Poll: Whats wrong with me?

Due recent events (both here and in real life), it has come
to my attention that I dont think things through before I
say them. I offend everyone at work, and random people in
public. I think it might have to do with a combination of
being

1. brutally honest
2. jerk
3. wiseass-jokester
4. insensitive
5. moron (which includes speaking without thinking)

Actually most of these would probably be solved if I worked
on #5. However (in all honesty) if I actually shut up and
thought about what I was about to say, people would really
think I'm wierd, or slow because (I swear to god) it would
take me about 20 seconds to 10 minutes to think through my
answers/comments before announcing them out loud.

So my question is this:

Should I...

1. Not repress myself and keep doing what I'm doing and end
up apologizing/clarifying for everything later?

or

2. Force myself to really think about every possible
misinterpretation of my speech in order to make everyone
happy but myself?

(i'm sure I allready fucked up this thread and will be shown
my mistakes very soon, but thats okay, because I suppose
I'll learn what not to do, for future reference)

There's nothing wrong with you because you're big enough to
recognise when you've been a bit of a jackass, which us
something we all do, all the time. Don't go changing.

you sound just like me in some ways. i don't think you're
stupid at all, you probably just need to really take into
consideration how people may react depending on the
situation - think before you say something.

i'm not totally sure what the answer is, but i have a
feeling it's a combination of both.

and the bleeding is unsightly - isn't there a treatment for
that?

It has come to my attention that I do not receive enough
attention and flattery. I need an ego-boost, but I can't
admit it to myself. Hence I will assault myself with
exaggerated self-deprecation in desperate hope someone
contradicts me:

1) I suck
2) I'm stupid
3) I can't get an erection
4) I have a permanent over-abundance of earwax

Now I will ask a pointless question in a futile attempt to
award this thread some legitimacy: shall I part my hear
behind? do I dare to eat a peach?

yeah i know, its starting to get outta control. The bleeding
that is.

As for being offensive, its like, whatever the majority is
in the room, I have to counter it. For example:

A bunch of Christians are in the room discussing how great
jesus is and stuff. I actually dont care, but since I'm
physically there and having to deal with it, I'll balance
things out by going "Jesus sucks" just to see what happens.

Thats just one point.

A different example occured last weekend with a girl. She
was all over me but then said "I dont think I should do
this" and I asked "why" and she didn't know. So i gave her
the old motivational speech of "life is too short. before
you know it you'll be 60 and no one will want you" Thats
pretty borderline offensive, and I realized it pretty
quickly and said "i'm just kidding, i have a strange sense
of humour, you'll be a very beautiful girl until you're 60"
(i lied about it, but thats besides the point). Anyways all
she heard was "no one wants you", but I didn't even find
this out until after she kissed me and left and then I had
to hear about it from her sister. I felt shitty because I
upset her sister who is pretty cool, but yea... I ruined
everyones night that time, all because I said something
(slightly) stupid.

that christian thing is pretty ass. (and i'm not a
christian)

pretty disrespectful. i'd say perhaps exercise the 'if you
have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all'
rule slightly.

just because you think something doesn't mean it has to be
heard.

I dont honestly believe Jesus sucks. Its just that I like
seeing people react. Because I think for a split second that
they might question it and go "hey does jesus suck?". It
kinda shakes them out of their mindset, even if its brief.

close, i'm actually Italian.

---

another thing is, I think I'm actually waiting for the
christians to just laugh and ignore me, because then when
that happens, I'm satisfied that the world is becomming a
better place.

For instance, if happy cycling we're to call me a hairy wop,
I would laugh my ass off, 1. because its true, 2. because I
believe that to rid of racism, we have to not be offended by
racist comments.

It will be a great day when I can point at a African
American eating fried chicken and saying "nigga, you need
some purple drink to wash that down?" and he doesn't kill
me.

Most Christians would, actually, except they're not as easy
to recognize as Christians because they don't spend every
minute of their lives talking about it. As far as I can
tell, zany "Christian" fundamentalists are more widespread
in the US than here, though, so YMMV.

This part of the country is about 75% nonreligious, and
being Christian means having to deal with various kinds of
teasing - but I've never seen anyone not handle this
reasonably and sanely. For example, there was a Catholic in
my Greek course, and he had to put up with gentle poking
both from the nonreligious and the Protestants among us, but
it was always well understood that it was all in good fun.
Or one religion/music teacher we had, whose courses were
always full of people not taking them seriously; he always
dealt with it in the most friendly manner imaginable. Less
pleasantly, some jerk on a small message board where I was
an admin wrote a lengthy and bizarre post insulting me for
going to church (and playing an instrument), but I think he
was just looking for things to hurl at me because I'd
stopped him posting pr0n. (On a different, only slightly
related note: there was a group of people in school who were
constantly trying to offend me by yelling "Jesus!" at me,
presumably because of my appearance and because they'd heard
somewhere that I'm a Christian. I'm still not sure why they
thought that would make a good insult.)

I suppose my answer to your question is: try not to offend
people, but mostly in the sense of "don't try to offend
people". Think before you speak, but not so much that you
don't get around to the actual speaking. And stuff. I don't
know you too well, but FWIW I don't think I've ever been
offended by one of your posts here.

I like the friendly christians. They have a smile on their
face when they damn you to hell. It makes it much more
palatable to listen to their bigoted, racist views.

The only halfway intelligent thing I've read in this thread
so far is from r40f.

I can't believe some of the closed-minded things people here
say, (maybe about other supposedly closed-minds) even if
they are joking.

It is one thing to form a generalisation of people, or to,
inside yourself, consider them as being less than totally
open-minded, but to completely disregard a vast
opinion/theory/a person's beliefs entirely, and write it off
as being a load of shit, even though you offer no
explanation more than their's, is just about as close minded
as them not listening or accepting your beliefs because they
differ from theirs.. etc... etc...

"BLAHBLAHBLAH. No, my beliefs are entirely proovable."

BLAH BLAHBLAH Nope.

If someone called me Jesus i guess i wouldnt view it as an
insult. The man did many things that were great and he was
positive.

Its a pretty big compliment. :)

I think all you need is a good ass-beating. Once you point
that stupid mouth of yours at the wrong person and they beat
the living shit out of you, you will see the errors in your
ways.

It will just be unfortunate for you that you will be
horribly disfigured AND bleeding from your anus, so nobody
will talk to you anyway.

I'd try to change your ways. I'm the same way, silly stuff
just sprays out of my mouth haphazardly. I don't care, but
it has affected me ''negatively''.

I think slowly when I'm with people I don't know. I don't
understand people enough, I can't accurately judge how
they're going to react to what I'm going to say.
