I figure if I just say it I can move past it faster.
It's not even 7am and I've already had a moment where I talked too much. Nothing bad just told a long winded anecdote when it wasn't really a good time for it. You know what I mean? Out of context wrong time. I feel dumb already.
I also feel like I smell. Like I got something on me and if I only did laundry and showered I wouldn't have this happen. I showered last night and I'm at the gym so why shower before the gym.
This kind of thing actually makes me depressed . Because I can be witty and pretty and fresh but sometimes I'm an idiot .

:yes:
dear tired, i know how you feel when things like that happen, how hard it is to say to yourself that making a conversational blunder doesn't make you dumb, it just means you made a blunder. that crabby old i/c, give it a slap!
(actually, i am a total hypocrite in this; i used to teach my kids that failing at something doesn't make you a failure.... but i so fail to live up to that.... but it doesn't make me a failure... doh! :stars: :stars: :blowup: )
and if it's any consolation i never shower before going to the gym. what's the point, i'm only gonna want another afterwards... just a quick cat lick and go for it, witty and pretty will have to suffice, fresh can wait till i get home!!! :aaauuugh:
Even though this is an old topic, I felt like I had to respond -- it's such a great one! For me, I feel awkward whenever I speak to my assistant...or my supervisor, both of whom are nice, stable people. I think it's the fact of the hierarchical relationships that's messing with my head. I have to hope that my own niceness makes up for the weird laughs, talking jags, silences, and other conversational gifts I bestow.
:yeahthat: Sometimes I get nervous and start blathering. I can hear myself saying "Stop talking Kizzie!" and then I trail off and there's that awkward silence that makes me wish I could :disappear:
Isn't it great, at the same time, one is actually aware of this?
Confusing? Yes.
Awkward? Yes. Even more so, perhaps.
But to be aware of this. Isn't t a gift? Or possibly even: a Skill?
