Saying stupid things

Post Reply New Topic

Do you say stupid things when you're trying to be intelligent or funny and then realise the reason people didn't understand was because you were talking nonsense. For example I often get facts wrong when I quote then to people and they usually say I though it was actually ... then I feel stupid because I realise I was talking rubbish and if I'd have thought about it for a minute or two before saying it I would never have said it or I would have said the correct fact not a wrong one.

Also do other people/NTs remember these mistakes that I make because I remember them many times a day for the following few weeks, and if they do remember them do they just think I sometimes say some odd things or do they think I'm stupid.

I don't get things factually wrong, but I can relate to saying stupid things when you're trying to be funny, or just trying to find something to say during an awkward lull in the conversation.

In fact, after looking through all my sent messages on OkCupid earlier today (only 4-5 attempts in 8 months), I think I understand why I only got one reply until now. My "ice-breakers" were somewhat stupid, but the real offense is that they sound too... unnatural. Like most of my conversations, now that I think about it...
