Does your mouth talk before you brain is in gear?

Question

Mine always does...it's 'cos I think aloud a lot of times!

Tell me when your mouth last let you down.

Answer 1

I think I am thinking something and only realise I have said it when I see the person face! This has become quite bad since I reached 50 years of age. I have become my grandmother who felt she had the right to say what she wanted because she was old and she had not got time to waste. I suspect she had as little control over her tongue as I now have and but she decided to put a personality trait to the foot in the mouth problem to appear more interesting!!! I am still at the stage of wanting to crawl up my own backside but this is diminshing a little as i can blame the menopause!! Good luck and hope you dont get into too much trouble over it!!

Answer 2

It has been known to do so. It's been a long time, because I have been practicing keeping my mouth shut and trying really hard not to talk.
Here's the other thing and it drives my husband crazy, I have a thought and I start talking, but before I finish what I was first saying another thought pops in there and I get distracted by that and can't finish the first thing or I accidentally finish with the second or third thought. Which leaves him utterly confused.

Answer 3

I am sooooooo not an insecure person. I don't have a jealous bone in my body, but that would even drive ME nuts. I am not one to play games and all, but I am telling you this dude is effing with your head on purpose. Everyone has some form of an insecurity whether it be very minor, or totaly huge. Like I said I am not insecure in general, but I AM human so I do have SOME things that make me feel insecure at times, however I don't dwell on them. While I don't dwell on it, my SO also doesn't constantly throw it in my face either. For your husband to PURPOSELY keep doing this KNOWING it makes you feel bad, means he's an *** and a jerk. And since he has started this little game of "What??? It's no big deal! What are you getting so mad about?" I would reciproicate the treatment. I normally wouldn't suggest this but I think he needs a taste of his own medicine. If I were you I'd start doing EXACTLY the same thing to him and see how he likes it. "Wow! I can't wait 'til you go to Cuba so I can spend more time with Bob the next door neighbor. Have you seen Bob's ab's? I think he's been working out." "Wow, that cashier at the grocery store was hot! Did you see him wink at me?" Start being really flirtacious in front of him. WHen he finally freaks out, say, "What? It's no big deal! Why are you being overly sensitive and desperate?" That said- it's your fault for marrying him KNOWING how he was and that it bothered you. Everyone knows you don't marry someone to change them.

Answer 4

some times.

Answer 5

I always get into more trouble for something I said than for failing to speak up. But I've also been complimented (recently, in fact) for not holding back on saying what I feel, so sometimes it can be a good thing.

Answer 6

Technically speaking - when my mouth talks before my brain's in gear normally means I'm talking out of my @rse

Answer 7

Very often!

I used to worry about that, but now I don't anymore. I speak my mind. If later I realize I said something inappropriate, I apologize. People have to take me as I am, my friends got used to it.
I do watch my toungue a bit with strangers or very important people though.

Answer 8

A lot of the time...but fortunately my brain is usually able to catch up and bail me out of trouble.

Answer 9

Yup, a lot. I can't remember my last time, but I recall blurting out something racially confusing (not offensive, just in a low manner).

Answer 10

Sure does expecially when I am angry. I tend to develope verbal diahrea at that time. I will say what ever mean, nasty, snide thing that comes to mind. It gets me in trouble.

I haven't done it recently but I am sure that I will. Work is getting ugly.
