      Totally! At first I’ll try to be at silent at the firsts hours of the day, when Im usually just by myself but get caught speaking kkk. For you, why don’t you try Wim Hoff method? It has some meditation, breathing and cold stuff

    I'm very quiet at work too, because I feel as if my coworkers are better off without me. Somehow, I mostly stand out. For example, a coworker seems to like everyone else except me: fun, playful sarcasm and joking, pleasant conversation, sneaking up on someone who likes horror movies. When she talks to me, though, she's pretty serious. When she drove me and another coworker to a place we were serving, they chatted; when it was just us two later, she didn't talk to me. Now, I can't remember what I said the first few days we met, but perhaps it was the time I mentioned masks to a new high school worker. Asked him if they had to wear them in school. I told him how they ironically make my nose feel congested when they're supposed to be protecting us from getting sick, but it's not like I was going into depth about the whole anti-mask-during-Covid philosophy; I know it's a sensitive topic, so I was just being brief and casual. She and another coworker were pretty much all, "Okay, John, that's enough. Let's not talk about that." It could've been that, or something before. But otherwise, I don't know what I said or did to make her dislike me or like me less.
    Or how about the time I told another coworker *(whom I didn’t think would resent this, since he’s clownish, snuck up on a guy, and once made a weight joke to him)* “put a sock in your àss. I mean mouth.” He told me I can’t speak to him that way. I didn’t intend harm; he had interrupted a question of mine to another worker to (if I remember correctly) playfully diss me. I guess I was annoyed with the dick-like interruption. When I apologized later, he said, “You’re good, man. You just need to learn how to speak to people." He's popular and social at work, but he acts like _I_ don't exist. Finally, I was once taken to my boss's office with her and a high-ranking chef. The chef told me that I've been touching my coworkers too much. Not _THAT_ type of touch, of course not! Just *_casual_* ones, like on arms or shoulders. I was always very outgoing at work. When I asked her if anyone complained, she said it didn't matter (so I assume yes). She told me that we need the workers to be comfortable in a good work environment, and that I pretty much shouldn't talk about anything other than work and school (I work at a university's catering service). She told me I shouldn't tell my stories because they may be inappropriate to my coworkers. Now yeah, I guess I do occasionally say "inappropriate" stuff at work, but not *_horribly nor intentionally._* I only meant to joke around and have fun. I really didn't get specific information from the chef about what and whom. She likes that I'm outgoing, but she made it sound risky and in need of limits. And again, that I shouldn't touch anyone without consent. But seriously, I'm not a creep. I didn't mean to be so "handsy" (I say loosely). I hate how my unfiltered personality got to _that_ point. I'm starting to wish my crew, especially the chef and the said girl, could witness me get hurt. _That's_ how curious I am about how they feel about me

    Thanks, man. I really need this for my career. I wish I watched this years ago. I feel like a new person now. Haven't had this feeling for a long time. I'm looking forward to the day I'm capable of doing my own challenge of staying silent. maybe I'll start with one day first.

    will we talk to ourselves, and when and why the first word will come out of our mouths.

    I think it is kind of missing the point communication of any kind while doing the vow, so the card thing ... I wouldn't have done that. And if you live with people I would have just have had no verbal interaction of any kind.
