How to deal with being a brainlet who has trouble verbalizing his thoughts?

Read more, write more, make sure you’ve organised your thoughts and you understand what you’re talking about. Accept that you’ll say something dumb sometimes.

>>12649903
People will tell you to “read more or write more” but maybe you’re just terrible at verbally expressing yourself and you always will be.

Everyone thinks eventually you can overcome any undesired trait but they’re wrong. Better to learn to accept you’ll always be a mumbling fool who stumbles over his words. Move on and focus on your strengths, kid.

Therapy. You don't have that complex thoughts or so limited vocabulary that you can't express them. Most likely your mind races to find the best word/sentence structure and you trip on your feet

>assuming everyone is at their uppermost limit of potential capacity

You can never improve if no effort is put forth; to not even try because of a jaded philosophy insures it.

Honestly this. The optimist looks in terms of what he can do, the pessimist in terms of what he can't. To fully subscribe to pessimism over optimism is to never be satisfied by what you can do. You might as well just kill yourself.

This is what happens with me. Is it really just a matter of vocabulary?

LIKE EVERYTHING, you get better at talking and verbalizing your thoughts by doing just that, talking and verbalizing your thoughts. Would you consider yourself a brainlet if I handed you a golf club and asked you to hit a ball 300 yards? Obviously not. This is the same sort of scenario.

Who said anything about not trying? Try but know when to give up when nothing's working. Nothing more pathetic than a delusional optimist.

Of course not. It's anxiety. Did you have perfectionistic parents that looked down on you?

What sort of thing do you try to verbalize but just can't? Also I'm curious what kind of job you have where expressing yourself is required.

I have the exact same problem, it is incredibly difficult to speak intelligently and coherently sometimes. The words I need are never there and it takes me much longer than the average person to remember a single word.

Try reading out loud

that could possibly help exercise your speaking voice and make verbalizing your thoughts easier

The more brain, the harder it is to navigate.
This is why you can have great thoughts but not articulate them verbally well and why your average nigger, despite having an IQ in the 80s in the US, actually seems quite adept at speaking what is on his mind without many verbal pauses and so forth. I know a guy who got a TBI one time. He's cognitive abilities have decreased since then but he can talk much better now relative than before.

>> No.12653190

>>12649903
That's actually a sign of intelligence. If your thoughts were easy to articulate, you'd likely be parroting lies some faggot told you.
