<p>I’ve been thinking about this for a while.</p><p><br/></p><p>Why am I so good at typing but so bad at speaking?</p><p><br/></p><p>When I’m typing, I can put my thoughts together. I can explain myself. I can even find the right words for things I didn’t know how to say before.</p><p><br/></p><p>But when it comes to speaking, it is different.</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes I know exactly what I want to say, but the moment I open my mouth, everything becomes confusing. I start thinking too much about the words. Sometimes I forget what I wanted to say. Sometimes I just stay quiet because I don’t know how to explain myself properly.</p><p><br/></p><p>And people might think I’m quiet because I have nothing to say.</p><p><br/></p><p>Meanwhile, I have a whole conversation going on in my head.</p><p><br/></p><p>I think writing gives me time. I can stop, think, delete, rewrite and say things the way I actually mean them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Speaking doesn’t give me that time.</p><p><br/></p><p>You have to say it immediately, while someone is looking at you and waiting for your answer. That alone can make me lose my words.</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s funny because sometimes people read what I write and probably think I’m very confident. But if they meet me in person, they might wonder where that confidence went.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m starting to realize that being good at expressing yourself through writing doesn’t always mean you’ll be good at expressing yourself by talking.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I don’t think people should be quick to judge quiet people because of this.</p><p><br/></p><p>Some people have a lot to say.</p><p><br/></p><p>They just find it easier to say it with their fingers than with their voice.</p><p><br/></p><p>Are there people here who are like this too?</p>
