The difference with [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]] is that that trope incorporates an Outer Monologue when other characters are in the room and happen to hear what the character was thinking ''because'' he/she blurted it out. This is where they are speaking out loud intentionally, and/or if they learn nothing from the experience.
