else ever talks about anything interesting.

Like I said, ask questions, and then wait to hear their answers.

But I don't CARE about gossip about people I don't know.

Then find new friends and social contacts, asshat.

Why would you spend time with people you don't respect or like? And why would you care about wasting their time by talking too much?

Go find human beings who actually share interests with you.

Anybody can do that. Go to a meetup group, join a hobbyists club. Then practice your social skills in a more stimulating environment.

Read !

Pick something that is mind fuck, it will make lots of questions and wondering in your mind, hopefully that will stop you from talking,
especially when you finish a novel and feel like you wanna sometime like just thinking, no talk.
i suggest:
- alchemist paulo coelho
- one hundred years of solitude.

If reading is harfd.. try movies
Like: Inception
It is a mind fuck movie.
Start with Leonardo DiCaprio's movies

I've tried reading the latter, didn't quite fit in my head as I'm bad with names and the plot wasn't particularly riveting.

The only Coelho I've read was the witch of portobello and it was so bad it's put me off on even trying anything else from him.

Because I do a three-shift work in a town with no university. Where do I find people interested in mundane history and those sketchy spots where philosophy and psychology meet?

You sound like an insufferable ass.

Try starting a meetup thread on /lit/

There's fuck-all nobody from /lit/ within a day's travel by car.
