Impulsive??

I’m in Year 10 at the moment. My friends told me that I am impulsive in the way I act and speak. I feel bad about myself right now- I feel like I should correct it, but lately I’ve been trying to correct so many parts of myself I feel overwhelmed and that anything I ever do is never enough. Any advice about how not to be impulsive or what I just said? Appreciate it.

hi and welcome to BB

one tip i can suggest is think before you speak. give yourself to think about what that person is said. Stop, think then speak. ask yourself if what you want to say is relevant to the conversation.

as for acting do the same thing. before you decide to act on whatever it is, stop, think about what your doing, ask yourself if that is really what you want to do or even just pass on that act until your more rationally thinking.

you might like to write STOP on your hand and when in conversation look at your hand to remind youself to stop, think about what your saying then speak
