I was pretty much the same way my whole life and it only got better with every terrifying moment of practice, which was thankfully reinforced with very positive experiences. I think living around a lot of people who just say everything that comes into their head out loud also helps A LOT because it’s like a gun of societal expectations is being held to my head forcing me to respond

@TATERHOLE You right because I got a lot of friends that just say everything out loud which makes me feel more comfortable !

@DOVE I‘m already into reading poetry aloud I think should do it more you right !
I have this problem, too. Everything gets bottlenecked. It’s almost like I think in impressions because I’m so used to expressing things only to myself. Turning something abstract into words is hard. I read a lot of books, and it hasn’t gotten much easier. </3

@HAILEYD4WN I relate to everything you just said when I talk to myself I’m speaking hella fast and know what to say that’s weird and if books are not the solution what is it then !?

Maybe you could try Toastmasters to gain confidence and skill. Maybe try reading aloud because joining an organization is not what a shy person wants to hear lol
@BEE1000 I just searched for Toastmasters maybe I could try that if I feel confident enough one day hahah
