Nah that's totally normal. At least you aren't thinking of something funny and start laughing in class for no apparent reason like me. Part of me thinks it's embarassing, the other half keeps laughing anyway. It's fun to be weird anyway.

Well, Actually it is very common. What I do is I rehearse what I'm going to say before-hand if it is for a speech. You can also think about what you are going to say before you say it. After a while, you'll say what you wanted to say. Good LUCK!!

Oh course it's normal to say something completely irrevelant when you talk to people!

Oops, you see, I just did it! ;) The truth is, your mind blanks out from nerves, you're probably a shyer person. Don't worry, just take a deep breath and concentrate on what's been said to you! :)

Yes, Its perfectly normal nothing wrong with going totally blank. You just get nervous about making mistake and you just might have a very hard time standing up in front of people and speaking everyone get it one time or another. When you know that you have to do a public speaking exercise just relax think about something else and when it's time to go up just don't think about messing up just think about how good of a job you'll do and go for it.

That is SOOOO normal!!!! Dont worry. Clear your mind and focus on the people talking to you.

OR......

You need to talk about this to you parents and let them know you have problems with speech.

Hope I helped with your question!!!

Oh, that's definitely normal; it happens to me a lot as well! Don't worry about it -- you're just nervous, and the principal, or anybody else for that matter, probably knows that you're feeling nervous. Besides, it seems like you're polite when you reply. :D

At first I didn't get it...but then I did.

Yeah, it's VERY normal. :) Your just nervous when that happens.

I tend to be crazy with my friends, but can be shy when I meet new people.

Yes its extremely normal for people to do that when they are talking with complete strangers or random people. Its like when your meeting a famous person for the first time everything you know that doesn't involve them kind of fades away and leaves you with saying something totally irrelevant. So yes people do tend to do what you are doing.
