Sometimes… my brain is weird.

i’ll be having a conversation, right? And the other person asks me a question. instead of thinking through a response, my brain puts up this message with two responses (generally, one super direct and/or sarcastic, and one more muted and compassionate.) and demands that i choose before speaking can be initiated. if i don’t choose, i can’t process words to speak. and if i’m caught off guard, when i do choose, i sometimes stumble over my words.

Does anyone else experience this??
