Oh my, yes. This is my biggest "area of development". I recall saying, aww, I think it's sweet you are such a control freak. Then I lised some examples and placed them within the context of my statement. In sum, I analyzed the guy. I meant it sweetly and not at all in a negative way, but that was when I decided I would only use those tools for good.... In other words, SHUDDUPMODE was turned on. I have gathered that others are not so glad to be self aware, if another person points it out.



Now.... the guy I was recently seeing.... he has some boundary issues. I have no problems/qualms about sharing those. That, well that would be using it for good! (to help future women) Of course, that assumes he listens.

oh people listen to me...then either un, hide or forget what i said

Oh this guy can't ever be wrong. He said, "I find most people boring. What goes on inside my own head is more interesting than what most people have to say".

i can relate to that...except I don't keep it in my head i amuse myself most of the time

Yeah, I'm the same way. I've just gotten to the point of prefacing things with "If you don't really want to know... don't ask!"

kimmi...i have a habit of telling whether anyone asks or cares lol.

but I've come to the conclusion...thanks to many friends here....that at least people know who I am and no one has to wonder. if there are still questions about me...ask and I will tell it.

the only phobia in life I have is " foot-in-mouth-itis"... constant source or reckoning for me

you aren't the only one. you would think I would stop talking with a foot in my mouth. Mom even taught me not to talk with my mouth full

I can relate to this!

Opening my big mouth is life long endeavor for me. I'm getting better as I get older though. I tend to now just shake my head and hold my tounge untill it really counts. Don't want to pollute anymore air than I have too.

It's the only way to be.. if they can't handle it then it's not your problem.

glad to know I'm not the only big mouth lol

actually just the oposite. there are so many things I wish i could say but I hold back.

I used to do that too....but now I speak my mind...probably too much. can't find a happy medium

Isn't that what were all looking for? A happy medium = A happy me

no i've always been good with my mouth

uh, yep... (open mouth, insert foot)

I'm just shaking my head!
