    (Me, shy and introverted, introducing myself)

    Them: oh that’s my dog’s name.

    Me: cool. Cool cool cool. Cool.

      Same scenario, but they’re hot AF.

      (Me, shy and introverted, introducing myself)

      Them: oh that’s my dog’s name.

      Me: cool. Cool cool cool. Cool.

      (Them being hot doesn’t change things.)

    I constantly find myself having verbal diarrhea with no filter. Today I tried encouraging a friend whose three year old son wants to wear dresses every now and then and she is unsure how to feel about it by, gloriously, saying that I think Frank N Furter is incredibly manly and sexy and Kurt Cobain wearing night gowns on stage is amazing and I’m totally into cishet men wearing women’s clothes.

    I died as the words came out of my mouth and I will never be able to sleep again.

    Whenever I manage to keep myself from saying shit like that I silently applaud myself because it’s really hard and each time I keep my mouth shut is a win for humanity.

      I feel you. I’ve gotten better at it, but recently had a much older woman flirting with me at a bar. She led into some story with, “Well, I’m much older than you, but…” to which I casually, mindlessly, obliviously, effortlessly, and to both of our near-instant horror, interjected a supportive-intended, “…obviously…”

      In real-time now:

      Her: “Well, I’m much older than you, but…”

      Me: “Obviously.”

      She was literally stunned silent. Then me, too.
