sigh. I tried to use complete sentences yesterday. but what I learned is that I do not think when I speak. Something which friends and family had known for years.
Is there some kind of self-help book for this? What is the baby-step here?
am I supposed to construct the sentence in my head before I speak it? Do I consider the possible impact before I say it? This sounds like the work of a small life time and something I should have started on years ago. Its a bit late now. I'm thirty-two.
so again, same goal. Different day.

Applesauce!
Well, thinking before you speak probably does come with a bit of practice. Being somewhat of a loner and insecure as a child I spent a lot of time having conversations in my head before they actually occurred. I think this probably led to getting into the habit of thinking about what I'm going to say beforehand. For practice you could try re-reading your posts/emails a couple of times before they are posted/sent and think about, "Will this have the intended outcome? Does this get my message across?"
