i tend to be a bit of a yapper, very loud (theres an interesting reverse-masking thing going on there, which if anyones interested, lmk and ill explain) and tend to be quite rude.

really inside, im a quiet person, but i tend to impulsively speak and be loud, and say things i dont really want to say, e.g. being rude.

these are things i really want to deal with. when i talk less, and be quieter like i am inside, i tend to be much happier. does anyone have any tips?

      pre covid, i was a (very young, just at a local kids stage school) theatre kid. i was naturally loud and yappy, quite stereotypical really. over covid, butmainly after around 2023-2024 has been an extremely big point for the development of my personality

      now, i was used to people seeing this loud and frankly annoying version of me, and i was used to being it, so i end up reverse-masking bif thatmakes sense because people can be very judgemental to me of any change (and my family wonders why i dont tell them about things lol)

      so habitually, i continue to be loud and annoying
