They can't stop talking and saying things that they shouldn't.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Jan 10, 2019
A blabbermouth is someone who talks excessively and indiscreetly. They just have no sense of when they’ve gone too far and said something inappropriate. They may gossip but they don’t do it to be mean, they just can’t help themselves!
Are you one of the zodiac signs with a big mouth? Some blabbermouth zodiac signs are more likely to do this. And if you tend to be withdrawn and have trouble speaking up for yourself, you’re not going to speak excessively.
You’ve heard the expression, “They had diarrhea of the mouth.” Well, that’s how it is for a blabbermouth. Once they open their mouth and start talking, it doesn't matter how many signs they get that they need to be quiet because they’ll just keep talking.
Sometimes when someone gets nervous, they may become a chatterbox. They don’t know what to do with their excess energy, so it comes out as talking too much. Other times, people talk too much because they don’t feel as if they’re being understood, so they try to explain the situation and end up making things even worse.
If you see people’s eyes glaze over when you’re talking, you’re probably a blabbermouth. If people are wary about confiding in you because you have a reputation of telling secrets, you need to find a way to be a little more thoughtful about what you say and when you say it.
1. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis not only love to talk, but they're also very good at it. The downside of being a blabbermouth is that you tend to get into fights on social media or in the comment section of blogs, which is exactly what happens to Gemini.
They just can't hold back. They absolutely must express themselves, no matter what the cost is. If they piss someone off on Instagram or Twitter, so what? They'll get over it. The problem is that sometimes those opinions can get you in trouble with your job or future employer.
2. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras love sharing information, but they don't always share that they have the right to share. They will mistakenly share something that someone told them in confidence. Libras don't always understand when something is classified information and they love to be entertaining with their stories.
However, just because something is going to get you big laughs at a party, it doesn't mean you need to tell everyone you come in contact something that was supposed to be kept quiet.
3. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos love to be the center of attention and what is a good way to do that? By telling a good story or revealing something shocking or humorous. Leos often have a talent for being able to take a simple story and exaggerate or modify it in such a way that it becomes extremely entertaining.
But when these stories are untrue to the point of being completely fabricated, there's going to be trouble. Leos are so used to having people enthralled by their words that they can get out of hand and not know when to stop speaking.
4. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos are very knowledgeable and witty, but those qualities don't balance out the fact that they value their own opinions over the opinions of others. It's difficult to have a balanced discussion about important issues with a Virgo if you don't agree with them all the way.
They'll go on and on even when they sense they're losing the attention of their listener if they need to drive a point home. Virgos can sometimes be more of a monologist than a conversationalist.
5. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarians love to get into big discussions about philosophy and their ideas of the meaning of life. But if a Sagittarius feels like what they're saying is being misunderstood, they will defend themselves much longer than necessary.
Sagittarians don't easily let go when they feel that other people aren't giving them their due. If they want to talk about something, they'll not take into consideration who their audience is, and talk about it whether people are interested or not.
