Fear of Incohererent Rambling...
I would like to start by thanking Bjo for inspiring this thread. ssmile
Tonight a young woman Bjo, 24, shared her story and once again some of us, okay me, were put to shame. So here is a thread for anyone with a fear of rambling to post in safety. _cheesygrin:: As some of you know I suffer from Social Phobia (SP) that after spending years looking for treatment I final got under control only to have a partial relapse eight months after I split up with my partner. The reason I have started this thread is not because I have a fear of posting, but rather a fear that I am rambling incoherently. How is it possible to go from a sloppy writer (although I can actually write concisely if needs must.) to someone who fears they have lost the ability to make sense? This is called a Negative Automatic Thought (NAT) It pops in to ones mind and if we listen to it without challenge it will be joined by others until our thoughts are that jam packed with negativity it triggers a physiological response which we experience as serve anxiety. As I have said before; there is no direct pathway between thought and emotion, we think therefore we think, nothing more. Why do dogs bark? They are not barking, they are talking in dog. Obviously you don't understand the language. |

Re: Fear of Incohererent Rambling...
I have a fear of rambling.
I always worry if I'm boring people by talking or just going on and on with what I'm talking about. It's alot harder face to face with someone but on the internet it isn't so bad.

Re: Fear of Incohererent Rambling...
I think it is ridiculous that anyone would obsessively edit their posts!!!!!
{Wait......does editing posts from two months ago, and being someone that has deleted 5 pages that he wrote for the board classify me as a person who fears being a rambler? ;] {Awww man...I know I could have said this in so many fewer words!!!! This post is subject to change!} PS- This has been edited once already! |

Shy guy Wrote:I did not think of it last night but do you have a fear of rambling in Danish too. :wink: Well that is a good question... I do worry more about making sense and so on when I am writing in English simply because it is not my first language and because I often fall short of finding words to express what I really want to...that means that I often need to simplify my initial intended utterance in order to be able to communicate my meaning. In Danish I don't have to worry about that...but then there are other worries (aren't there always? :lol ![]() I don't really know which is worse. Are you a native speaker Shy guy?
