Do you think before you speak?

[Hero Kim Jaejoong]

I don't think before I speak.

[itsachel]

[Dandelion Wine]

Yes. In fact, I think so much that I eventually come to the conclusion that what I'm about to say is stupid, even if it isn't, and wind up never speaking.

[Mog]

Most times I do, but it depends on the situation. I try to be pretty rational in the way that I handle things and express my thoughts, but I've had my moments where I've failed to do that.

[Totoro]

Yes. In fact, I think so much that I eventually come to the conclusion that what I'm about to say is stupid, even if it isn't, and wind up never speaking.

This is me too...

[mytala]

Yes. In fact, I think so much that I eventually come to the conclusion that what I'm about to say is stupid, even if it isn't, and wind up never speaking.

 

I'm like this too.   

[Ogre Shrek]

Saying whatever comes to your mind without thinking, is a sign of immaturity, and not something to boast about.

 

Edit: I'm reminded of something I once read in Reader's Digest, which made an impression on me:

Before speaking, ask yourself these 3 questions: (1) Is it true? (2) Is it necessary? (3) Is it kind?

[dinolover]

^ agreed

 

it depends who im speaking with.

[Ludark]

Yes I do, although there are times when I only do it half meaning I know what I want to say, but I haven't bothered to put it in a properly formulated sentence, which generally leads to a mess.

[l u n n a]

Yes. In fact, I think so much that I eventually come to the conclusion that what I'm about to say is stupid, even if it isn't, and wind up never speaking.

Me too :[

[ruppi]

Sadly most times I don't I'm thinking while talking and then I come to the conclusion after I finished talking that it was completly rubbish ._.

[Aahlia]

Not really; that's why I end up in sticky situations a lot.

[tousle]

it depends who im speaking with.

[margarinebuttercheese]

That's even worse when I'm mad. I'll speak things that I regret after that.

[Hanah-]

I'm trying but it doesn't work when I'm having an anger attack.

[Idahoe]

I tend to over think which causes me not to speak at all, or if I do it comes out in a jumbled mess. Things change when I'm angry though.

[Otaku]

Always. Even if I have nice things to say, I prefer to keep things to myself.

[mglsts]

Yes, I do. Thinking before talking is usually the best course of action, but over-thinking is not good either.

[akisame]

No, I'm a Sagittarius, we don't possess a brain-to-mouth filter.

[Meigitsune]

If i'm speaking to friends/people I'm comfortable with, I just go with whatever comes to mind because I like to think even if it is something slightly off-the-wall crazy they won't judge me or anything for it. If it's not for someone like that, I tend to overthink what I say and say very little/nothing.

[Jongdae]

Yes. In fact, I think so much that I eventually come to the conclusion that what I'm about to say is stupid, even if it isn't, and wind up never speaking.

 

I'm like this too.  I've been trying to be more confident with what I have to say and volunteering my thoughts more freely.  Definitely helps to have people (like classmates/professors) affirm your thoughts.

[Miiko]

it depends who im speaking with.

[Nurse XIA]

Yes, sometimes too much. 

[illunnienati]

Most of the time I don't speak at all , I just hold my opinion in my head.

 

When I'm annoyed most of the time I don't . When I'm really really annoyed I just let it slip.

[Joji.]

Yes. In fact, I think so much that I eventually come to the conclusion that what I'm about to say is stupid, even if it isn't, and wind up never speaking.

Yes, sometimes too much. 

 

All of this.
