I don't think you can do so much about what people think about your chatter. You can only be yourself, and if what you have to say is intelligent, the right people will know. We can only do our best, and sometimes that is unfortunately not enough.

As for control of emotions, that might be good, but the backside in my case, is that I sometimes let other people walk over me and don't say stop when I should. I am not always good enough at protecting myself and my feelings.
