Ever feel stupid/think why did I say/do that?

Post Reply New Topic

I sometimes feel this way! Today I heard thunder and asked the obvious question was that thunder? Mom: Uh ya what did you think it was? Me: Uh I don't know (I fealt stupid!) I told my friend all these awesome hang out plans and she said she was busy etc. I said Fine sorry I bothered you! (Someone here on WP said "Fine" was defensive) I never knew that! (luckily I FB the friend and we are still on good terms despite my comment. I feel so bad over saying/doing stupid stuff!! !! There have been other instances but those are the 2 recent ones that pop into my head as of right now. Can anyone relate? Thanks

That's normal. In the example of thunder, it's just "denial". In the example of saying "fine", it's just a habit that you can break if you care about it. Almost everything I hear people say around me isn't worth saying, and that's NT's. I usually get by with 20 words per day, unless you include vocalizing thoughts to myself.

I feel like I spend 3/4ths of my life feeling that way.

Have a look at my custom title. Why do you think the second word is there?

I accidentally insulted someone once (some random discussion about cars for some unknown reason), and insult her choice in cars (even though im not an expert). I apologized to her the following day, but it didnt dawn on me what i had said until after we departed from said discussion.

Sometimes. Sometimes it's a transient thing, occasionally I'm really embarrassed immediately after the words have come out of my mouth.

There's rarely a day that goes by when I don't feel this way.

I evaluate my behavior retrospectively, constantly.

A common experience for people like us.

I go through that, on a daily basis.

Yes, often.

oh dear, i pretty much analyse every small mistake i make every word or slight movement i make (example: "damn! i shouldnt have tapped my feet twice! spastic level rising!")

I hate when I say a word that means more than one thing and it is takin' the wrong way...

That happens constantly...

I get in really big trouble sometimes just for saying something that means something bad that I

did not mean to say.

I tend to ramble too much at times as well, sometimes I give way too much information...

I often repeat myself and drag things out too much...

I tend to say inappropriate things at the wrong times without realizing.

I tend to hate on myself very often for these things... but the more I do that, the more people

around me begin to distance themselves from me, so I have to try really hard not to be so hard

on myself, it seems to hurt the people who care for me.

I tend to think many things I do are goofy... bothers me... almost every move I make, and every

thought and feeling, I get embarressed in ways people can't seem to see... I'm constantly trying

to look at myself, how I behave, but I can't seem to... everything comes out completely

different... everyone sees me in a completely alternate universe than than I do...

I can relate to what has been said.
