Picture you're having a convo with someone. You open your mouth and a sentence starts...but you realize that finishing the thought out loud would NOT be a good idea.
(Like, they wouldn't receive it well, you realize it'd be embarrassing, there's someone nearby you don't want to overhear this, etc).
In these situations, what do you USUALLY end up doing?
1) Finish my sentence as intended, idc about the consequences tbh
2) Finish my sentence as intended, cuz I brainfart my mouth moves faster than my brain. I regret it.
3) I smoothly change the direction of the sentence. No one notices anything amiss.
4) I awkwardly change the direction of the sentence. Convo partner def notices that's not what I initially planned to say
5) I completely pause speaking while I panic & then save it by pretending I lost my train of thought/suddenly forgot what I was gonna say
6) I do all of the above fairly equally
7) I usually don't do any of the above cuz I often don't realize what I'm saying could be received poorly, until loooong after it's left my mouth
8) I usually don't have to do any of the above cuz my perception & charisma are maxed and I am rarely at risk of this situation
