I keep repeating whatever I say...not frequently, but sometimes I get into this phase where I can't stop saying something over and over again. I don't know if it's because of nervousness or because my brain's too tired to think. I want to stop doing this because it makes me look dumb in front of people. Like I don't know how to speak properly or something. Because of this, I do find it hard to talk with other people...except close family. This happened two years ago..but I can't forget it. I had to speak in front of the class in College for an assignment and I made a complete fool of myself 'cause I kept repeating one point over and over again. I knew about the topic well, but it was like my brain froze or something. I got dirty looks from my lecturer and classmates. Maybe that was because of nervousness but I still do it :/ Do you think it's normal though?

    I don't think it's normal. I really don't. I don't think it's normal.

    Say again - kidden !
    Nerves around certain people . Hard to control , I get it too , even when I have time like in emails.
    I often email one sister for example or answer hers and you can bet that " every f'n time " I'll say the stupidest things , even repeat them as if once wasn't bad enough.
    She's a real brainiac , I admit it , I do have a bit of a complex around her.
    Get it in other situations to , like at the doctors, more brainiacs , I feel like a piece of shit around people like that .

    I think you should try to train yourself not to do this if possible. This may cause problems in your workplace and social life. But I'm sure that if you want to, you can turn this around.

    I used to have this tick in which I flinched my eyes whenever I was nervous. With determination I finally got over it. So, I think you can do the same :)

    Maybe could this be a little anxiety for which you should receive appropriate prescribed medication?
