This has nothing to do with saying dumb things (not thinking before you speak).
Instead, its about how much people actually stop and think before saying things in normal, casual, everyday conversation. I personally am guilty of thinking way too much even in casual conversation so I end up either falling behind (not keeping up with the subject matter) or not saying much of anything (usually both) even though my mind is considering all this stuff that I want to say. Its almost like being a prisoner in my own mind. To others it might look like I am just mentally slow, but I'm actually carefully considering all my possible responses for efficacy, accuracy and relativeness. Why do I do this? I'm not sure but I think its probably because of some bad experiences I had when i was a kid.
Anyway, do you usually just blurt out whatever comes to mind or do you find yourself always mulling over your thoughts before speaking?
