Depression Understood Forums

I constantly find myself speaking without thinking. I dont consider repercussions or how it makes others feel. I consistently shut down people who know more about something by sounding matter of fact.

The longer this goes on the less I think I should talk at all.

It crushes my spirits like I just hurt the people I want to make happy

Maybe it's good to talk to someone close to you about this. I also do this sometimes, but if yours is affecting your relationships with people who matter and are affecting your daily life, then it's time for you to do something serious about it.

As an ADHD child turned adult, I do the same thing. That awkwardness when you see people's faces and realize it sounded better in your head. It's a big source of anxiety for me, playing conversations over in my head, nit picking my words and wondering if they were just too polite to tell me they were offended or put off. You're not alone.
