26 year old here. Happens constantly. I really wish reality would let me kinda pause time for a second like in a video game, so I have time to weigh up my options. Tbh tho, I'd probably still end up regretting things I've said
I'm getting better though. I can have a conversation with most people and most likely not say something completely fucking retarded. But there are times I say dumb shit and end up reliving those moments constantly in my head.
Give me that quick save/load function
One thing you can do for a pause in the conversation, is simply to put a thoughtful look on your face and stroke your chin for a moment while you figure out the best answer. This way the person you're talking to knows that you were listening, so they don't feel ignored, and it gives you that moments pause you need. Plus, bonus, sometimes they think you're smarter and more thoughtful than you actually are.
Or just be honest and say "I need to think about it." Wins hearts and minds big time.
