Do you think before you speak?

[.inLOVE]

It depends. If it's someone I really care about, I usually will. I feel really bad hurt close people's feelings. However, if it's just this random jerk I don't know, I won't speak. I mean, who is he to insult me or make me feel bad? I wouldn't feel any sympathy if I hurt him/her.

But, I don't take that long. It's a really brief thought. But, yes, I still do think.

Eh, in most cases, I think before I speak. It really only takes a few moments to make sure that what you're saying makes sense, and it's better than saying something that's totally wrong or you'll regret in the long run. It's a pretty standard and smart thing to do, I'd say =]

 

[.Ozymandias]

I always try to, and I definately always think before I post anything online, because sometimes the tone of voice is what makes something funny and not offensive.

 

[Starom]

Hahahaha, I always do, only out of fear that I warble rather badly if I don't. Plus, I have a nasty habit of constantly repeating myself. XD

 

[Megaera]

I always think before a speak so that I've got the right words I'm going to say=]

 

[The Red Chain]

Yes.
Sometimes though, I do end up speaking before I think about it.
Though most of the time I think first. ^_^

 

[Vincent.]

well not always but I should think before I speak.

 

[brinazarski]

Sometimes I think, sometimes I don't =P

 

[Legobricks]

I think but then say something different that tends not to make much sense. I'm socially inexperienced in the real world.

Typing comes more natively than talking does, so naturally I'm 'better' on the Internet, where there is ample time to consider the words I string together.

 

[.MurkyBurning.]

nope
if i dont something bad usually comes out and i get in trouble for it xD

 

[Spinor]

I think A LOT before I speak.

I'm pretty much quiet in real life, but for some reason when I flirt, it ends wrong...not the good wrong ;_;.

And I guess you can say I don't think before I type. In the rare cases I think after I type, I just edit. The end :)

Sadly, no, I don't think before I type. It's been a habit of mine to say the first thing that comes to mind, even if I didn't mean it that way and probably would have worded it differently; It's also a habit of mine to rarely think through my words, only to regret it days later.
Like, for example, I have a habit of leaving out words only because I forgot about them and/or decided to move onto another word that's supposed to be right next to said work; It takes a minute or two before I realize that, from which I quickly edit it, hoping no one notices.
Now that I'm actually starting to proof-read my posts, I can easily pick up areas where I left out words, and quickly add them in before submitting them.

Thought it doesn't always help, It Isn't as bad as it was when I first joined.

As for real life, I seem to have more time to think thoroughly, so I don't make mistakes like these resurfacing everyday.

I think I take a little too much time thinking before I speak. I usually never speak without thinking first.

 

[Saryka]

Nope. :x Kind of a bad habit, considering it's gotten me in trouble many, many times. It's something I try to do now, but sometimes things slip out when they're better off remaining a simple thought.

 

[Shiny]

Honestly no, I do sometimes but not all the time

 

[Dark Azelf]

Actually no i dont and i sometimes i really end up regretting some of the things i say >.<

 

[Eon-Rider]

I rarely ever think before saying something in real life. However, online I always think before typing, especially on forums, which explains the lack of posts coming from me since 2006.

 

[Heather]

I never think before I speak. What ever comes out of my mouth I suspect people to deal with it, even if it hurts them.
I know that sounds rude but thats just how i am.

 

[Sexycheese]

Nope, for me its do now think later lol :)

 

[Azonic]

Thinking before speaking is one of the seven deadly sins for me. In other words, I never think and always say something stupid before it's detention. 8D;
