Comments on: Stupidity and Saying Too Much http://counterfeithumans.com/2009/03/09/stupidity-and-saying-too-much/ How to Maintain Sanity over Everyday Stupidity Fri, 18 May 2012 04:05:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Ferd http://counterfeithumans.com/2009/03/09/stupidity-and-saying-too-much/#comment-5922 Ferd Mon, 23 Mar 2009 01:50:32 +0000 http://counterfeithumans.com/2009/03/09/stupidity-and-saying-too-much/#comment-5922 Yeah, count me in, I sometimes say way more than I need to, and sometimes I regret it. But I have learned a lot from Princess Gail. She is the kind of person who takes her time processing and considering what she heard, and then responds with the minimum. She is often mistaken for being cold, or aloof. There are times when she doesn't respond at all! She is a very boundaried person, to a fault. And when I examine it, she is always appropriate. At those times when she doesn't respond, the other person doesn't deserve a response. People who take the time to get to know her realize that she is actually a very intelligent person, and appreciate her wisdom and counsel. She's taught me that when speaking, less is usually better than more. But you might gather from my drawn out response that I am still learning! Ha! Yeah, count me in, I sometimes say way more than I need to, and sometimes I regret it.

I have learned that the quieter I am the more others talk and then walk away feeling the way I USED to. Why, oh why, can I not make that a permanent behavior?

You were attempting to make someone feel better. Guilt induced exposure. There are worse things....like that woman telling you about her successes (children). I wouldn’t worry too much.

But I know I am safe, because no body listens to me any way. When I am in the middle of my conversation they walk away.

So many times words have slipped out -whole sentences, and I think, why did I just tell her that? Idiot! I hate it when I do this!

I try not too, but I do not process as well when I talk. It even made it into my medical records that I tend to "overtalk the caregiver" yikes! I have several theories and my blessed sweet man does try to nudge me but so little in life is "black or white" too much gray scale in there that needs more explanation. Sighhhh, now I am really embarrassed at the number of people who may label me as a stupe. O. Guilty, Chronically Guilty. I try not too, but I do not process as well when I talk.
