Today, I blurted out something like "humdidumdum erm lalala" in public, attracting mystified stares. The thing is, I do this every time I remember something embarrassing I've said or done in the past, in an attempt to erase it out of my consciousness. So it happens a lot. FML

Is that by Skrillex? So, you do an embarrassing thing in the present to erase embarrassing things from your past? Looks like you've set up an infinite loop.

Dafuq? I'm sorry, just try and train yourself to forget those embarrassments and do it in private. In your house, or your room. Good luck OP!

I think you should try something like " computer, erase all embarassing data, pronto"...especially effective if you wear a bluetooth headset and mirror shades....

I do it too. I think that it's an attempt by my brain to break out of the memory and get back to the present. I tend to vocalize only when I'm alone or with family. It might be a noise repeated many times ("buh-buh-buh-buh-buh...", or swearing ("F*ck-F*ck-F*ck-F*ck-F*ck...), or occasionally a sing-song bit of nonsense. No idea why my brain does it like that. Bad brain!

I'm actually really excited to see I'm not the only one who does that. FYL, op. I know exactly how you feel. If someone hears it, I clear my throat like that's what I was trying to do in the first place. It makes me feel better even though I still look weird.

I think only medication can fix that...

I do the same thing! But I make faces with it too.

I do that to and sometimes I say "zowie" because it's my dogs name.

When that happens to me, I put the thought in a bubble in my head, and I place explosives from bombs to nukes around the bubble. I then completely blow up that bubble it helps me often, and sometimes I even permanently forget those moments :).
