When you tend to speak before first thinking...I am so guilty take my last postt

well, i usually think before i speak. i always try not to hurt anybody. but there are instances when i can't just shut up my mouth and say things that aren't meant to be said in the first place. i haven't gotten across your post about the 3 cents thing. but i understand you. i had been here for 5 months now. when i was starting, i feel bad about just earning a little. but later on, i realize that it's more fun discussing matters here and meeting people, exchanging ideas and thoughts around the world. sometimes, i don't mind how much i earn for as long as i am having fun. i earn more than 2 dollars per day and sometimes, up to 4 or 5 dollars. still not much i know. but it's worth it here.

LOL, I have this very same problem. Or when I do speak, the words come out sounding wrong and then I have to go into great detail to explain what I meant. I guess we have to teach ourselves to learn some patience and take our time before responding to questions. Nice to see I'm not alone though :)

I am often guilty of this as I get quite emotional over certain issues and my brain forgets to put on the brakes. Only today I was peed off with what was going on at work and went on moaning about it instead of confronting the problem. Then afterwards I felt awful and wished I had never said anything. I am known for always standing up for what I believe and if no one else steps forward to raise an issue I am always there as their understudy. I know it has given me abit of a reputation, but it has also given me the chance to help some of my friends who do not have the confidence to do it on their own. I often say to myself sometimes, just stay quiet today and don't blurt out what is on your mind. It lasts a few hours, but the voice inside my head becomes vocal yet again. However, I do have respect for people and am not someone who insults. Also, if I do think I have gone too far I do have the sense to apologise.
