I have so much trouble "brain to mouth". iin?

I see things perfectly clearly in my head but when I try to express my ideas to others it doesn't go nearly as well as it should. It bothers me so much because I'm very intelligent but what good is it if I can't communicate??

IIN? How can I improve?

    I have similar problems. So do my sisters actually, although there's are a bit different to mine. For me, some of it's just simple jumbling up words. Like saying I'm in the food for mood or just something small like that. Sometimes it's more obvious and I end up saying something which doesn't make much sense. Other times I find it hard to put my thoughts into words.

    Sometimes it's just a case of working out how I actually feel about something in my head first and understanding it, rather than just feeling it, and then it becomes much easier to put into words. I guess that means I'm pretty slow, but my brain just seems to work that way. I'm not sure what your problem is exactly, but maybe just having a bit of a think about it might help, which is pretty simple advice and I'm sure you're doing that anyway.:/ I'm not majorly fantastic at stuff like verbal communication and it's not uncommon for people to think I'm stupid, so you're not the only one, if that's any reassurance:P.

    My school thought something was wrong with me when I was in grade school because of this. I really don't like talking because I sound like a typical dumb blonde who isn't even that blonde. I've made myself become introverted D:

    I have this problem, too, to a very large extent, especially when speaking aloud. I forget to mention information that's important to what I'm saying, I phrase things poorly and have to go back, and sometimes I just can't figure out if words for what I want to say even exist.

    You've got me thinking about how this could be improved, though. I'm going to look into it, and if I find something, I'll let you know. If you want, you can send me an email at [email protected] and I'll reply with links if I find anything good.

    Are there any topics or kinds of ideas you have particular trouble talking about?

    i have the same problem, but if you have insurance or enough money you could probably go to a professional or something that could help you.

    That's what you call "Expressive Aphasia".

    I use to be a lot worse when I was younger. I at times would blurt out something completely different from my thoughts. Also my mom told me that I use to cry all the time because my words wouldn't come out and I wanted them too so badly. I would be rocking in my chair sucking my thumb crying; that's how bad it was. Plus I had terrible Dyslexia added onto that. :\ I sure got picked on in school a lot for not being able to communicate well.

    Thank goodness I have the wonderful parents that I have and they had me tested quite a bit and take speech classes. I still have troubles communicating which I can tell for sure but a lot of people tell me they can't tell.

    I'm a prime example. I can type my ass off in a clear voice, but when i try to communicate my words are shit and sound like a retard.

    be more self consious. If youre not the problem could be in your childhood that people didnt respect your ideas even though you blieve in them which most likely didnt really boost your consiounce. best of luck in the future im just saying :P

    I have this problem too and it makes me have to stop for a minute and actually think out what I am going to say to properly articulate my thoughts.
