Reading can train you to understand how to express yourself better. Constantly look for precise adjectives when you talk or write so others understand you easier.
I listened to a linguist expert on NPR and she said English is very confusing because lots of words have more than one meaning. I get stuck on this very much every day. Someone will say something and you're really not sure what they mean (if they are making a joke, if they are serious, etc.). I've had lots of problems with racing thoughts, putting thoughts together, losing my train of thought while speaking since onset of illness at 14.
I am always angry when I work, as well. I am prone to easy irritability, severe agitation and it never lets up and wells up into rage w/o me even knowing about it and I become disconnected to myself and emotions kind of numb. I would be very angry before I got to work in the morning because of drivers and traffic. That's why I'm on SSDI.

No college for me I was never smart enough nor did I have the money to afford it. It seems even when you are older than 18 and live on your own they still consider your parents as being guardians. So with all our combined pay we were making too much. Individually not so much.
