When you know you're about to say something stupid/awkward

Ever have that moment when you know you're about to say something stupid, and for some reason you go ahead and say it anyway, even though you know full well what the reaction will be? I know the smug posters will be the first to say "if you it's a stupid thing to say, then don't say it" and that it's as simple as that, but I think sometimes something can come over someone at certain times. Has anyone else experienced this?

I think I've had this happen to me enough times now to know what I'm about to do and can just about manage not to restrain myself from saying whatever it is.

 

Happens to me all the time. I just don't see why stupid things shouldn't be said.

 

Very funny.

 

Arguably funny, but unfortunately also true.

I just feel like people talk a lot of the time just to hear their own voices, and don't see why I shouldn't interject something really stupid into the conversation.

 

I do it most of the time because I say things how I see it and don't tend to sugar coat . It just shows that your being honest .

 

Sometimes it's just like, let the chips fall where they may. In my philosophy, everything that needs to be said gets said.

 

depending on the context, you can either say it anyway, or try to say nothing.
or better yet if you can, take a deep mental breath and try to edit it logically.

 

I've decided to be a good boy from now on, and now everyone is going to like me. It's so great.

 

I don't usually have the foresight to know that what I am about to say is embarrassing or stupid--it just pops out of my mouth and then the next day I am in the shower or something and it hits my like a ton of bricks: "why the FUCK did I think saying that was a good idea."

Some of those things from years ago still haunt me, as a matter of fact.

 

Just say it anyway. If you gotta sit and think about how to say something then it must be bullshit my old man told me.

 

Like a comedian once said, "I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability".

 

Nup, same. Especially when drinking.
Not that I'm mean or anything lol just dunno what's gonna come out.

 

Yeah, I'm usually pretty smart about it until I get drunk, then I'm just like "I'm going to regret saying this, but oh well."
