That was so amazing or so horrible that the person feels the emotion of being shocked and don't know what words to say about what they have just experienced or saw.

@LilChee so a situation or a thing happened could be described as speechless? I thought speechless was only to people
- English (US)
That phrase is typically seen as "That left me speechless" or "I am speechless," it is a stronger was of saying "That was awesome."

@K_Donn Thank you! Is this natural? “Hey, i think I was kinda interrupted you which wasn’t something I expected to happen. That was speechless, anyways, just wanna say that I never mean to be a third wheel or something. It’s just I have more free time these a couple of days, so when I’m on the app I basically just pop in and out different channels, hope it wasn’t much of a trouble.”

@Dailydazzie I would not use the phrase in this situation, using amazing would be better. In a casual conversation speechless is used to be slightly humorous or ironic.

"Hey, I think I kinda interrupted you, which I didn't expect. That was amazing. I just want to say, I never meant to be a third wheel or anything. It's just I have more free times these last couple of days, so when I'm on the app I basically just pop in and out of channels. Hope it wasn't much trouble."

@Dailydazzie Use "unfortunate" instead of "amazing," sorry.

@K_Donn what about the last couple of days? I just mean recently, should it change?

@K_Donn also, would “hope it wasn’t cause too much trouble” be more natural?
- English (US)
@Dailydazzie The phrases are very similar, use which ever you think fits best.
