Is it your own rule or someone told you that??
Maybe your just not with the right person,or makes you feel restricted
I almost got paddled once for saying ‘Please pass the salt’
No, this was taught to me as early as I can remember. A headache of do’s and don’ts about what is acceptable or appropriate to say.
But you are no longer a child! You also where an Adult in the era of free love and female empowerment. So how did you not outgrow all that?
When I’m around people I want to talk, but I can’t think of anything to say. Then I go rigid and start talking in a monotone, and people start yawning. I’ve gotten to where I don’t need to talk that much.
The apple does not fall from the tree. The more I failed, the more I reverted to my parents’ ways.

Self esteem and self assertiveness courses would be the way to go. Both need refreshes every now and then.
