How do I stop being too opinionated

Question

I don't offend people with what I say (well I hope I don't offend people) I just give my point a bit too often. I feel I talk too much as well.

Answer 1

Try listening as well as talking. Opinionated is just another word for idiot. If you're unwilling to hear other people's views and accept that they're right sometimes, you never develop as an individual.

Answer 2

Shuuuush then

Answer 3

Same- I do that and I cant help it

Answer 4

Uh - try listening? I don't know what you want us to say, you've pinpointed your own problems already.

Answer 5

SHUT YOUR MOUTH..

IVE FOUND THAT WHEN Y OUR MOUTH IS SHUT... WORDS DONT COME OUT....  

Answer 6

I have the same problem. Try to use some brakes: before saying anything, think for a second and wait. Let people finish what they're saying and just because they stopped talking doesn't mean you have to interfere, let them continue. Sometimes, they're about to say what you were gonna interrupt them for.

Then, when they ask for your opinion (and they will), go ahead and rant a speech :)

Answer 7

I have the same problem, you don't even realise you're doing it half the time.

Listening fully before commenting means biting your tongue until the other person has finished, even if what they are continuing to say has no relevance to your answer, you need to let them finish first.

When giving your opinion, state so, say what you have to say and add that you know it's only your opinion and others may have different views.

Answer 8

well,in my opinion,nothing's wrong about it..

it depends on the people if they easily get offended or something..

listen to them,so that you too could understand..
