Jumbling words up?

[JosephG]

I've become quite hypochondriatic again (if that's a word).

At the moment I think I have a brain tumour (lol) I'll be laughing about this in a week or two. But right now it seems very believable due to a lot of symptoms I'm having or think I'm having...

anyway

Do any of you find you jumble your words up a lot? Like you'll be talking to someone or typing and you'll mean to type one word but another related word will come out? For example before I meant to type everyone and instead typed anyone. But there was more blatent ones like: I need to go and post a stamp - I mean letter.
It's called Semantic Paraphrasia and can be a symptom of brain tumour..

I'm just wondering whether anyone experiences this at all? Just to put my mind to some rest.
This type of stuff I guess is common with anxiety though.....

thanks if you read this - I am feeling quite anxious at this time

 

[kihira]

Yeah, I say the wrong word now and then without realising it until people look at me blankly

 

[Kinetik]

Yeah, god, I'm like Ozzy Osbourne sometimes. The other day I was talking about TV programs, and I wanted to say "shïtty theme tunes" but I ended up saying "thitty sheme tunes" - things like that.

I've definitely gone through this multiple times with anxiety. God, I feel like such an idiot when it happens.

 

[thor01]

Yes! Its anxiety. It happens to me when I'm talking sometimes especially if I'm in a bad mood, or anxious or both. And I often type things wrong too. Although that could partly be trying to do it too fast.

I want to talk to my microwave

Oh all the time. If I actually have to talk in a day, I will more than likely do it at least once. I will just stay the most random words in place of the words instead of what I actually meant to say. I will do it with typing too. The typing one is weird because when I think about what I am going to say and it's correct, but what is on the screen is totally different. I will also mix up the letters of words when speaking sometimes. Either way, I'm sure your head is absolutely fine, it's quite a common thing to be experienced.

I think you're OK, I like saying random words for no reason. Often they have no correlation to the conversation I am having. I think it is because my mind wanders and I try to think about other things to prevent myself feeling nervous in a social situation. Not sure about the typing thing but I am a little bit OCD over forum posts. I get very nervous before posting anything.. I fear that it will come out sounding stupid or unintelligent so I keep checking it. I checked this post about three times before posting it..

Semantic Paraphrasia and can be a symptom of brain tumour..

Oh gosh Joseph, please dont search already the worse cases what can be wrong with u i do that sometimes and this actually is bad for u if u all the time overthinking what i may damnn have it and in your head get scenarios like that.Please stop it

U are alright nothing wrong with u! I have the same and brings me many times to funny or screwed up situations because i said things wich later wonder why u say that woman do you are alright whats going on with u? Dont worry relax is nothing wrong i know sometimes is quiet annyoing but focus positively switch to positivity about it. U arent alone. I sometimes think im not enough intelligent or something, or just being silly if i wrote no sense or say no sense. We worry to much about things wich people let it be because is natural do mistakes.

 

[JosephG]

thanks everyone I feel much better!
Still I hate getting words mixed up - it makes me sound like I am an old man or something.

DespairSoul the internet is so bad when you are constantly worried about health! You can just type in symptoms and loadsa stuff comes up - it's like "I'm pregnant?!?!".... oh no wait I'm a man that can't be right haha.

hahaha yes exactly crayzy ideas we have because we dont have nothing else to do as seat on internet and search for stuff and later we are overwhelmed got do i have this?? Please stop it and if u think your health isnt alright visit doctor,but by myself i dont like doctors=( Thats why im often on an amteur hunt of sickness and later i say to myself that i really exaggerate and im being silly.

 

[thor01]

Reading things on the internet health wise causes alot of my problems, unless its something that makes me feel I'm OK haha. If my mind thinks I may have a particular mental problem Ive read, I will feel like it. I'm actually still trying to convince myself I'm OK at the minute after a while of reading possibilities about my increased anxiety.

Ha, yes, I do that! Why do those letters have to move? In the mind it is right but it doesn't vocalize properly. And of course people are listening.

Nothing like a big empty mall "larking pot" in the winter to drive and slid.

 

[lunaticbinge]

Yes I to all that the dime.

Yeah I say things like that all the time. It more funny than anything, my co-workers usually get a good laugh out of things I say. It gets worse if I'm tired, and I even develop a stutter sometimes. I usually just switch around consonants, but I substitute whole words sometimes. I went to thank someone once and instead of “thank-you” I said "murphy". They're still laughing at that one.

"I've got a tirty druck." "The bettle's koiled." "The rones phinging." I says pardon???

 

[Tiercel]

I swear that my mouth and tongue are weak from under use, since I don't talk all that much. So when I do say something, my mind moves faster than my mouth and I jumble things up. Too much caffeine or too little sleep never help, either.

Oh, and get your mind out of the gutter, those of you who read that first sentence and had impure thoughts!

 

[xlisax]

I do this all the time.
I was on the train home last year with my sister and her friends and i was trying to say caretaker(i dont know why probably some boring story!) but i could only say tarecaker, and i couldnt get it right, everyone was looking at me and no one knew what i was saying. Then it came to me 10 minutes later.
I also mix up my words all the time, and often find myself saying 'that didnt make any sense, let me start again'
Same with typing i hardly ever make sense.
I think for me its because im thinking too far ahead so it gets jumbled.

 

[Shift]

Yeah... I do that a lot, actually. Usually when I'm thinking about what to say ahead of time while I'm already talking because I get the words that I'm thinking mixed up with the ones I'm in the process of saying.

Which is why I am so much better at typing than I am at talking... I can go back and edit and change and rearrange things. Haha.
