I seem to have this odd foot-in-mouth problem... I'm sure you know the kind of thing, where you say and do stupid things in order to impress, or try and be funny, or just because you think that is what the person was wanting to hear.

So anyway, I personally want to offer a big appology to all the people who have suffered at the hands of my problem. :D

Anyone else a social casuality and suffer from this problem like me? It's easy to say be yourself, but does anyone actually manage to be themselves all the time?

I do that sometimes and there is nothing worse, as the person is sat.stoopd there and doesnt say a thing and then you end up having to say "hmm anyway...". NOT good!!!!:help:

Yup, I suffer from that problem all the time. I speak before I think, and quite often put my foot in it.

For people that know me personally it isn't too bad, they know its me but to offer people who don't know me, I sometimes offend them
:( I don't mean to , words just come out.

I too suffer, not at the time but afterwards. I think, did I really say that, and did I tread on any toes. Too late when it can't be taken back, especially on here when it's left in print for the duration. I usually regret my posts so mea cupa.

I suffer the same..

My brain, such as it is :suspect: seems to act just after I have opened my mouth.. :gag:

im bad when im drunk, as i tend to get loud,

i remember one time i was in bankers draft with my mate, we had been drinking all day

when these 3 girls came in dressed as fairies,
all very normal,
so we was talking about them, and you do i goes

"oooo shes nice on left but her on right looks like a bloke"

anyways, this lass turns round and says "if you have anything to say, say it to my face"

so of course when your drunk the reply come

"sorry, did you not hear me the first time? you look like a ******* bloke!!"

anyways, i was fearing a slap when she just stormed out the place,

every bar we went in after that, we kept bumping in to them,

perhaps it was meant to be!!

Oh dear... need to see a doctor about this now... It seems to be getting worse, as now I seem to be saying and doing the wrong things, but having NO IDEA what I'm doing and with there being no explanation from the people I'm offending I'm left in the dark with a bad case of confusion too!

I wonder if this condition is fatal. :gag:

I have good news for most of you. As I am 10-20 years older than most of you. You will probably grow out of it, or at least do it much less often.

That's what happened to me. I used to do some really stupid things when I was about 20 and drunk, and they didn't impress anyone, especially not the fairer sex. I grew out of it.

I wouldn't count on it. I'm a good person for doing the old 'speak then think' thing. I get it off my Dad, who's always done it and still does. As he's now 50 odd I don't think you do grow out of it!

f you seem to be annoying the same person / group of people, why not try leaving them alone. Perhaps it's a bad mix of personalities or whatever but if all you do is annoy them then that should be telling you something. Perhaps they don't like you or want anything to do with you. Learn from it! You appear to have got to the point where you know that you with annoying these people so the next stage is to stop annoying them. The only reason you should have to be in contact with them is if they are family or if you work with them. If it's family then I guess it's tricky, if you work with them then consider getting a new job. If it is anyone else then why do you need to have contact? If you’re trying to impress someone so they might be your boyfriend or something then it's obviously not working!
If you text them when drunk then delete their number. You don't want to get a reputation as a stalker!!

Excellent theory. Unfortunately it falls down in several areas when it's put into practice.

1. Avoiding people just because you're a bit liable to say something stupid is daft

2. People like us are indiscriminate in who we say stupid things to, I do it to most people I meet.

3. Chances are, if it's that serious the other people have already left you alone for some time, so there;s usually no need to avoid them.

Snooks thread seemed to indicate that he was annoying someone or a certain group of people. Yea we all say daft things sometimes but if it's got to the point where you appear to need to make an on-line apology, then I get the feeling that the people it's directed at probably won't appreciate it. If it was me why you had been annoying and I read your post, I may think you were taking the **** or are looking for attention. Either way it's not going to make them like you any more! Leave the people alone..

I got the impression it was a light hearted thread and conversation starter.

Snooks posts never upset me personally.

Always has plenty to say.

If I am wrong about the thread, stop being so paranoid ya obnoxious weirdo! :hihi:
