Why You Talk Too Much When Nervous (And How To Stop)
Do you talk nonstop the moment silence appears? You're not alone. Research shows that 82% of people babble when anxious, especially in interviews, meetings, and first-time conversations.
In this video, @speakupwithjane breaks down why anxiety, control, and poor listening habits trigger over-talking, and how to take back control of your voice. You'll learn simple mindset resets, grounding statements, and practical techniques to stop filling the air with unnecessary chatter.
This episode also explains how shifting from "I must be interesting" to "I am interested" changes the entire dynamic of your communication. Jane walks through real-world examples, relationship-building insights, and soft-skills habits you can start practicing immediately.
If babbling drains your energy or damages your presence, this is the video you need to watch today.
