I tend to talk a lot and also tell people to much info especially in a work environment, how can I stop??
It tends to get me in major trouble in the sense that people pretend to be listening and sympathetic and that they would never tell anyone but in every job I have had I find they end up telling executive management that I am saying this and that.

- Don't gossip or say things that could get you into trouble. Try to think about what comes out of your mouth first. Ask yourself, "Will this get me in trouble?" "Would I want other people to know?" Word can spread fast in the office place. So, if it's serious business that you don't want to spread, then don't tell anyone - especially if you only see these people at work. You have to get a good idea of who to trust and who not to share personal information with.
- Don't talk so much. "It is better to say nothing and be though a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"
- Ok, so you're either gossiping, which is different than managing your emotions (from your previous questions), or you're openly expressing your frustration or venting. You probably need to find people to talk to about your frustrations other than co-workers. Word ALWAYS get around in an office. Use some self control. Tell yourself that you don't have to get it off your chest in that very moment. You can vent to your best friend after work or your therapist, or you can write in a journal. There's a time and a place for everything, including feelings. The workplace usually isn't that place.
- dont start the whole friend bit from day one, start as you mean to go on, keep business and pleasure seperate, if you feel the need to slag someone off call a friend in your lunch hour.xx
- I know that's something extremely hard to fix. But if you really want to stop this nasty habit, get yourself an I-pod with good music or lectures that you can download from your computer and set the ear-phones on. You will not only get rid of the habit but also either enjoy music or instruct yourself through lectures.
- Your problem is your a very sincere person.. And when you speak with anyone, you honestly speak your mind.. Its good to be honest,,however, the majority of people will listen to what you say ,and if they can advance themselves by using what you say in a social setting or an employment setting,,to make themselves look better in the environment your conversing in,, they will.. Which doesn't make you look good,, just them!! Try remembering this whenever your speaking with anyone,,IS what I am saying to this person,,if people about which I'm speaking,,were to hear what I'm saying, would they or I feel uncomfortable !! If the answer to that question is a resounding YES!! You must not say it !!Period !! No exceptions !! The person your talking to today,,may not be your friend tomorrow !! Get it ?? Simply put!! The only thing people can USE against YOU ,,is What YOU GIVE THEM !! Just that easy.. Good Luck !! SOLOMON
- Before you start venting to a coworker, ask yourself, "Is this a good idea?" and, "Do I really need to tell this person - how will it help me?" Find safer people to vent to. The sympathetic-looking coworkers are easily milking more information out of you by being good listeners.
