Yes. Sometimes I speak well, other times I sound really dumb.


me too!!

If I'm really sleepy I sound slurred & talk backwards or get what I want to say all mixed up... same happens when I'm past the point of mad also.

Often times, I will be engaged in a conversation, when all of a sudden I will forget what I'm talking about mid-sentence. (This is easier to hide on an internet forum because the post doesn't appear until you hit "submit") I personally think that this happens because my brain thinks about ideas so quickly, that by the time the words are coming out of my mouth, I'm already three ideas ahead of what I'm talking about. If I get far enough ahead, I forget what I was going to say now.

Anyone else experience this?

Yes, this happens to me all of the time. How many times, during a conservation, I will stumble over my words or come to a grinding halt and have to say something like, "Please excuse me. I'm thinking about three different things at the same time...."

Has anyone ever meant to say one thing, only to say another, and then be accused of lying later on when what really happened was that you couldn't think of the correct word or phrase to describe what you wanted, and/or didn't want to spend 1 minute + to think of what it is you precisely wanted to say so went with something similar(but still not entirely correct) instead?


I did that once - I call it "my entire life" :)

Yes. I remember when Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist said his body couldn't keep up with his mind, I had to agree there. Except he's 60 years old, whereas I'm not.

Kind of irritating sometimes. I see all these options, but my body is too slow or not skilled enough to do most of them.

I'm so glad/relieved someone brought this up and so many responses. I thought it was just me - you the kind of "it's only me b/e I have a brain tumor or something!"

I probably finish about 2/3's of my sentences and then I'm on to something else. My family says it's impossible to have a conversation with me.

I"M NOT the only one........ thank you for this.

H. :o

Yes this is one of the things that really bugs people who know me. I used to try to tell people at work how to compute certain entitlements and input them (I'm a former finance person) and I would be thinking ahead of my speaking, so I would constantly stop in mid sentence, basically giving a speech full of half sentences- drove them crazy and I understand why! I also had to stop my daughter from trying to finish my sentences when she was 5 or 6. Every time I trailed off she would suggest the ending and it never was what I was trying to say at all, LOL. I had to make her stop it so I wouldn't go crazy and she wouldn't do that to other people.
