Do U Self-Reflect EVER?

And I had a bit of echolalia as a kid. I remember I would say a sentence, then immediately whisper it to myself to make sure it sounded right.

To paraphrase Spinal Tap: a little TOO much fucking introspection, if you ask me.

OMG, people always ask me what's wrong!! I've decided I must look grumpy or something.

And the repeating thing? I whispered it to myself when I was younger, refining what I'd said. I find that I sometimes do that now, unconsiously, but out loud...to the person I'm speaking to. How annoying is that? I snap my mouth shut sometimes, thinking..hell, I just said that! Why am I saying it again with a slight inflection change. Sheesh.


Oh, and my partner does this (silently)...except he changes my responses in his repetitions. And then, is sometimes confused as to what I actually DID say.
