In person I can see from someone's reactions if I've gone off track or said the wrong thing and can try to redirect.

I love to write but hardly do it because it's never just good enough. I need tons of time to get my thoughts inline with what I'm writing before it's not confusing, backwards or they jump from thought to thought.

Thank you for replying have you learn't that from experiencing successful and negative responses in the past? Hats off to you for that even though you should be able to be 100% yourself around people. My friends tend to have safe mode on when socialising, whereas with me they're just themselves.

In a way it's easier to socalise in person then as you can determine whether you have put your foot in your mouth or not. Even though it can turn sour if the person you're talking to reacts negatively. Over the phone you could block them but in person you must confront them face on.

That must be tough when you want to say everything on your mind but by the time you've typed it out you probs lost your thoughts and ideas. Is that fair to say?

Thank you so much you're teaching me so much
