Teach me how to become non-verbal and stay that way.

Abbie

As the title says.

Since I'm incapable of speaking correctly, I've decided I won't speak at all. Is there a way to forcibly become completely non-verbal without actively harming oneself? I haven't decided if I want to attempt communication in some other fashion yet. I just know talking is off the table.

    Hello, thanks for taking the time to respond.

    So many times whenever I talk I just upset and anger those around me or make them uncomfortable. I'm told I'm allowed to have my own opinions, but the majority of the time when I express them I get shut down or told I'm wrong. I'm just tired of feeling like the oddity and outsider. I have decided speaking my mind causes too many problems and makes me feel awful. So if I can be silent from now on and just be a good little robot, maybe things will get better.

    I suppose I could just lie, but I've never been very good at that...
