Don't you hate it when your mind draws a blank?

I hate it! There are 3 specific situations of this that I can't stand. 1. I forget what I'm doing in the middle of it and stare blankly until I figure it out. 2. I forget what I am saying and it's on the tip of my tongue or maybe it could be a name of something or whatever I just can't think of. 3. I have a brain fart and am talking about one thing while thinking of another and say something really odd. This is rare but it happens and my fiance teases me every time. All of these are rare, but ANNOYING as HECK!!! Do you ever experience one or all of these? Do they annoy you? Are you ever teased for it? Do you have any other situations like this that bug the crud out of you?

yeah i do that sometimes , i wonder is it because were getting older lol , like i really hate it when i have a thought inside my head to get a conversation going and its really important , but when i want to launch the topic or question out loud i go blank sometimes and then someone else speaks and like 10 minutes later it will come back to me but by then someone else already excuted the point lmao

Yeah lol. It especially bugs the pants off me when it is important, or when I think it might've been important. I try to tell myself if it was that important I will think of it later, but that doesn't always happen, and even if it does, it doesn't always help. Lol

HAHA! I do this all the time. I forget words... even the most *basic* of all words slip my mind all the time. It's like, you start describing something like, "Yeah this morning, I was making eggs in the, uhh... what's it called? That round thing..." and somebody looks at me with a blank stare, like I'm mentally retarded and says, "FRYING PAN." okay, so maybe it's not that bad, I just haven't forgotten any words yet today! heh. but I do also forget my trains of thought all the time! I'll start describing something and COMPLETELY forget why I started talking about it! Here's one: I start walking down a hallway and stop and seriously forget where I was going. Seriously. and then I walk back wherever I came from and I'm lucky, 15 minutes later I realize, I needed trash bags! haha.

Haha I've done that. Go to the kitchen to get a bottle of water from the fridge. Then forget why I was going in there and turn back, then remember and turn to get the water, lmao!

It drives me nuts, when that happens. I just can't stand it, when I'm trying to think of a word, but can't, or forget what I was in the middle of doing, or something like that. It's crazy.

I agree! Lol well I didn't think I was the only one, but I am glad I am not and a few others have definitely experienced the same thing. It's MADNESS!

All these symptoms happened to me before, and I hate all of them. Sometimes, I just felt like I make myself like a fool. Everyday, I tried to make myself better, perfect, and not look too stupid like that.

Yeah lol, but sometimes it just seems so impossible! Especially because I have some times when it happens a couple times close together and I feel like a complete fool! Lucky it doesn't happen very often!

This happens to me. I will loose my words. I once forget the word aquarium and had to call it a fish box before I could remember.

Yes I hate it. It happens when I'm really focus on one thing then you suddenly want me to focus on your thing.
