Let's face it, there are times when we read what we posted and ask ourselves the following:

"Was that really me?"

What do you do in writing that irks you on occasion?
 
When I get sucked in by trolls because I didn't realise it at the time.
 
I've immediately regreted everything I've ever posted ever.

I get annoyed when I look back later and realize that I made grammar mistakes and it's too late to edit it. Yes, I am one of "those" people. :D

I also get a bit embarrassed when I thought that what I said made sense and then I go back later and read it and wonder how anyone could have comprehended it. Much like this sentence. Well, not THAT sentence. The one before.

Then there are times like the above where I think that I'm not making sense so I over-explain when really it could have been understood in the first place. *Sigh*
 
1. There was a time when I would allow myself to get sucked into defending my personal feelings to forum bullies regarding thing.
2. The times when it took me a post or two longer than it should have to realize the person I was responding to understood what I was trying to say, they just didn't like it.
3. The times when my sarcasm faucet was open a little too far.

Oh, wow...I was going to say this, ^^^ almost word-for-word....start therapy immediately, you're as crazy as I am! :p
 
I always say what I wanna say. lol. It gets me in trouble in real life sometimes but not very often. My filter isn't as good as the average person sometimes
 
Sometimes I can be "too" charming in my posts. I need to get some control over it.
 
For me, it is always word order. I'm not really a linear thinker, so I have the essence of the sentence if you will already dancing in my head before it spills out on to paper or, in this case, electronic text.

The trouble is the little things get me. Not spelling, but usually word order.

There are also some embarrassing occasions in which I think of two or three sentences at once and type a combination deal down.

No shame in that. :P

Yeah, I do tend to struggle how to accurately portray the idea that I'm attempting to express.

Its like trying to sketch on paper a visual example of what water feels like to your hands.


I picture William Tell Describing how the Arrow passed through the apple perched atop his son's head. The speed, trajectory, distance, force and anxiety, are all simply painting a picture for us. Much like our words to not convey the idea we are implying but simply suggest the idea that is to be inferred by using words.
 
I annoy myself when I am too overly trusting of someone to understand what I am talking about.

It's easy to forget most people don't think like me or speak the same mind language.

Like Ritter, I'm not a linear thinker. So people tend to get confused when I talk to soon after a fresh idea hits me.
 
When I mistakenly wear my heart on my sleeve around callous people.
 
When I don't know how to help someone through a hard emotional time, even though I really, really want to.
 
Sometimes I over or under-describe something. Overly-explain myself to get the point across so there isn't a misunderstanding, but that causes me to ramble. I can write in statements, not full sentences, but then have the tendency to write run-on sentences. I write how I talk. And sometimes get my tenses wrong with certain words, or am inconsistent with keeping to a certain tense (I blame french emersion for that!)
 
Oh and I talk waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much about myself. Need to turn that faucet off sometimes.

Yeah, that is really frustrating. But when people share their heart in spite of it all, they are a beacon for restoring our faith in Humanity. :)

I kind of saw these two things as linked. Cause a lot of times people will come to me and be in pain about something and I want to help them but I just wind up talking about myself or telling old sea stories for hours. And the end I'm usually like, "well, I'm not sure if that helps but, :D"

Really? I never got that impression. I have talked to one other person on here who said he thinks he talks about himself too much and I never got that impression from him either. I do know people who talk too much, but they don't admit it. :P So I, personally, don't think you have anything to worry about there. :)
 
I know I can be more of a blessing to others by listening than talking about myself. I know what you mean Liamson, I usually talk about myself as a way to express how I relate to a person- like "something like that happend to me" and go on talking about myself. Maybe hoping to serve as an example, or to let the other person know that they aren't alone. I notice a lot of ''I's" in my posts sometimes.
 
I can relate to the ladies on this one. (listen up ladies, this guy is a catch ;)). I look back and notice grammar errors quite often, thankfully I'm self-conscious enough that I read my post immediately and I'm able to fix it in time.

I also talk about myself an awful lot, and feel like it detracts from showing that I do care about other peoples issues or opinions.

Other than that, writing in general isn't too much of an issue for me, I can write/type better than I can speak. I'm not good at the whole putting sentences together and having them come out of my mouth good thing.
