verbal diarrhea
I have to make a conscious effort every day to keep my thoughts internal. It’s worse when I’m stressed out. I catch myself muttering sometimes and have to physically bite my tongue. I worry that when I’m old I’ll lose my filter and say all of my thoughts out loud.

When you’re old, you won’t care
I agree with Liz. When you’re old, you just realize that either a) everybody else mutters to themselves about how miserable they are, or b) everybody else already notices you do and realize how miserable you are. So, you just go on muttering regardless. In spite of the people staring at you in the street as you are locked in conversation with your own self, being totally neurotic about it. Call it love.
