So which one was it in this particular instance? Too silent, or should have stayed silent?
I'm the same way. If I stay silent, I'm usually trying to hold back tears or come up with some clever retort. If I say anything, I regret it instantly.
I did both today, actually. Spoke up when I shouldn't have and didn't speak up for myself when I should have. Boo.
I spoke up because I didn't care what the person in question thought of me any more. And then when I should have defended myself, I didn't because I didn't care what the person thought of me any more. So same reasoning for both actions. Ugh.
I'll speak up on this one - I'm annoyed that Blogger has changed, and I can't link to my non-blogger website on any of the blogger blogs I comment on. Yet another reason I'm happy with wordpress.
Oh, and in real life, I hate not knowing when it's appropriate to say something.
I totally get where you're coming from. I often find that I have to force myself to stay silent about certain things until I can be sure that what I'm going to say isn't just a knee-jerk reaction, but by then it's too late to say anything...
Hope your situation resolved itself!
I am the queen of this myself, so I have little advice for you, unfortunately, except to say it's nearly always worse in our heads than it actually was for real.
I've learned that, for me- the best rule to follow is to keep my damn mouth shut at any and all times. This solves a LOT of problems.
i never know the difference either... I wish I could get some kind of, like, electric fence for my mouth that would give me a tiny zap when I'm going too far!
Let me know if you ever figure that out. I could use it, too.
I have this exact problem. Gah.
i think we all have this problem to an extent. a lot of times it's not until those insert foot in mouth situations that you realize it...
A-MEN!
I think I consistently do the exact opposite.
