Disgusted with my big mouth

Post Reply New Topic

I have a horrible problem of being either partially or wholly inappropriate at times. I often tend to alienate myself from family and friends because of this. Between horrible jokes, backhanded comments, or pushing things too far, it seems that I'm always working to patch up a relationship. Oftentimes I don't realize I've caused an issue until it's far past or someone obviously points it out to me. Occasionally, I can see myself doing it almost as if I were in 3rd person yet I am unable to stop myself.
Am I the only one that does this? Does anyone have advice on how to better filter what I say to other people? This is often a source of anxiety of depression for me knowing I hurtband offend people that care.

I do the same thing. It's definitely an aspie trait which some folks have. The only way I could think of for cleaning up this behavior with myself is simply to avoid people and not talk at all. Seriously. When I see the neighbours I wave hi or say hello. Anything past that and I think I'm bound to say the wrong thing. I'm really conscious of the wrong words slipping out because I can be politically incorrect sometimes. I hate it because it isolates me; at the same time, I lessen my pain by knowing it's one of my awkward aspie traits.

Sounds like the story of my life. I think I'm being funny and people label me as insensitive, crazy, or worse. I think everything is fine and nothing wrong with the conversation and then they go tell other people they can't believe what I said. The only thing I can manage is talking as little as possible, staying away from people as much as I can, and keeping everything light and general when I do need to talk. But I'm always anxious and worried I will use the wrong tone of voice or something.

Guilty here. My brain to mouth filter doesn't always function correctly, or at all. I always assume in the back of my mind that I'm going to tick people off eventually, so sometimes I just want to get it over with instead of having that anxiety hang over me.
