Does anyone else have this problem - when someone asks you something and you have your thought in your head but when it actually comes out it's not what you were trying to say. WTF??? I have been noticing things that I have been doing all wrong since I have been diagnosed. You really don't realized how messed up you are until someone tells you. A long life of f***ed upness (don't know if a word...don't care). It does explain a lot of things that have gone wrong in your past. Just wondering if others notice the same thing???

That's happened to me...not usually if I have a chance to think about it tho. Usually if it's gonna happen, it's sort of an unplanned response to a question...and the words won't or can't fit and I just mumble something.

If it's after thinking about it....then if I f**k it up, it's because I can't find ANY words period. So I try to substitute which doesn't always work.

Of course, then I have days where I am brilliant. The most amazing conversationalist, the most clever wit on the planet.......................then I wake up. And I've hit the low end of the see-saw. Again.

Yep, usually only when I'm under pressure/ stressed.

I also have the worst trouble with word salad when I'm angry. Just any ol' word comes out and nothing makes sense lol

I love that!!! 'word salad' ...how perfect!!!

I think that many people when enraged or very angry get the words messed up at times. I don't know if you mean exclusively when you're in an angered state or not but if so, it's quite understandable.

I have made the same mistakes at tiems but truthfully I can be a pretty rational person in my thinking and say what i mean in a heated debate but at such point as someone does push the apocalyptic buttons that trigger me, I will say those are the times when I tend to say things I don't mean just to one up the other person. Of course most of those times, I know what I'm saying too, I just know that what I'm doing is wrong.. but at that state, I don't care anymore.

Not sure if I'm even speaking to your original post or not but yeah.. there it is.

Like today at my job interview. I believed I would say something thoughtful when I opened my mouth. But it came out like I was rambling and beating around the bush!
