I always mean what I say, but I don't always say what I'm thinking.

Sometimes people mistake the way I talk for what I am thinking.

There's times where you think, 'Gosh, what if nobody ever wants to hear what I have to say?'

I've found that if I say what I'm really thinking and feeling, people are more likely to say what they really think and feel. The conversation becomes a real conversation.

Beware, all too often we say what we hear others say. We think what we are told that we think. We see what we are permitted to see. Worse, we see what we are told that we see.

I realised quite early that by the time I articulate my thoughts into words, I'm on to another thought. And what comes out wasn't what I thought of exactly. So not talking was a better option.

I say what I think, and I stand behind what I say.

Sometimes I wish I was more comfortable just saying what I thought and getting my point across.

I always try to think before I talk.

Sometimes people complicate things by thinking too much about what someone might think of what they said or did.
