I don't know why I sometimes do (also say) the right things at wrong times and wrong things at the right time. And I find myself apologising for the 'mistake'! This has made me to keep quiet even at times that I think is suitable. Discretion of right action perhaps is a knack I lack, I don't know. Does anybody else also 'suffer' this trauma? I have tried my best to put thoughts into words. Are we among the few 'fools' :( ?

Goodness Dinu don't we all have this problem? Some people might not want to admit it, but then it takes a person of good character to be able to say opps I was mistaken. I know I have put my foot in my mouth a few times. I find I feel better if I just apologize and move on. Smile:)

I do this several times everyday. I dont mind it so much except for when I go home and "then" I realize what I said, Oh the embarrassement i feel that I could make it right, those people think I must be such a female dog, or stupid as all get out. I let my mouth overrun way too often so alot of times I will remember to keep my mouth shut until Im sure of the conversation(ususaly around people I dont know-friends know and laugh), I think maybe it makes me seem stuck up ,cold or unfriendly sometimes but at least Im only letting Them think these things for a bit intstead of them Knowing Im an idiot right off. LOL

Ditto here - I am trying to remember to reread posts BEFORE I send them to see if they sound different than I meant - possibly offending people when I don't mean to. I think the lack of not seeing someone's facial expressions while talking makes a big difference on how the written message is interpreted!
