do you ever do or say something, and then when you are questioned, even though you had a perfectly reasonable line of logic for your actions in the first place, you're so bad at gathering your thoughts and expressing yourself, that your mind draws a complete blank leading you to make up a completely incoherent and unrelated line of reasoning to save face, that people then criticize you for being so dim and unreasonable?or is it just me who is trapped in this kafkaesque reality
>>83499965No I don't think I've done this. I have trouble piercing together complex sets of data in my mind, and instead just kind of get brain fog if I think too hard. But other than that I've never made up shit in conversation to save face. This is pretty intriguing, do you have an example of something you'd make up on the spot?
>>83499965i barely talk or say stuff, so when i do it's because i can afford being questioned and i have thought about the possible questioning beforehand
>>83500551the way you describe your experience sounds exactly like what i i'm experiencing. i have that exact same problem piecing together complex sets of data. however in conversation, i don't want to be perceived as if im wrong or have nothing to say, so i either wildly misconstrue whatever it is i want to say, or say something that i don't actually believe at all but that i think fits the conversation. and when pressed further, i will defend whatever it is i just said, even if i don't actually believe in it, and i deny and refuse to concede my point. or i will try to throw a curve ball and try to steer the conversation away from whatever it is we were talking about, when i see that i won't be able to answer i think it's mostly because when i grew up i had to make up a lot of stuff infront of my mom or else id get in trouble
>>83499965yes every time, so i never say anything remotely controversial. even online when there's more time i struggle to express myself and take forever to compose replies, which usually still sound retarded
>>83500592At least you're aware of it, thats the first step to solving it perhaps.My grandmother is a pathological liar, she'll make up random stories about herself to win arguments or to make her life seem more interesting. Apparently PL's don't understand why they do it. At least you have an idea.
>>83500698No matter how much I try to better myself, not only do u have a fundamental cognitive deficience that prevents me from thinking and expressing myself normally, and on top of that I have an ego block that prevents me from admitting that I'm wrong or that I didn't know. And no matter how much I try to better myself, these behaviors seem to be in my nature
