I write, I write, I write...

Hi jerritts1mom. That sounds a lot like me too. But I'm not great at writing either. Though I'd much rather describe my feelings through writing then speaking any day. I don't even like to talk on the phone because I loose my train of thought or I can't think of the words I want to use fast enough to keep my side of the conversation going smoothly. I started having these senior moments when I was about 25, lol. When I write an email or a discussion I can change things if I'm not satisfied with the way it sounds. But when I am speaking with someone live, I usually end up putting my foot in my mouth before its over. i hope you don't have any those problems.

I have always been better at writing my thoughts than speaking them. I am a bit shy at times. I collect my thoughts on paper (or text) better than if try to gets all my points across during a conversation.

Writers by nature are considered to be loners. And loners don't communicate well with people. We would rather spend our time writing or reading. I sure do cherish my time alone after everyone is in bed or when DH works nights. And my mother called me a loner as a teenager. She said she was shy when she was younger and people thought she was a snob. People are so quick to judge. Just keep doing what you feel comfortable with.

Hello Heidi. We are unique individuals with different gifts. Some are gifted on writing, some with talking. It's not something you should worry too much. Keep on writing and if you want to develop articulating your thoughts, you can practice alone!

I also experience that way before. I think when I was in grade school that's the time when I realize that I love writing. It is also those years that I developed it and I was encouraged by my teachers to pursue it. It went on until high school until today. I write more when I am upset LOL. I even believe that I express myself better in writing than in talking- verbal communication. But I guess when I am applying for jobs after I graduated from college, I felt the need of being also good in speaking words, not just in writing them. When you get to interviews and all, they will not ask you to write but to talk. When I get to the job, when communicating to your boss, during meetings and with management asking you for some explanation about your work, usually they want me to talk. So I practice, slowly, until I can patch things up. Right now, I am still learning and I am getting good at it. But still my first love would be writing. =)

do you have a work? i think if you have to work you cant write so much. my english is poor.as you mean,you want to help somebody if they have some to show ?? i am interesting about this. very time i watch us movie or look novel,i have many many things want to tolk,but, some times it's hard.no body want to know about what i think.

I have no problem articulating, I'd just rather write, than have to deal with people on a regular basis. Through writing, I can get my thoughts and opinions out there without haing to deal with a lot of the every day crap that people dish out. Writing is my way to distance my way from society without isolating myself completely.
