Sneaky sneak sneakerson (day 10 blogging with Effy Wild, but really day 11)

Well, I start ALOT of texts, messages and sentences with that word.  I'm trying to break myself of the habit. Although, if I am honestly putting my thoughts down, yeah, that's how many start.  After a crazy rampage of OTHER thoughts...I can settle and start at well.
Betcha didn't need to know all that did ya? 
Oh! And there would be many more curse words.
MANY more.
so many more.
Which I guess brings me to todays subject.  Er, yesterdays topic, since I am a day behind as I was getting ready to state earlier, starting with "well".... Well, about 11:00 last night I realized I forgot to blog, and I was going to do it right then.  Snacking happened, then sleep happened. 
Fast forward to today.  We will call this day 11, part one, since I intend to get actual day 11 in later.
Where were we?  Oh yeah, my topic! That showed up amidst my ramblings.  
How much do we edit? Speaking for myself, I know I have at least 10 other thoughts related to the one sentence I actually get out.  And those are the coherent ones. Throw in the feelings and I am almost at overload.  Is that an introvert thing?
We edit cursing (to some extent), we edit harmful words (to some extent),
we edit shadow thoughts, we edit and edit and edit until one has to wonder.....does anyone ever really see our true selves?  Hell, do WE even see it?
How much harm does editing actually do?  What if we are robbing others by doing so? Robbing them of their full experience? And shorting ourselves.
Then I start thinking, what would that look like? Everyone just saying whatever.
My mind reacts in a kind of horror at the thought.  Imagine the battles what would ensue.  And why, over some words?  Do my words always reflect my intentions, my feelings? Not at all. I filter. I edit. And it gets further filtered when it comes to actions.
Sometimes I think it a lack in our language.  But in reflecting on it, I think it more likely that in our development we are taught language, we are taught action and reaction.  What I feel like we aren't taught, or what is taught right out of us, is compassion.
Through a filter of compassion, either upon leaving the brain or being received, I believe our communications would actually be more effective.  At present it doesn't allow for.........more. The true expansiveness that is the self.

Fellow introvert here. I feel like I would always write stream of consciousness style and then I'd scare everyone away, lol!

Love this!!! I think that part of being an introvert is that there is twice as much "thinking - feeling- noticing" in our heads that it keeps us from needing outside stimuli!!! Lol! and Yes, I have to edit - A LOT!

Welllll...... damn
I’m an extrovert who probably SHOULD edit more at least when I speak. What you see (or in my case hear) is what you get. I don’t always think before I speak. I’m better when I write and edit more appropriately. I’m always trying to be a better human and editing helps me to reflect on what I’m really trying to say. I think that may be a huge difference between introverts & extroverts. Extroverts often speak without thinking then feel badly when something comes across in a manner that it wasn’t intended.

I edit my posts before I press publish, I think I over edit myself generally. I think people perhaps aren’t ready for the real me, lol
