Freudian slip

[Angel_325]

Hi all,

 

I have a general question. Do you think if a guy accidently calls his girlfriend by the name of another girl that he knows very well and hangs out with often (girlfriend of his best friend), is that weird or would you just call it an innocent mistake. Just wondering.

I did that.

 

Once.

I don't think it's that big of a deal.

 

Yeah, it is hurtful to be called by another girl's name, especially by your bf, but I call people by my dog's name all the time....

 

Seems like an innocent mistake.

Innocent mistake. I called my current bf my exes name. He was annoyed but I meant nothing by it at all.

unless its while they're doing it then its a little worrisome. hahahaha.

i did that once 'first one to have sex with kobe[a mate]...' was what i meant to say, but i accidentally said the name of my crush ^^;

[Nixee]

Reminds me of that line from Clerks I think it was.. "people say crazy things during sex... one time I called this chick 'mom'!"

 

 

Yeah... I know they call it a Freudian slip for a reason... but I'd try not to place too much importance on it or worry too much unless you see other 'symptoms' present. The mind works in funny ways.

I do psychology, a Freudian slip means nothing, its just your unconsious overlapping with your consious mind and since our speech centre is only recently evolved, our subconsious takes over with a word or phrase of something that still lingers there. Its just a slip of the tongue named because Freud discovered it. Or at least coined it

Nah, I wouldn't worry about it. For literally one month, one of my friends kept calling everyone in our group 'Jessie', which is the name of one friend. They just spent a lot of time together, so she kept making the same name mistake.

 

And an old friend's ex-boyfriend started calling her by my name, but it really meant nothing (even though she was kinda ticked). It's just your mouth moving faster (or slower?) than you brain, really.

Oh my god..I have done that too!! I have even told people "sit" rather than saying "have a seat".

Probably the worst thing I've done is not learned someones name but then too much time has passed so that it's awkward to ask them what there name is.

 

So, I spent like two weeks avoiding saying this guy's name till FINALLY someone called him by it and I found out what it was.

^ I've done that a lot. Had a driving instructor whose name I never ever found out, and he taught me for about 4 months. And a guy at uni I got along really well with but didn't have a clue what his name was. Had to listen to the register to find out lol.

 

Don't worry about it. Freudian slips are just slips. Someone else mentioned calling people by their dog's name. I get called by pretty much every family member's name, the cat's name and, strangely, 'elephant' before my dad gets it right. And I am CONSTANTLY calling either my boyfriend by my 2 year old nephew's name, or vice versa. Which I find quite amusing really, hehe.

i've done it only to girls i don't know well. never to an official gf though.

My ex called me his ex's name early on in our relationship, and it was right after we'd had sex. I let it pass though. She was the big love in his life before I came along, and we hadn't been together that long. I cut him some slack on that slip. It never did happen again.

[eaglesnutter]

innocent mistake.. i cant do that, my boyfriend`s name is the same as my ex`s name!

[lana111]

ive done it and it meant nothing at all. sometimes ive don it bc the person was in my thoughts, but not sexually or anything.

[greywolf]

just a mistake. I sometimes call my friends babe by accident. It's really embarrassing.

me and my guy friends do this on purpose. it's hilarious in front of people you don't know.

[SpeedingCars]

LOL @ calling people your dog's name. That's priceless.

[Jayar]

I often accidentally call a guy by my dog's name. Not during sex, but you know in general... It's no big deal.

 

Edit: Oh, I see I am not the only one!
