do you think before saying something...???

For me it really does depend on the situation. There are a lot of times when I am in the heat of the moment that I am very hotheaded and when that happens I honestly don't think before I say something and that has come back to bite me in the tail many times. However, when it is just a general discussion that I am having with someone I really do tend to think before I speak so that I am not inadvertantly hurting someone's feelings.

Personally, i prefer to think before saying something, especially if there is something important to tell, or crucial to tell regarding people heart, so i must wisely choose what words will i have to tell

Keeping your mouth shut is often the best thing to do. If you remember ther rule and don't ever say anything to another that you wouldn't like to hear said to you, you will spread happiness instead of sorrow.

I would like to be able to say, yes I do; but the truth is, sometimes words slip out before I can catch them. For the most part, though, I do think before speaking.

whenever i am in full concentration, i always think what i said. but often in spontaneous conversation with friends, i rare to think what i want to said. to think it before we said it is a good way, but it is hard to always concentrate

i always try to. that helps in the social aspect of an individual.

Hi Tushavi, Yes, we should all think before we speak. There have been times when I didn't and felt sorry for it afterwards. We can so easily hurt or upset a friend when we don't stop to think of how something will sound to another before we speak. Blessings.

Yes i would, especially if it is a sensitive issue or when it is business. When i am with my friends though, i am very casual.

You are right in terms of sensitive issues. Most of us urge to express there ideas without considering others which result in broken relationship. It is always good to talk by keeping in mind the listener.

I really do think before I say something. Although sometimes it is harder than it seems. Stress or other circumstances can loosen my tongue and sometimes things just slip out. However, most of everything gets stopped by that little filter of my brain. I think that there are many things that I think that it might not be a good idea to state in polite company. Or any company at all. So when I talk to people, there are comments that I might make. However, I am just going to stop myself before I say something that I regret. Sometimes a little thought goes a long way in really helping ease the tensions between people. Now granted, things are bound to slip out but I think that there would be a lot less uneasiness in this world if people just thought more carefully about what they said.

Thinking before saying something is a good way not to break your listener's heart and it's the best way to get along with your friends, family, and colleagues very well. To one account even your tone of speaking should be appropriate to the situation. As per experience, my classmate would always get mad at me because she always complain that I sounded like I was mad at her even if I wasn't... So before you say something you need to think deeply on how you're going to formulate a statement that doesn't hurt a person's feelings. Sometimes, we have to have a sound body for a sound mind.. Which means, we have to be physically, emotionally, mentally, and emotionally well so that what words would come out from our mouth won't hurt other people...

Yes, but I do it very quickly, lol. Man thinks very quickly. So I never talk something without thinking before. I just don't wanna be looked so stupid. Many people do that, but I'm not on their boat. Thinking is a need, even before we're talking. That's why I always thinking before speaking. After speaking, I rethink what I've spoke.

It depends on the situation. I usually watch every word that comes out of my mouth, especially if I'm in an unfamiliar company or a very formal gathering. Other company also makes me think and rethink my words. But I will also confess that there were times where I tend to ramble things when I'm in a conversation or when I'm in the heat of emotion. I sometimes regret this occurrences but I cannot take back what I already said.
