How to stop talking completely?!?
I've tried but I usually talk afterwords. That just frustrates me. And when I usually talk to people they half-listen or ignore what I say. But when I cease speaking.... They start getting annoyed. ?! But this time I've had it. I really don't see why I speak when I'm not even getting heard. Its like, "why bother", "what's the point?!". I literally say that everyday. Even my siblings don't listen. (Blessed to have them though) Do I have a problem or something?! So how would I train myself to shut my mouth completely? But answer to essential questions and stuff.? Thank you! No negativity. Not really necessary.... I'm not surprised if there is.
Should I completely stop talking to him?
recently ive been in contact againa with guy i met in australia. he texts me all the time and he sometimes emails me. and stuff like that . problem is.....i still like him and..i think he likes me well he said he did . we live on opposite sides of canada...and we had a talk the other night and he said that realistically we cant work via text. that must mean hes not that interested. i never answered him except said ok. then we didnt talk for a week..and he sends me a text and i said i thought things were over?? and he responds..i never said that..and that he has a webcam. i think hes really playing games with my emotions and im wondering if i should just call things with him off..and ignore him if he tries to text me. cuz i always miss him, but i have NO idea what hes doing back home.im getting fed up and think that i shoudl tjust talk to him here and there, but i should stop answering his texts, cuz im always being let down....not sure what to do..can anyone give me advice??? i guess all that kinda meant he wasnt really very into me anyhow. but i dont know if i can believe it.i texted him one day and he responded,"im not playing games". should i just stop answering him all together?
You're given $10,000,000 but you'll have to stop talking completely for 10 years. What would you do?

What does he mean by "I don't wanna stop talking completely, but I need time and space to think"?
Me and the guy I have been dating for 3 months now have been perfect. Of course, we had minor bicker fights every now and then, but nothing major at all. Yesterday, like out of NOWHERE, we had this conversation: Him: Idk how to say this, but I'm going to be completely honest. I think we are two different people and it's not gonna work, I'm sorry Kris. Me: Why? How could you just randomly send me this? Him: I just need some time and space to think. Please respect that. Me: How could this happen out of nowhere? If you are truly mad about something, let's talk it over! We're a great couple. Him: The first few months I had really strong feelings for you, this past month I've been losing feelings. I sorry. Me: Why would you tell me now? You don't care at all about my feelings, and you don't care that you just really hurt me. Why can't we work it out? I know I want to! You know i like you so much, and you treat me so good. I know we have dumb pointless fights sometimes, but it's nothing to break up over. Him: I know you do. Kris, I just need some time and space to think. I don't wanna completely stop talking to you though. But texting me a bunch of long messages isn't helping. I never wrote after that. I just have a few questions: 1. Why did he go from saying we're different people and done, to he needs space and time? 2. This past month he says he's lost feelings, but this past month has been the best of them all for us? He is not a player. He's 22, and only has had two girlfriends for like a month or two each. He has never had sex, him and I didn't want to until we were a few YEARS in or even engaged. So he's not a bad guy who just wanted to use me. I don't get this at all, he has not contacted me and I want to give him space so I won't contact him. I just have a feeling it's all gonnna be fine and he's gonna come back, but I don't know....All he did was tell me how smart, beautiful, sexy, sweet, and perfect I am. And it all seemed sincere, I never questione
Should I just stop talking completely? It seems like everything I say comes out wrong?
That's exactly how I felt for almost my whole life. I just felt like being a loner and thought that what's the point in hanging out with friends if I can't talk about anything without sounding stupid? I did hang out with groups from time to time but thought that it was pointless and a waste of time since I'm almost silent most of the time. Fast-forward 2 years and here I am, no friends but couldn't be happier. Because I have my family who are my friends. Who needs friends anyway? Just because TV Shows brainwashed us into thinking we HAVE to have friends does that means that's true? Certainly not!
