Saying the wrong thing

[Rint]

I was wondering how to stop saying dumb things and the wrong thing. I dont think i have this problem, but alot of people who have this problem ask me. Out of sympathy i'd like to help them. Any advice guys? THANX!

It always depends on the situation. Don´t worry, pain is a great teacher. You´ll eventually learn when to shut up once you gain maturity and life experience.

That is some good advice, but i wanna learn how to say the right and cool thing or the funny thing at the right time cause what u say in a situation determines how people view u.

Rint, there is nothing in this world that is not based on reaction. What I mean is that you have to program yourself to react funny, to say funny things. It's quite impressive the amount of work behind a stand-up comedy.

I think you should look for the book "Comedy writing secrets - Melvin Helitzer"

Confidence. Generally people only say stupid and dumb things when they are nervous and trying to get a laugh out of someone or impress them.

Unless your being racist, homophobic, overly sexist or deliberately insulting, you shouldn't care what you say. People aren't going to remember it forever.
