    I usually say something random out loud or sing or make some noise, almost involuntarily, when some embarrassing memory pops up. Almost like some involuntary defense mechanism my brain distracting itself.

      I have this one too. Usually it's a swear word or a word from somewhere else in the thought stream before it blew up.

        word from somewhere else in the thought stream

        yeah it's often exactly that for me, this thread is kinda weird because I never thought to talk about this specific phenomenon with anybody lol

          Neither did I tbh. I figured it happened to other people but I don't generally talk about it in person. I'm glad my description resonated with you - it's a weird quirk that I actually feel gives a bit of insight into how my train of thought works.
