The guy who says "I just speak my mind" has never once considered that his mind might benefit from an editor. Or a fact-checker. Or a moment of silence. Just one. A single moment of not speaking his mind. As a treat.
@Daojoan Remember, Before speaking you mind, put Brain in gear.
@Daojoan You're not... 'Telling it like it is' , are you?
@Daojoan "I just speak my mind"
Look inside
It's empty
@Daojoan
that guy: "I just call 'em like I see 'em!"
me: bruh, let me refer you to my optometrist. she's very good.
@peachfiend @Daojoan That's a pretty big word, though. Perhaps better just to say, "Then you need glasses."

@Daojoan I learned as a kid that people who don't learn to shut up end up dying more often. Least in real life anyway. Idk if there's really any truth or research for it, but I've seen "noisy people" end up in fights more often, I guess.

I took that literally and people throughout my life especially during my high school years asked me why I'm so quiet, and they told me "I should speak some more", "loosen up" and "make some friends".

I just nodded and kept quiet. I think they got the idea.

@Daojoan

Whenever I hear people with "I say what I like" I immediately hear " And I like what I say."

@Daojoan I have heard a few women say this too, usually as the prelude to a massively racist diatribe
@Daojoan A second thought would be helpful too
