Do You Shoot Yourself In The Foot?

Oh yes, sometimes accidents indeed happen. It is inevitable if the words just force themselves out of my mouth before I can restrain them. Not my fault lol!! But I will try.. as much as I can patiently try to really think before I speak. :P

Well I have done it a few times but not very often to be honest as I am normally a person that will think before she says And if there is nothing I can say I know I am better to keep my Mouth shut and just listen

He he ...with me always ... Kind of. I never think before saying anuthing. Its not in my blood :P . But luckily till today there is no such problem due to this. and inspite of that people say I am very intelligent in conversing with others. But the truth is I never think before saying anything.

What's been said has been said, or at least had to be. That's how I feel. I know that sometimes people are taken back by my "forthrightness" but too bad.

I have to admit there have been times where I have spoke before thinking and kicked myself later. I do tend to just say what I am thinking. I try really hard to not do that but sometimes my mouth just opens and words come out no matter how hard I try. I have gotten to the point that I realize that these things happen and if it is bad I do say I am sorry. Otherwise I just am like oh well the truth is the truth.

I can control myself but at times when i am very frustated i tend to speak without thinking...But this happens rarely...Whenever i am angry i keep mouthshut and speak when i am cool....

I would like to go back and change things that I have said when I was angry, but somethings that I said I meant and I wouldnt change them....lol I have learned to try and think before opening my mouth......but we all slip at times.....

To be honest – very rarely. Of course there have been occasions over the years where I’ve said something, and then regretted ir afterwards, and thought I wouldn’t have said it if I had my time over again, but I tend not to speak without thinking. I guess if it happened to me, I would just be upfront about it from the start and actually say I made a mistake, apologise, and hope my relationship with the person involved could move on.

I was going to say no, because I have heard that it hurts, until I read further..... Usually I just say whats on my mind, I dont think about it, if I have to think about it then somethings wrong if you cant just say whats in your head. I really dont care if it gets me into trouble, because thats how I am , shoot off first.

Oh all the time this happens to me, and usually things come to mind when I should have said something but didn't. I always open my big mouth, which isn't a bad thing as sometimes the first thing that comes to mind are usually the best and the most honest. You may wish you hadn't blurted it out quite like you did but it might be something that needed saying... does that make sense or am I talking nonsense lol

Pretty much every day of my life! No, not that often, but I am a very open person and tend to speak my mind to my friends and family. Sometimes I do let things slip that I wish that I hadn't, but so far I have been able to live with this without hobbling, too. I guess sometimes I really do need to stop and think before I respond and speak out.

I have foot in mouth disease so much sometimes I wish I had a zipper on my mouth.I especially hate it when I say something really mean and makes somebody cry or feel bad.

I usually shut up, and then about ten minutes later my head gets 100km per hour, thinking I should have said this, and this, why didn't I tell him/her that... etc etc etc, and I hate myself for that!!!

I do that so often but it was never really about anything important. Somehow i've always managed to make my way around these ackward conditions so I really can't complain. I suppose i have a way with words.

Oh dear Wolfie I am the foot in mouth queen lol, I must suffer from it badly. I am much better at expressing myself through writing ann verbally. When I speak I sound like a malev train taking off and my Dad always says, for Heaven's sake slow down girl..I always get everything mixed up and the wrong way arounb d lol. I am thinking of going to a toastmaster's club lol

If there's one thing that I'm proud of myself, it is that I rarely shoot myself in the foot. I always use my head to think, weigh the situation before speaking up. I have come across some people who are straightforward, tactless, direct and frank. Albeit some of them didn't mean what they're saying as intentionally insulting, I always ended up feeling hurt. I'm just too sensitive.

My problem most of the time the other way around. I always end up wishing I had said something when I had the chance to. I am always cautious with what I say, depending with who I'm talking to, of course. I make it a point to think first before saying anything, even when I am really mad. I snap back ONLY when I am offended, and still choose my words. I never make the first offense. My father always told me never to shoot my mouth until I'm sure about what I have to say. Sometimes it does me good, other times it doesn't. I often find myself regretting that I should have said something at all. But the good thing about it is that I keep myself from the trouble of being quoted a dumb statement, and nobody can ever predict what's on my mind or what I'm about to say. However, all that is, of course with OTHER PEOPLE. With my fiance, when we argue, I usually say what I want to say. And he hates me when I do that...LOL

Constantly wolfie - it must be in our blood! You know what I think it is probably more a case of worrying over people taking what we have said in a different way from what we mean! Don't ever worry about shooting yourself in the foot with me - you know I'd love you no matter what! xxxxx

I am not thinking just like thinks. I never becom angree to do like this. when we will angree we will do like this mischives things.

I can not count on both hands how many times i have shot my foot off. Or how many times i wish i could turn back the hands of time to say more or say something i hadnt. The best comments always come afterwards. Or your mouth just keeps going and your brain is thinking i really should stop i really need to stop i should just shut up now but you dont you keep going and then the regret comes over you once you spouted off your last insult.
