Sometimes, and for no particular reason, I say something out loud. I’m not sure if this is some sort of manifestation of Tourette’s, it isn’t usually anything obscene, I sometimes surprise myself and am left wondering why I said it as it seems to have no relevance to anything. I also count under my breath as I’m walking, sometimes people hear me mumbling and I’m immediately embarrassed. I’ve always done this, but only recently come to the conclusion that it might be an autistic thing…anybody else do this weird stuff?
when thinking about stuff or stressed maybe... i do blurt out things out loud and they can be more likely bad things that will get me demonised and hated if heard. it seems to be a salve for a troubled mind, to randomly blurt out the most offensive thing automatically. the more taboo the thing you blurt out the more it seems to attract the automatic blurt out and the more taboo the more it soothes your mind for a tiny period.i often find that thinking on things i have done that makes me feel cringe or feel regret would also provoke this blurt out of a random offensive word. but luckily controlled more in public, in private without expending the effort i let it go ham... control can slip when stress is high enough or when i am in a public toilet in a cubicle taking a piss, perhaps the cubicle makes me feel im in a private space and sets my mind in that lower energy mode of not needing to restrain itself too much.
I also blurt under stress or cringe. Sometimes it's just fragments of sentences or things I think might have made the conversation better.
