Is it normal speaking correctly is totally throwing everyone off?

Well I decided that I needed to be a better person. I cant tell if I was better before or I am better now. Before my behavior was very mechanical as I had a calculated way of responding to things. I had a giant web of dos and do nots, and a list of responses I could give to every question, response and how to respond to every discussion.

Needless to say this puts an extreme amount of stress on someone and I eventually ended up losing it. Recently I tossed out my system, said it was worthless, said I was a terrible person and am starting over. However I did not want to appear as a complete moron so I started correcting my speech.

I started using the legitimate terms for things and took most of the "incorrect" speech patterns most people develop, out of my vocabulary. Such as "lets hang out man" which many would not understand how to phrase in any other way, since we are so accustomed to speaking this way.

I no longer have the amount of energy or effort required to make my giant web. Being on all the time was a huge amount of stress. However if you cant always have the correct response, you should at least not sound stupid when you speak. However me speaking correctly seems to totally be throwing people off. Either everyone ends up turning their heads like "What did you just say" or else people become enchanted by this. Which I find odd since I am now enchanting to people who before found me obnoxious.

    You're right. I'm pretty thrown off. I am not sure if you are trying to say that you spoke with a lot of slang and recently started speaking the king's English and now it's throwing everybody off or if you spoke the king's English and now you're speaking with slang and it's throwing people off?

    You're going to have to clarify this with me. I'm serious.

    • I started speaking properly where before I just spoke like most average people. Though that might be excluding teachers since most of them seem to have a higher vocabulary and more proper speaking patterns.

    Proper verbiage is crucial. Degenerate phrasing only leads down a deranged path.

    People talk the way they do because it's fun. It doesn't confuse people when you talk that way because they don't understand, it confuse them because you don't sound normal. Weather your under some kind of stress, a really bad actor, or your just weird, it sounds like there's something wrong with you because your acting like something crawled up your ass.
