This is something thats really been bugging me lately and I've never noticed how bad it was until recently. For some odd reason when I'm trying to talk to people I can never articulate or connect my thoughts.
For instance Ill be trying to tell someone a story or trying to describe something to them but I can never do so coherently in a way that makes sense. Everytime I try to I either jumble my words,have long pauses, or end up saying something stupid and out of context. On top of that I never really get my point across and by the time I'm finished talking the person listening has completely lost interest in what I was trying to say. Before talking I usually have an idea of what I wanna say, but then when I go to speak my mind starts racing and I can't think things through clearly.
That isn't my only problem with communicating. Often times I struggle to find things to say in social situations because my mind constantly draws a blank. All of this has prevented me from making and maintaining friends. Instead of trying to be outgoing I've become painfully shy and reserved.
Whenever I look around I see that this type of thing is a non issue for everyone else and it really frustrates me. I think to myself what do these people have that im lacking? It just feels like I have this huge mental block that I cant get over. Can anyone else relate to this?
