warpednormal's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - In my mind I am a hell of a lot more eloquent than I actually sound. I have a difficult time expressing myself, even with people I generally feel comfortable with. It happens mostly when I try to talk about something important. I trip on my words, I feel my cheeks redden, my armpits sweat, my throat gets dry. I’d like to sound a lot smarter but perhaps that very desire is what’s making me so nervous. I thought I sounded dumb to him today. I was trying to explain to him how to counsel a client when you only have one session with them. How to get people to start thinking about a possible future rather than dwell on what’s not working. He smiled the whole time, so impressed by how passionate I was about this, even though I fumbled on my words terribly. I am a great listener. Terrible speaker. But he doesn’t seem to mind. 10:56 p.m. - 2020-01-20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
