I Can Write Words Better Than I Can Speak Them

If Only I Were Inside Out..... I could think things out so perfectly in my mind that it's upsetting that it's the opposite aloud. My tongue mixes and scrambles my thoughts whenever I try to produce them. Speak slower? I do. I try to think less, but that's impossible. My handwriting isn't too neat since I have so many thoughts that I want to jott down all at once. Maybe it's the same with my brain? But I've seen people with adhd who speak perfectly. Anyone else feel that their physical body and their mental body never really connected as expected? I mean, i feel like an outgoing introvert. If I could, I'd share my thoughts. Sometimes my brain will react so quickly but my speech is still lost for words.

Don't worry about that. It's challenging, but you can learn to speak more like your thoughts. Just takes time. There is a different pathway in your brain for both writing and speech. You might need some speech therapy but you should talk to your parents and your doctor to see if it's really an issue, too.
Otherwise, type more. Or learn shorthand so you can keep up better with your thoughts. Work on talking things out with a friend or someone you can trust.
