Do you find it easier to write it down than express it verbally

I'm a talker. Though there are times when i just can't seem to tell the person how i really feel, then i just do it in writing. However, i got used to talking to people a lot since i'm an ESL instructor. I get to talk to a lot of foreigners as well including British, Turkish, French, Romanian and Italian. I find joy in talking to them. One friend once told me that he so wanted to talk to me over the phone but he just couldn't bring himself to do that because of three reasons, one he knew he would be tongue tied and wouldn't know what to say, second, he's too overwhelmed he couldn't blurt things out and lastly is something private that i wish to keep to myself.

I find it alot easier to write it down. I get nervous when speaking to others and forget what I really want to say.

As for me. I found it easier for me to express things verbally. I'm more on speaking than writing. Sometimes, I find it hard for me to think what to write. I'm having a hard time because whenever I write, I want others to understand and feel what is written. Whew. But I really really love to talk. Whenever I'm telling a story to my friends, they listen very carefully and they can feel it that's why I can say that I'm better expressing myself verbally. :D Another, its faster to say a word than to write that's why I prefer speaking but its more tiring than writing. :D

I am a good conversationalist but I am never a talker myself. I prefer to write whatever I want to say it express in writing since I also have the tendency to babble and express something in accident (meaning I wasn't really supposed to tell but perhaps for the purpose of filling the silence, I talk of random things without control). With writing, I have more control over my words and I can focus on the message that I want to convey. I can also delete and refine my words for better understanding. It's better method for me and my audience and there will no embarrassment on either party. That is the reason that I shy away from any form of public speaking I'm not just built into it no matter how much I try. Better burn the paper I wrote than eat my own words.

I feel the same way, I will get flustered easily when trying to communicate verbally with someone, whether it be on the telephone or in person. I have thought about the reasons behind this frustration before, and I have come to the conclusion that in my case, it's a combination of lack of self-assurance in myself (I become nervous and doubtful that I'll sound convincing or interesting enough to the other party), misuse of proper language on a day-to-day basis around friends (also known as using slang), and the lack of traditional communication methods (ie, chatting online versus writing a letter, sending text messages versus making phone calls, etc.) By that last example, I'm implying that we overuse technology, these days, as well. It's a frustrating situation, but I'm certain it occurs to more people than we think. You're not alone!

I love writing and it is easy for me to express my thoughts when I write. I often write long emails to my friends and I enjoy written communication. I also like to express my thoughts through short stories and poems. On the other hand I am also a talkative person and sometimes I can talk on the phones for hours. My ex-boyfriend always said that I talked too much, and it is true that I can be very talkative, but it depends on my mood and the situation. I love writing and I love talking, I guess I generally like to express myself

There are times when I find it easier to write it down especially if I did something wrong and don't want to face the person for what I've done. Although there are times when I wish to speak to the person instead because I'd like to see the reaction for what I have to say.

Friend here maximum friends know I am a talkative women so I can express my views in verbally or writen in both way. Because in mylot call is not allowed so I am expressing my views by written way but if give me a chance to call then I never write anything here. Only talks on phone hahahhaand express my views.

I am not a talker but I try and read the person before I speak. If the situation calls for me to say something, I will, but most of the time I stay quiet. I never write down what I feel because it's a waste of time and never clears things up. I am the type of person that would give you enough rope to hang yourself. Then I will come in for the kill. Confusion is all around us, life is confusion. We have to try and keep a fine balance in our lives. The bottom line, I would rather confront things face to face.

Hi, there! :) We feel the same way. I think, I can better express myself in writing and texting than do it verbally. I don't have the heart to express myself verbally. I'm not talkative in nature. Way back in my college days, I used to have good ratings in my written quizzes than the oral ones. :) Now, I'm trying my best to talk to people just to increase my self-esteem in public speaking. :) I hope we can both change ourselves for the better! :)

I am better at writing than speaking. And even a better speaker when I speak only with the mind. But it depends on the situation. Because when it is already there for me to have to start defending myself then I just open my mouth and get it over with once and for all.

yup i'm that kind of person i am really nervous when talking formally in front of others but not if its just joking. but in writing i can express myself fully but the problem is i have such an ugly penmanship. like on text messages people tend to say that i'm like another person when texting.

It all depends on the situation, i would much prefer to talk about things verbally with someone to avoid any misunderstandings that can happen you you write, text or email. The reason i say this is because I've received some very negative feedback from text's, emails and reports that I've sent, but when i talk with someone verbally it seems to go so much smoother for me.

It depends on who I run into.Some people in my life I have a easy time talking to.For the most part though it is more easy to talk through my writing.I can be shy in person but when I write I feel more free to say what needs to be said.
