I've pissed off a lot of people I didn't mean to piss off. People get over it though, so I don't really care that much actually.

i blurt out noises or screechs or screams sometimes, its funny everybody turns around to make sure i am ok if im in a new setting, then smile as i jus flap lol, Or ill scream or screech really loudly and a lot of ppl are just use to it so they keep doing what their doing haha. however i do blurt out random stuff for no reason, i cant control it most of it. Idk if im comfortable with it or not, i dont notice, next time im going to pay more attention to see how im feeling with it heheh.

I am so incredibly confused right now, lol.

But yes, I blurt things out a lot without really thinking about it. It's not so much that I'm comfortable... I'm just not paying attention to that at the time, it just happens.

If I'm paying attention to whether or not I'm comfortable, then it makes me slower at thinking, lol, so I'm way less likely to blurt out anything....

I suppose that would mean that I HAVE to be comfortable to some extent, technically, because I'm not thinking about how uncomfortable I am at the time... I'm really not sure how to test my comfort levels on this one, so must assume I am comfortable at the time of the blurting, as long as I'm not feeling uncomfortable....

I think I just confused myself. Did that make sense?

Hmmm.... perplexing. Oh wait... maybe you are all 3 the same person? Yourself?

If not, can I be Brian, too, so I can pretend that I understand this? *grin*

i dont really blurt stuff. i'm far more likely to not say something acceptable, because i'm unsure.
but when i'm alone or with people i'm very comfy with, i will occasionally blurt out something awkward, usually giving too much info. :P. i also sometimes say something too loud when im talking to someone.......for example: my friend was drawing one of those cartoons where you flip your notebook pages...it was a tree but i thought it was a growing fetus, so i blurted out "Is that a FETUS?!" and people looked back and she got so red. XD. its funny actually i never really say anything AWFUL, though.
oh and when alone or with family, i will make noises or move oddly. just imitate stuff or keep myself occupied by chirping or something....wierd but oh well.

Sometimes when I'm thinking in words, like trying to compose an essay in my head, or trying to figure out what I'm going to say, or just playing with words mentally, I'll accidentally say a word out loud. I don't know why it happens, but it's pretty minor and almost never embarrassing. It's easy to excuse yourself by saying you are "just thinking", which is basically true anyway. This is happening more often lately. No idea why.

I used to blurt out a lot of things that caused people my age to think negatively of me when I was a kid. Sometimes I was acting on a random urge to say something deliberately absurd, sometimes it was a humor reference that the other person wouldn't get, and sometimes I was trying to fit in by putting something out that I thought another person would agree with, but it never worked. I resist the urge, for the most part, but sometimes I just let it out and it feels good. I can get away with this and occasional nodding off now a little bit when I am around people who respect me out of familiarity with my work. For example, I might let out a crazy, childish laugh or say "Let it bark!" when the context fits.

Mind if we call you Bruce? Just to avoid confusion. (All together now... Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable....) :D