I stopped talking to people almost completely for 5 years, how can I learn to socialise again?
The first step would seem to be to have several long talks with a mental health professional to discover why you thought that this was a mentally sound thing to do. If you cannot (or will not) do this then you should probably carefully consider what it is you want out of life.I won’t even speculate on why you did this or how this was even possible, but it sounds as if you need to undergo some serious counseling to prevent it from occurring again. This was not normal human behavior and it could have resulted in your being involuntarily incarcerated in a mental institution (even for a short period of time) if a relative or a concerned friend found your actions to be not those of a rational adult.I would schedule an appointment with a mental health professional and I would suggest discussing your five year communications gap with them before you attempt to engage with others.Good luck.
What makes a person decide to completely stop talking for months at a time (for people who have psychological disorders)?
From a psychological perspective, this seems like something called Selective Mutism (SM). It alone is classed as an anxiety disorder, but can also be a symptom of other mental illnesses. It occurs when an individual who is normally capable of speech cannot speak in certain situations or to certain people. (It usually coexists with shyness or social anxiety). People with selective mutism stay silent even when the consequences of their silence include shame, social ostracism or even punishment. It is not very common either, a psychological study I studied in class showed that it has effected 0.8% of people.If you care to elaborate a little more in the comments, I would be happy to provide additional information after learning the details.Hope this helps!
Should I stop talking to this girl?
We've known each other for 2 years now. I told her how I felt about her and sadly I'm friendzoned. I'm literally the only one to start any conversations with her. If she's with her friends and I'm with her, she'll completely ignore me. She flirts with guys in front of me. She makes excuses to be around her friends but then gives some excuse to why we can't hang out. Whenever someone asks us of we're dating, she'll make a big scene and say really loud "EWWW!!! NO GROSS!!! He is ugly and stupid! He likes me so that's why he follows me everywhere! I never tell him to follow me and he would do it anyways!" Later after she says it, she tells me how much of a good friend I am. She would be talking to me one minute and then she'll leave to go talk to her friends and forget I was even there so I would always just end up leaving. Whenever I try to avoid her and forget about her, she always tries to get my attention at school and everything. I stop talking to her and she cries and asks why I am avoiding her. She says she wants to stay friends but all she ever does is hurt me. I hate seeing her because then I always feel bad because of the way she looks at me. Should I keep talking to her? When I avoid her, she's all nice and tells me how much she cares about me but then when I'm with her, she talks **** about me like I'm not standing right there. She uses the excuse that it's easy for her to forget whats really important in her life but I think that's all bullshit.
What should I do? Tell him we should stop talking or just leave and completely stop contacting him?
I have been talking to this guy for about 3 months now. I am not sure what is going on right now though. He used to text me first everyday but now I text him first everyday. He used to never leave me hanging but now he always leaves me hanging. *small issue* but he used to never snapchat me but now I have realized that he has been snapchatting this girl. All I know is that she is his friend...since like forever. She also dated his childhood friend but the two broke up about 5-6 months ago. He told me he is going through a lot right now but I am not sure if that's the real case. I mean he just told me on Monday that he misses me and that sex isn't just what he wants and that he wants more but idk. I have been trying to cheer him up for the past few days but it didnt work so he just stopped replying to me completely. I still continued to send him cute little messages and pictures to cheer him up every morning/night. I asked to hang out with him so he'd get some time away and maybe it'd be relaxing for him but he never replied to me. I just stopped texting him yesterday. I am just not sure. It kind of seem skeptical to me. This is exactly what happened in my last relationship. The guy told me he's just going through a lot then next thing I know, he's dating someone. I have a feeling this is what is going on with G. What should I do? Let him know right now that we should stop talkin because I really dont wanna go through the same exact thing again and just end up getting hurt? Or just stop contacting him completely? The thing that makes it so complicating is that he and I are not dating officially. but we are more than friends and have been talking seriously for the past few months. I really don't know what to do. Help please?
