I Talk to Myself

@SDFORME yep I pretty much rehearse every conversation..and for me it's because people stress me out and I stutter a lot more when I'm stressed so rehearsal of potential replys and ways to try and make conversation incase I'm someone talks to me. It's basically an all day thing

@Prometheus I completely understand. I generally need to slow down my thinking for my mouth to catch up. So rehearsal beforehand is very useful.

Yep more or less my brain goes 1000miles a minute and my mouth struggles to stay caught up so either I speak gibberish or I stutter so horribly that it ends the conversation

@Prometheus Do you also say the other person's lines? I do, and then I respond to what the person says, but it's only in my own head they've said that. When it comes to the actual conversation, for some strange reason the other person doesn't stick to the script, and in my imagination I see me tearing up a piece of paper into confetti and tossing it in the air. Curses....foiled again. .

@Prometheus Or we think one word and say the other. Even when the words are completely different I still do that and sometimes I don't register it till someone tells me. Yep, yes to all the above.

That sounds like an excellent way to put it

@SDFORME oh yeah I do that often I will say the wrong word or I over use a crutch word like uh or and. And I will sit there like a broken track record just saying uh, and, if.

@SDFORME Yeah! How does the word we want get lost between brain and mouth, and where do we pick up a totally unrelated word?

@Serenitree I have no idea. I once said dolphin instead of work. My brother got very confused very fast.

@SDFORME I've had people look at me like I'm speaking a language they've never heard before.
