That bursting feeling when you need to say something

Post Reply New Topic

Do any of you get this feeling, if someone else is talking and you hear them say something that is wrong, and they keep talking and you feel like you are going to burst because you absolutely have to tell them they stated incorrect facts? And it's like, in the end, you end up interrupting them because you feel like your insides will explode if you don't? And you simply have to interrupt them because your brain can't focus until you have corrected what they said and you know you will forget what the thing was if it goes on any longer?

Yes, for sure.

Yes, and I've noticed that when passions are inflamed, the same is true for NT's. As for me, I try to let that person finish, and while doing so, try to think of a way to pose my objections in the form of a polite but tough question. This approach likely won't win over the person saying the objectionable things. But I have found the other participants are likely to think more of me, even if I don't convince them I'm right. Everybody deserves to be treated with courtesy and consideration even if it oftentimes is not reciprocated. In my experience, we come out far ahead when we do so.

Oh yes, frequently. Just yesterday I had to excuse myself from a conversation and go in my room because I was about to interrupt and be really rude to someone. After I jumped around a little bit and blew off some energy I was all right sort of, and returned to the conversation. I was proud of myself for not wrecking another conversation.

Happens to me.

Yes, I know this feeling--and it also comes sometimes when I need to monologue about something fascinating.
I feel there is a huge internal pressure and speech is the only way to safely bleed some of it off before I explode.

Absolutely, what makes it even worse is when the conversation canges direction before I get to say what is bothering me. It feels like i'm going to explode if I don't somehow get to say what is on my mind

I do mostly because if I don't say it while it's on my mind, I will eventually forget to say it at all.

No, for me it is completely different. I have to question them. I don't like to just give people straight facts because I second guess many things and I just don't know if certain things are true or not. People accuse me of interrogating them and become upset especially my loved ones. For me, I not only see facts I see interpretations to these facts as well.

I definitely do this. It happens a lot when someone makes a grammatical or pronunciation error. I used to just blurt it out without thinking, but recently I have been told that it is incredibly rude to do so, so I try to hold it in. While attempting to do so, I will feel like I'm going to burst, but often by the time I get the chance to speak, no one understands why I'm saying it.

I hate interrupting people mid-sentence. It's just something I never do. So when I get that bursting feeling of wanting to say something, if I can't get to say it, then it's just tough, though very disappointing. Often this happens. I am too introverted to be able to express myself as much as others get to, because I'm always afraid that if I did, nobody would be listening, even if I found a gap, so I'll just be talking to myself. Sometimes that has happened, and then someone in the group has looked at me and said, ''what are you mumbling on about?''

Ohh. Ode to be NT.

I get the bursting feeling but it's not about correcting people. It's usually something I have on my mind that I know I shouldn't say but it's hard not to. It's often something personal.

Yes I do get that, sometimes I interupt mid sentince if the inaccuracy and person warrents it, usually I look for the first break in their talking to correct. I often find myself correcting the TV and radio, not that they can listen although I think its important that anyone nearby in my listening/talking range hears the correction, I know thats stupid however it feels good.

I have learned not to interrupt. I do know the bursting feeling, but I have learned to just laugh internally at the person who said the stupid thing. It's fun to let that person keep saying the same wrong thing repeatedly on different occasions unless it's someone I like or unless the wrong thing actually affects me negatively.

it's like in the cartoons when they get an idea and have a light bulb over there head....i feel if i don't get it out it will pop and be forgotten

though i guess that doesn't happen here....just wanted to post it.

That's exactly it. Its not only about correcting someone either it could be when they've missed out a relevant bit of information, or you are having a discussion with them and they are waffling on and you really, really need to interject to clarify/add/correct etc. And the feeling sort of rises up in you and you just have to say something in the end, because you are waiting and waiting for a break in them speaking and it never seems to come so you have to say "can I just say..."
