There are definitely degrees of severity: the more emotional I am (in pretty much any direction, I think), the less resemblance the phrasing that comes out of my mouth bears to the phrasing it had in my head. (Which has many times led to vicious cycles: start off upset, then get *more* upset by people taking my words at their precise literal meaning, as if I could *possibly* speak precisely and literally at a time like *that*. Sometimes by people who have known me for decades and surely ought to have started adjusting for this *eventually*.)
