How often do you bite your tongue when interacting with others?

Asked by lucillelucillelucille (34325points) November 1st, 2019

Do you let your thoughts fly or are you more of a discerning type?
Is there a marked difference in how you interact in person as compared to online…particularly when you are riled up?

Never (ish).
I do have some old scars on my tongue, yeah.
And some small fresh ones, to be honest.
Usually I bite my tongue in threads with certain Jellies.
Mostly political questions, not always.

Offline, I must say, I’m more indifferent to certain people (that I work with, or that use the same grounds).
I have difficulty with boorish persons, rude persons.
Those I tend to ‘not hear’.

At work, constantly.
In RL, sometimes, depends on the person.

Here, I do with certain people. Generally I speak fairly freely here more than anywhere else.

@ucme Ohhhh, like a fluther ‘purge’.....I like it!!!!

Maybe at the end of the year so we all can start fresh for good ol’ 2020. I have the feeling we’ll need it for a Presidential election year.

haha, give the poor hardworking mods a day off. :)

I usually keep my mouth shut
Sometimes I don’t. No different if it’s live or on a Q and A site.

I am pretty close with woman who says everything that’s on her mind, to anyone present. It’s pretty wild.
