Do you think you make sense all the time? If you answer yes to that question then I will honestly tell you that I am totally awed and I really envy you because I am one person who often lose control of myself and it's like I sound like I don't make sense at all sometimes. This happens especially when I am sleepy and I do not know anymore what I am saying, so it is really embarrassing. How do you keep your mind focused on the issues at hand and avoid being nonsensical? Any tips?

we're all human beings I'm sure all of us here have our faire share of "sensless times". Anyway it's normal when you're sleepy, or when you're too caught up with your problems/worries, that you can't think right, eat well, sleep much, concentrate or focus at work - it does happen, at certain times. I think relaxing really helps, you know, just do some activities that make you happy, which can take your mind off those things that bother you, even for a while, and you'll feel better afterwards. Then I'll be able to focus my mind on things a lot better, and I can function well too.

I pride myself on not making sense most of the time. If i made more sense, people would be able to figure me out more quickly. What fun would that be?

I am a type of person who seldom speak at all or what you call a quite person so I am a bit in control of myself especially of what I speak of. It's embarrassing when you made mistake and since words you can't take it back what's been said. So one must be careful in saying something because words can hurt or may cause embarrassments.
When I'm sleepy i just go quietly and i am mostly silent because my mind already is stating to doze off. You can't hear anything from me if I'm sleepy. So no embarrassment at all.

well,i also often lose control like you.When someone misunderstand me and he doesn't listen my explanation at all ,i will sometimes shout at him angrily and loudly like i don't make sense and that often makes thing worse and worse.But when i calm down,i will regret my behaviour and apologize to the guy .Things like that happen circulary and i can't change my habit though i make all my efforts.SO i think it is my nature ,the best thing i can only do is to ameliorate it ,so take it easy.

I am not really sensible all the time but I mostly do. What I do is think before speaking or delivering insights. Most people speak first before thinking so they lose the good way of thinking. And don't just respond to a topic that you really have no knowledge at all. You should listen or read about it first so that you could understand what's it about.

Hello!
this is funny because my problem is the total opposite, when I'm nervous or tired I get extremely logical, so I kinda make too much sense! this isn't something I do on purpose and I often don't realize I'm doing it, until someone points it out or tells me I'm annoying. It's embarrassing too because people think I try to sound clever or to make fun of them.
How I avoid it: I try to sleep enough so that I don't get tired! and I try to think before talking!
Good luck to us all and if we could find a time when we're both tired I'm sure it would be lots of fun to talk!
