Are You So Garrulous Your Husband Complains?
You're on the way home from a dinner party. You had a marvelous time, but your husband is growling under his breath. "What's the matter, Honey? I know you don't like strawberry pie, but you could have had ice cream." Big sigh. "Can't you ever stop talking when we go out?" "What ever do you mean?" "You talk constantly, monopolize the conversation. No one can get a word in edgewise." "Sure they can. You didn't say anything because you were too busy eating." "Yeah, so was everyone else. Look, Jo, I know you like to talk, but you have to pause once in a while and let someone else speak." "Oh you say that all the time. Nobody else complains." "Yes, they do." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's how to stop being garrulous: Recognize that you are feeling social anxiety; that you talk to feel in control. Before you enter a social scene, do a brief tapping procedure described in "Your Right to Happiness" called EFT for Emotional Freedom Technique. It is a form of psychological acupuncture without needles. You tap lightly on acupressure points while making specific statements about your social anxiety. It works beautifully. He'll never complain again and you will enjoy listening to what others have to say. You can find more about "Your Right to Happiness"
