I need to get this cold checked out :love:
I mumble because my brain cannot formulate the words necessary for a thurough and accurate representation of my thoughts in the time usually expected for a reply.
See that, above? It's exactly how I feel on the subject, but it took me two minutes to write. Imagine asking me that question at a social gathering and watching me stare at you for two whole minutes before I respond. That's why I mumble.
+I'm to lazy to formacate what I say anyway.Quote:

I'll mumble for no more than five seconds. I gather my thoughts into verbal communication quite quickly. I usually only speak when something needs to be said, however. I'm more of a visual member of society.
I don't usually say anything unless I've given it a couple seconds to consider whether it's worth saying. People tend not to like standing there with huge awkward pauses while I think, so sometimes I'll say something neutral to fill the gap, to at least communicate the fact that I'm interested in having a conversation. I assume that a lot of people do this.
So ditto Del Murder, except it took me about79 minutes to type this, and I had to start overtwicethree timesfour times.
And that's the best way to go about things, in my opinion. Offline, I hardly say anything unless I'm desperately trying to have a meaningful conversation with someone like - say - my good friend Matthew (as outlined in the first post of this thread). Online, however, it's easier to type a page full of meaningless drivel than it is to say it.Quote:

It's people like YOU I feel weird in public!
Person like Rainecloud: So, Rowell, how about the JETS!!!!!!
Me: Oh.... I guess?
PLRC: So, Rowell, how'd you do on that last test?
Me: Oh, I got a ___
PLRC: Yep.... *Stretch* Hm...
Me: *Eyes move around frantically and feels awkward*
PLRC: So Rowell, do you have a job?
Me: Nah.
PLRC: Um...
Me: Yep....
I have a low voice, and people accuse me of mumbling all the time. "...those a-holes..." :p
I sort of agree with Del, except my problem is usually the opposite. My mind works at light-speed coming up with things to say, and my poor mouth has a hard time keeping up. It really sucks when my mind goes: SAY THIS! NO, WAIT, SAY THIS! and my mouth, already working as fast as itcoherentlycan, switches responses in midword. It snowballs from there. :( :confused: :hyper: :blahblah:
That's why I like forums. I was never a spammer, but I wasn't the most coherent kid on the block, either, when I first joined. But once I realized I had plenty of time to slow down and edit what I was saying (thank God for PREVIEW POST), my posts (IMHO) started getting smarter and more coherent, and better thought-out, and some things I realized were pointless and ended up never posting. I wish we could do that in real life. The world would be in a lot less trouble that way.
BTW, I used the PREVIEW POST button on this about five times.
