Biting Your Tongue Before You Dig An Even Deeper Hole
That’s the final word on all the ridiculous things we utter just to keep the conversation moving or to avoid a total social meltdown. 🚫🗣️ If these quotes reminded you of a specific “foot-in-mouth” moment from your past, take comfort in the fact that everyone else is too busy worrying about their own embarrassing stories to remember yours. 👣👄 Communication is a tricky business, and sometimes the best thing you can say is absolutely nothing at all—though that doesn’t make for a very good blog post. So, keep talking, keep joking, and remember that if you can’t say something nice, at least make sure it’s funny enough to get a laugh! Now, go forth and tell someone something they didn’t need to know—just try to keep it under the legal limit for awkwardness! ✌️😎📢✨
