Hello. I have a problem with communicating. I find it hard to properly express what exactly is in my head. Part of the reason being is that I don’t know exactly what’s in my head. My mind also seems to be in a constant argument with itself, which also doesn’t help. There is also the fact that I don’t really know how to read social cues all that well. It’s hard to tell what people are thinking. I know I don’t belong. Here or anywhere. It’s hard. Walking around and looking at everyone who gets it. I got won over by that look. Soon as their head turned, I couldn’t help myself. Thanks for listening.

Hi! I don’t know if this will make you feel better all that much, but on here you don’t need to try and be anything other than yourself. Everyone here is willing to listen and help whenever you need it, you do not need to be perfect to fit in here. You belong here, just as much as me and just as much as the next person. In time you will figure out how to find your thoughts and how to establish them into words, but it will take time and there is no rush!
Thank you. That makes me feel a tad bit better.
Hi J Doe, I just discovered your older posts. Something about what you said here & the way you write gave me a suspicion, so I had to SP-stalk you a bit to see if I was right, and I think I am.
Don’t worry, it’s nothing bad. It’s just a pattern I’ve noticed in highly gifted people I’ve met in my life. (Btw I’m not one of these people I’m talking about, but I can spot it.)
Anyway, if I’m right, you’re a very introspective person, very observant and you think things through carefully. Small details affect you a lot, maybe not immediately, but they build up. That’s the danger.
I think the communication issue is the bottleneck. The people I’ve known who were like this hardly ever said a word to anyone, but you could tell his mind was racing and processing everything that everyone said. I don’t know the answer. I feel like you should be around people without necessarily interacting. The guy I mentioned used to go to the mall, get a waffle cone and sit there watching people, unnoticed. I don’t know if it would help you, but that simple activity made him so relaxed.
