have you experienced things like this? when you are in a conversation and then forget something that you wanted to say...but its all in your mind just that you can't say it...?
well it happens to me sometimes, that when we're talking a bout something and then one ask my what's that...i feel that i really know the answer but just can't tell what it is...its just on my mind and i just can't express it and i will just ends up saying..."i knew it...its on the tip of my tongue!"
do you have same experience?
thanks and have a good day!

Yeah, and i hate it whenever that happens.. lol =D It's just that losing something right in front your eyes when u are already holding it.. hehe ^_^
I just hated that feeling because it will make me so uncomfortable throughout the whole day, till i finally remember what i wanna say.. lol =D The more i try to force myself or hint myself, i always dun seem to get it out, till i distract myself.. ONly then, all those exact words will come to mind but it will be too late by then.. haha =D

I have! and I hate it when it happens.. Specially when I'm talking to my boss or to a client, and I suddenly forget the right term, or the right english word for what I'm going to say. It is quite embarrassing, but my boss just laughs at it and say " that's a senior moment! " LOL!

dah! its really frustrating and a little embarrassing when it happens in front of our boss or clients...waaaah...and especially if it happens during presentation
what is sometimes annoying is that the word the we forget is the simplest one...
but anyway, its good that your boss understands...

Yes, this happens to me all of the time. I can be thinking of what I want to say. And when it comes time to actually say it, my mind goes completely blank... And I am like, man shoot!!! I am trying to get the words back to my tongue.. Hopefully what I have to say will come back to me very soon..

That thing happens a lot to me and most of the times it comes when I want to say something really important he he. Suddenly that things disappears from my mind. It is kinda strange, according to me that happens when we start things about many things at a time. Our mind cant do multi tasking!!
thanks for response...:-)

Yes it is true ckyera I also have that experiences.
It is the result of so many things we have in our mind.
It is fully loaded like cellphone it will hang up if there
are full messages in the inbox. Just like us humans
forgot because we have many thinkings and plan for the
weekened. Suddenly as one ask we will get mental block.
We need to recharge or pause or something have a rest for a while
after few minutes we remeber it when the one asking is already
gone heheheh.

Yes...I always experienced that in the middle of a conversation.
I have to stop because I forgot what will I'm going to say next
or if somebody asked me a question and I know the answer, the moment
I open my mouth it's already blank. I can't say it. Sometimes it's
so very frustrating.

That happens alot to me. I will be ready to tell somewhat about something then they interupt. I then get so focused on what they are talking about that I forget what i wanted to say. And they will be like what is it you wanted to say. So I just reply I will ask you later when I remember. Its rather annoying but I dont stress it.

oh yes jessi, that's annoying...i hate moments like that, that when i am saying something the people you're talking to will interrupt...and that mostly resulted for forgetting the next things that i wanted to say...and which makes me wait for a next time or few minutes/time before i remember it again and worst sometimes it don't come back to my memory at all...
thanks jessi for response!

This is an intersting topic. Yes, the same problem happened to me a lot of times. I am very poor in remembering dates and names. I faced this problem a lot while discussion about movies. I forget easily the name of the movie eventhough I know about the director, the main characters, and the story. It is a strange situation.

oh yes...it feels like you almost said everything about a certain thing...the only thing that you can't tell is the most important one...and whew! its a head ache! does it happen to you that you hardly get sleep just thinking what it is? and then when you finally remember you will feel like saying "doh!"
is that all i am thinking? hehehe
thanks for sharing...

Hi, this is natural to all. There would be any one who has not experienced this. This happens due to the over stress on the subconscious mind. When we talk this is the conscious mind in action and that we tend to forget a specific word or phrase is the result that the subconscious mind is rooted elsewhere.
We call it deadlock. It hardly would come to your recollection in this situation.

I know very well what does that means because I have been encountering the same situation many times in my life and then others think that I am turning old but infact it is not a matter of age totally because I do remember that thing but I hardly come to say it so it is quite frustrating and funny sometimes.

hahaha...yeah! its sometimes funny being under this situation...how we squeeze our mind just to say what we really wanted to say...and like you my friends sometimes told me...hey you're getting old that's why you don't remember things....
but anyway its ok with me, coz i know that also happens to them...
thanks med for sharing...

Interesting,yes,i think that happens.
I sometimes came across a former classmate on the road,but I often can't remember his or her name,though the classmate was the one that I was very familiar with in school,I just couldn't call them correctly,it was embarrassing. lol
So,I am a little afraid to come across my former classmates now.
