The Truth Is In There! [Your Brain!]

I convinced myself the other night that I had spelt the word "out" wrong, no matter how I looked at it, it just looked like a ridiculous ensemble of letters. :rolleyes:

Yeah it's like when you say a word over and over and it loses all meaning and just becomes gobbledygook.
 
Or when you're talking and, mid-sentence, you go to say a word that you forget. But you know it, and you know you know it, but it just doesn't come. Then the whole scene, the whole speech drifts down into a horrible black pit amongst nervous listener's.
 
oh yeah especially when it happens in a presentation, you knew it all 5 minutes ago but for some reason the only words that you can think of are banana hammock, and you can;t think of a situation where saying that could every improve things :(

there was a guy in our old school who repeated the last word repeatedly when he got stuck, was really surreal as he did it quickly with exactly the same tone etc was like a cd skipping :p

I was just sitting here, thinking (as you do), and I came to realise that people don't really tell the truth about the things they're really thinking about.

For example, when you see a friend staring into the distance, eyes glazed, and you ask 'What are you thinking?', and you get the usual 'Oh, nothin'!'. But it's not true!

Haha! I used to know a guy who actually spoke like he was a radio presenter, and he sounded like you were actually listening to him through speakers. :p

That happened to me about six months ago. The word was 'perpetuity' - it was awful - luckily it was only a one-to-one. When the other person helpfully finished the word off for me, I thanked them, but secretly wanted to smash their face off the desk :D
 
to be perfectly honest, if you ask me what i'm thinking about when i'm sitting staring in to space the answer will always be nothing, if i've reached the point that i'm just staring my brain has practically shut down, i literally am not thinking, it's like i'm asleep but awake (quite often happens at work :p)
 
(I'm always banging on about this but...)

I used to be quite bad for letting my mind just run away with it's self and sometimes thats not healthy. Learning to control your thoughts and being able to switch them off when not required can be a liberation.

I definitely believe you should be in control of your thoughts, they shouldn't control you. Most of the ills in the world are related to people listening to the thoughts in their head and believing them without question...especially the stuff we tell ourselves about ourself.

People think this is pretty normal but is it? There are plenty people who are deemed to be mentally ill who talk to themselves, but most of the difference between them and us is just that they vocalise everything they are thinking.

Imagine you vocalised everything.....as an onlooker what would you think?
