Have you ever been so excited that the words flew from your mouth like great tasting throw-up? I have found that I do not throw-up on complete strangers (often), I tend to do it to my closest friends and family. Is this what makes them my friends? They have tasted it and thought "It's not so bad", similar to watching a train wreck."
What makes conversation so difficult in our most extreme times of excitement and anger? It has been proven that during these times, the area in your brain that controls thought turns off and our fight or flight response takes over. The military teaches soldiers to control the physical attributes to this response. You can use similar tactics to control an unfavorable response when you speak.
The next time you find yourself in this position you have to show control (take a deep breath) and think of one spot or place in your mind that no one else can touch, your happy place (thank you Adam Sandler I will be forever grateful).
If you like throwing-up when excited you may not need the trigger for excitement and your friends might miss it.
