For context, my job involves the use of voice dictation software constantly for 8 hours a day. So I am constantly talking to the computer and thus my threshold to talking to others is significantly reduced.

I also generally enjoy talking as it is in my nature. So I need to combat that.

There is also the caveat that…for politeness and problem solving sake, I still need to be able to respond to questions from others (which is often).

With this in mind, how can I work towards never speaking to anyone unprompted? Does anyone have any specific techniques I can use? I think what I’m really missing is a method. It’s like trying to pain the Mona Lisa without knowing any painting techniques. Thanks.

    I can’t stop ruining everything when I do. Everything I say is wrong in some way or another or bothering someone. I need to exist entirely within myself if that makes sense.
