mix up of similar sounding words-embarassed
So this story is about a social situation with friends, and I have often noticed or observed
that I mix up similar sounding words. It happens. Not as many times, while while I'm
speaking what happens a lot while writing, the frequency is higher there. But yeah, let's talk
about how it feels like to be in a social situation where I'm speaking about it and making
errors. It's a friendly conversation between friends and it wasn't. To triggering for me, but it
happened, so let's see what happens when. We're chilling together. We were just
decompressing for the day and we were just like taking a walk in the park and we were
chatting, having fun laughing, just generally about things that we do and all of that and we
see a one of the dogs, somebody's walking their dog around the park and somebody says,
hey. That's the dog that looks like something that we have seen. I was like, yeah. Don't you
look, don't you think that looks like dimensions and? I just blurted that out and another
friend said, oh, what do you mean? You mean dalmatians? I was like, oh, oops. Yeah. I
mean that. I'm sorry. And instantly I felt kind of stupid there. My other friends were just kind
of laughed. Like, what are you saying? Random things. Purvi, what's wrong with you? And I
felt felt quite embarrassed. And now that I think about it, I start to realize that why that is
happening, we tend to like mix up similar things. And I feel quite insecure about myself if I
have to be in. Other social contacts like office or meeting strangers where I have to be quite
careful what I'm saying. So feel a little dumb sometimes in between conversations. Not
entirely. I try to be as confident as I can. But slowly, slowly now, with all this new
knowledge of knowing that, OK, now I have something and that's the reason that's been
happening. That's a little bit assuring. So I have started to embrace. It's fine. I can make
mistakes. It's not a big deal. But being able to like quickly. Divert yourself from that
situation and move ahead is something that I do, and I also sometimes say that I'm sorry
like this is how I am. You have to deal with. Me and my friends understand that now, but it's
hard to like navigate in different complex situations. So yeah, there is another story of a
different context for sure. Thank you. Let's move to next page for emotion.
