I have done this before by using a k2 override and finding the title in the category_item.php and reworking the php a bit with substring commands to display on the first x characters of every title.

reference here
php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php
try something like

<?php echo substr($this->item->title,0,10); ?>
instead of
<?php echo $this->item->title; ?>
You will have to test it

@Andreas V

It's good that it didn't work since it might broke your site. When you need to cut out a part of a text containing HTML code then you must first remove the HTML tags. Otherwise it might produce invalid markup breaking your site. K2 has a built in function for this.
Try to use:

 <?php echo K2HelperUtilities::characterLimit($this->item->introtext,80); ?>

You can also have a word limit using :

 <?php echo K2HelperUtilities::wordLimit($this->item->introtext,80); ?>
