Verbal Constipation

[sunstruck]

Every time I try to talk to somone today all that comes out of my mouth is "Ummmm, yeah, errrr uh huh". It's frustrating as hell. I know exactly what I want to say and then I open my mouth and my mind goes blank.

Ever happen to you?

YES!!!! I know exactly what you mean! I call it a, "twenty word pile-up".

Every Damn day

It would be easier to list the times that doesn't happen to me. It's something of a problem when I'm conducting an interview, as my incompetence lives on not only in the memories of those I speak to, but on tape as well.

 

[Eumenides]

Errr...ummm...well...uh...ohshit--

YES!

 

[sunstruck]

Oh good, I'm not alone. Happens to me sometimes with voice mail/answering machines too. lol but rarely in person. I think I need a nap.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

all the bloody time. I think of some great reply to a thread, or to a PM, and then as soon as I hit 'post reply', my mind goes blank.

 

[deliciously_naughty]

hate hate hate it when that happens. There are times when I'm really verbose and "on" and then you get my awkward voicemail messages or those times when I'm interviewing and my brain just shuts off....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

I have two settings: hem-haw and babble. It's pretty embarrassing.

No no. You are the inventor of HOLY MONKEY CHRIST! That is verbal gold m'dear.

 

[naudiz]

Well, I was in a state of shock. These things just come out.

Good afternoon, by the way, lovely sunstruck.

If all ya'all would not get so drunk at work voicemail would be a breeze.

Ha! I do not drink on the job! Unless you count when I work at home. Ok I do not drink in the office!

Everyone else her gets high on their luch hour though. lmao I can't function at work stoned.

ME???? Why?

 

[Guest]

I don't talk to people.

 

[teddybear4play]

Yep. In any other element, I relish having the entire English language at my disposal to paint portraits with my words, but throw an attractive woman in the mix and all I can spit out is "Pluhhh . . ."

It doesn't happen all that often online, since I'm removed enough from the situation that I don't lose all mental faculties, but I'm sure I have posts where you'd look at it and say "What the hell was he thinking?"

(Most of the time it's the fault of the person who posted seventh in this thread. So blame her.)

I always run out of words whenever someone who's wanted to meet me does. I haven't gotten used to the idea that someone might actually want to meet me, so when it happens, and they say, "Wow, I've heard so much about you," I tend to go into this mental place where in theory I know what words mean, but they don't come out right in the assembly line.

I think from now on, I'll just say, "Hey, nice ass."

 

[Guest]

Yep. I'm guilty of verbal constipation and verbal diarrhea. I usually find myself with no words when I'm scared I'll say something wrong. Yep- approval seeking psychopath.

 

[Rambling Rose]

All this talk is making me hungry...I may have to eat my words.
