More to myself


Question Posted Thursday November 30 2006, 6:27 pm

I want to be more private, like keeping things to myself. If you read the A-list series I want to have a more private and sophisticated life like Anna's. I blurt out everything and I'm loud and obnoxious. I'm tired of that and I can see everyone else is too but I'm having a hard time not complaining and not telling everyone personal stuff. For example, when my boyfriend and I first started making out, I found sneaky ways to slip it into my friend's and I's conversation so they'd know. I know, I usually can't stand people like that!

How do I get over this "sharing everything" phase? Any tips will be helpful.

So your proud of yourself. they probably get thet. But you don't have to share everything.
keep a diary. that way you can record everything that EVER happens to you and how you feel about it and all and it's secretive. or do something equally as you that no one else knows about. then when you lookback on it you can be all "oh, i remember that" to your friends and "did i ever tell you about [whatever happened]" and they'll want to hear.
or just tell stuff to your very best friend so you get everything you want to out and youstill come off as the mystery girl.
anyways hope that helped.

Hmm...this is a new type of question, I like it. Your actually asking for advice, not opinion.

What might help you is trying to say short sentences instead of regular ones, when you speak. In other words, don't just keep on talking for more than five seconds at a time. If you limit the time you talk, at least that way you are giving yourself less time.

Try to be more of a listener. I'm passive in group conversations, so people don't know too much about me unless I talk to them one on one. If you feel like you still need to tell somebody something, then tell only one or two people...but be straightfoward about it. Say it randomly if you have to.

Now with that, try not to repeat things. If you know you said it before, then don't bother saying something about you again. Yeah I'm not saying you can't talk, just not so much about you. Try saying personal things only if you are asked directly. The things you say in conversation don't always have to be about you, so talk about other things. Hope that helped and good luck.
