I have a real issue with talking without thinking about it first... I really don't try to at all, in fact, I've been actively TRYING to stop and think before I say something, but somehow I always slip up
It's not even like I say things that are rude and obnoxious... I just happen to say what's on my mind, whether it's what I'm "supposed" to say or not. I get in trouble for this tendancy at work quite often, mostly because I'm also inept at looking around and making sure that none of the walls with eyes and ears are present before talking
How is one supposed to overcome this tendancy? I try, I really do, I remind myself before walking in to think before talking even and it doesn't seem to work in the least
