Is it normal that most people don't understand what i say?

I'll say something and a lot of people misunderstand and misconstrue what I say. Do I have a problem with not being able to articulate what's in my head? I'm always having to explain what I say and people are always correcting me. And then I'm like "Yeah that's what I meant!" and they respond with "But that's not what you said"
I HATE having to explain myself like I'm some kind of idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about.

    That happens to me every damn day. Sometimes people even tell me I said the OPPOSITE of what I said. It's FUCKING ANNOYING.

        You're not worthless. I was teasing, which now I realize isn't what you needed. If you need someone to talk things out, let me know and I'll try to understand you. If I can't, it's because I'm kind of a dummy, it's nothing to do with you

          So you give me shit for supposedly trolling when I'm just being a decent human being on a serious post but you do this? You're despicable and a hypocrite.

            They were trying to make a joke to ease the tension. Sometimes humor helps to deal with the shit life throws at you. Some people have a more sarcastic brand of humor.

              So you think making people feel worthless is a JOKE? You're contributing to suicide culture you bigot.

        You can get better at articulating your thoughts. Writing and keeping a journal helps.

        But it won't fix the issue of others not having the patience nor the empathy to hear you out. Because that's their problem, not yours.

    I find myself in that situation often. Not saying this is your problem but for me, I over think things and I think a lot faster than I talk or text.

    In a verbal conversation I have realized I leave words out that I think I said. I thought them but just skipped right over them when I opened my mouth. I do the same thing sometimes when I text.

    The biggest problem is, I know I do this and sometimes I worry too much about it. At that point it gets worse or I sound like an idiot because I slow myself down and think each sentence through before I say it.

    I've found it better to just talk and deal with it. If I have to correct myself so be it.

    Very few people are good listeners. People love talking but hate listening to others. And even fewer people have the empathy and the intelligence and the patience to understand what it is you're trying to say when you yourself are bad at verbalizing your thoughts.

    Most people just don't care.
