can't get out what I'm trying to say

[cowboyup]

Sometimes I can't say the words or form a sentence, even though I know what I want to say, it just doesn't come out and I try my best to get what I am trying to say, out, but when I speak, my mind goes blank and then all I can do is speak parts of a sentence and it's up to the other person to 'interpret' what I am trying to say.

For example, my brother asked me about my textbooks for this semester and I tried to answer his question, knowing full well of what I am trying to say, but the words weren't there and I just got more frustrated the more I tried to spit out what I was trying to say.

Then he asked if I 'feel ok'.... I mumbled yes, I just can't get words out right now' He finished with, 'ok, we'll talk later'

I feel like such a fool I wanted to cry!

Does anyone ever have this happen, if so, what is it? And why is it becoming increasingly hard for me to concentrate to finish the simplest of sentences?

I always have this whenever I have to verbally defend myself in an argument, or when I have to explain something to someone. I perfectly know what I'm trying to say, yet I can never find the right words to get my point across. It's really quite frustrating...

@Im not there - it is so frustrating, isn't it? I don't even have to be making a point, or in the middle of an argument trying to defend myself, ordinarily it happens just in everyday conversations - but not every time.

Brain and mouth don't connect well.

lol, good way to put it!

I speak in broken sentences. When people ask me a question, I answer with short phrases. Speaking in long sentences (or multiple sentences) can trip me up and make me stutter. I also tend to use vocal "fillers" such as "uhmmm", "oh", and "like". I speak like a 15 years old.

I know where everyone is coming from , I know what your going through and im actually outside smoking a cigarette while my wife and best friend are watching tv.... I constantly fight this everyday when it comes to speaking to anybody, I cant never truly say what im thinking! I know what to say if a question is asked to me but inside of my head. I tend to drag on a simple question because I cant get the words out! Right now I just want to be alone and away from others I would get into my car and drive but doing so would cause a fight so I just isolate myself and in about an hour from now I will be confronted by my wife asking me wtf is your deal? She doesn't understand and I wish she did....
