1. I respond to things other people say with "that's true" as a reflex, even if I don't think they're true or even if they don't need affirmation

2. I use wimpy modifiers like "sort of" and "something of a" and "almost" way too much. Also the verb "seems".

3. At the end of making a point I trail off and tack on "or whatever."

that's sort of true. or whatever.

Oh, fuck. Nevermind...

(The above closer, with the combination of my propensity to start responses with "Um." are my achilles heel, BTW.)
