but… and…
i have this bad habit of ending my sentences with but or and when i speak. whenever i talk to people, sometimes i just trail off with “blah blah blah, and…” and that’s it. that’s the end of my statement. i’m surprised people don’t yell at me about this. i would find this really annoying. still confused as to what this looks like? i’ll try to give an example:
some dude: hey enoch, what’s going on?
me: oh, nothing much, classes are going well and…
[long awkward pause]
some dude: yeah so, i started a new job this week
so this is how a lot of my conversations go. i dunno what it is, i just can’t figure out the rest of my sentence, or maybe i just want to talk so much that i try to start a sentence even though i know i can’t finish. gosh, so annoying. how can i fix this? talk more? talk less?
