I
Find a lot of artists have the difficulty of expressing themselves
Verbally, it's something I've struggled with for most of my life. I have all these ideas in my head things
I want to create but I just don't know how to get them out of my head
I have a great idea of something and it finds such difficulty to find the words to explain coherently
so someone can understand what I'm even trying to explain to them or need the ideas that I have even now as I
Talk and try to express from thinking find it very difficult to find the words to
express each individual thought for example right now
I'm thinking of the whole idea of expressing yourself
and I'm also thinking about
Art and how it can be difficult at times to take what's in your head and put it on the paper
I have so much going on in my head
I struggle to really explain it in words so find that a lot of times
I just keep to myself most artists tend to be introverts. They prefer to be alone
working in their hobby in their passion and we'd like having that time to
Think about things and to reflect on life because it's kind of difficult for us to explain it in words when I think of something
Or I have an idea of something
I want to draw or create or maybe I have a new idea for something at work or a new creative
Solution to solve a problem that I've been struggling and working on for awhile. I don't think of it in words
I don't think of it in a verbal language I think of it in abstract
ideas, and I think of it more so in images and more so with touch and all the other sensations that you
Have you know your sense of touch?
smell taste and
hearing I don't really think of things in words such as when someone asked me the
Direction to get to somewhere for example, don't ask but wasn't the direction to get to this retail store
They'll ask me the name of a road
They'll tell me a couple of names of roads and they're going to great detail ask me about the question
but they'll give me some details about what they know and
even the details that they know be it very little even still more than I know because I
Have a really hard time trying to remember details in the phone in the form of words like in the form of
information itself, I
Tend to just remember things and you said imagine his ideas
So when I explained to them how to get somewhere or the location of something I think of it as how did I get there?
Based on how things looked my surroundings and I think of the direction that I was going, you know
Where was the Sun setting it? Um, what did it look out looked like outside?
What was I thinking of at the time and I'm able to attach my thoughts and ideas?
To a certain time and depending on what I was thinking about
Attach that to the location and I can remember where I was and what I was doing
I'll know the exact thoughts
I was having but if you ask me the name of a road, I'll just look at you blankly and not even remember and
the difficulty of trying to express yourself verbally it can make you feel incompetent around other people and they might not think that you're
Very intelligent and for some of us it makes us feel like that. We have lower IQ, although I think that IQ
the whole IQ test isn't really
completely relevant to someone's intelligence because depending on what the questions are on the test and
Depending on what they would classify as intelligence, you know
Depending what those questions are is going to score higher but let's say for example
You have something that you're intelligent at or something
You're good at that isn't part of the whole whole intelligence and whole curriculum if they have four. Um
Gauging what it is. It makes someone smart
You know, what if what you're smarter isn't on that does that mean that you're not smart?
But if they were to take in a test that tested them on things that you're good at then their tests would be lower
although myself I have that never actually taken a
to IQ test I've just gone on lion done those free ones which are pretty much useless because the
They're not official IQ tests and they're not really reliable. So I really have no idea what my
IQ would be but anyways I
think that when you have that problem that people don't think that you're very confident or very smart because you have a
Difficult time trying to express yourself in words. It makes friendships hard
It makes things that work hard and sometimes it can halt your progress in your relationships
or maybe you're trying to move up your job and say your job is something to where you work with the public a lot and
So you have to practice more?
verbally and working on your social interactions with people so that you can advance your job and
you have to really work on whatever it is that your weaknesses then and really really practice that just because you were a
creative person and you might struggle
explain things verbally doesn't mean that you can't get very far and the whole
socialising world and
Doing these podcasts for me. I guess you could call it a podcast. I wouldn't really know what other format it would be
but if find that whenever I
Sit down or I lay in my bed
I think about things I have very complex ideas in solutions to things
But I don't know how to explain to someone so that it can be understood for them to apply it themselves
for example, um
some jobs may be looking for someone's creative or maybe it's a
In gaming and then what something that's creative they can it was really creative with them coming up new ideas for games
So you can pursue a career or a job that
Involves being creative and something I noticed about myself
Is that when I'm talking to people?
And I'm trying to verbally express what I'm thinking about. My mind is thinking way ahead of what my
ability to verbally communicate can keep up with I mean it's kind of like if you
Let's say for example, you're watching a video online
And let's say you have really slow internet. Okay?
now the video will do do what's called buffering and the way I think of it is is
Verbally, my ideas are so far ahead
It's like now it's just like the the video timeline of the video is loading and buffering
it's like verbally I just I stop and
I can't keep up with my thoughts and I had that happen so many times I'll be talking to someone and I'll
Be telling them a story or I'll be telling them
something about you know, say for example
they asked me a question and I'm answering as I'm answering them and
Answering their questions or you know expressing my thoughts or ideas or some creative solution
Mid-sentence I'll to stop and I'll actually forget what I was even talking about because I'm try and connect my thoughts
To my speech but my thoughts are so far ahead. But when I try to slow down my thoughts
Verbally, I can't help with it
but then my thoughts stop and I lose that creativity and I find that most of the time if I have something that I
have an idea for
instead of
Explaining it in a lot of words. I'll just use a small amount of words, and this is more more
So for when I'm alone at home
so let's say I have an idea for something and
let's say the idea is for a new type of drawing I want to do and
Let's say the joy I want to do was of nature
so I'll have a little book beside me that I write notes in for my ideas and things I want to draw and
On that I'll just write nature and whatever the idea was about
Let's say for that nature, which is for the topic. I'll have a subtopic and it'll be tree and
Whatever my mind is thinking of new instance of creativity. Whatever that
Creative ideas attached to whatever memory I'll write that down
So it'll be nature tree and let's say that memory of something from my childhood and let's say it was from when I was
those folders old but because I have difficulty with math and
Specific information like that instead of writing 12. I would write no sixth grade or a
memory of something with a friend and then I'm able to
work from there
And I also find that when I am at trying to explain something to someone
Or express myself I go into a lot of detail and it tends to be so much
Information that it kind of dilutes everything and then they don't really understand the point of what I was trying to say
And that's another difficulty
I have a lot of the time but I've been working on it and I don't think that just because I have
Difficulty was it doesn't mean that you know, do you can't get better? Of course
Anybody can get better anything you just have to apply yourself
So if you're having difficulty, you know expressing yourself or a bully to other people. That's something that can completely understand and
Hold on thinking about some stuff. No, just like right now as I'm talking. I have all these ideas
I'm thinking about and I've had many instances where I had an idea come my mind that I was gonna talk about
so it was something that it was gonna be maybe a few paragraphs ahead later on from now and as I'm talking
My mind is jumping to two paragraphs ahead and then verbally catch up one more paragraph
Then my mind is another ten paragraphs head then verbal
I catch up one more and then eventually my mind is you know
100 pages ahead and ideas and it's gone down all these
You know details everything and then I just stop talking and then I think myself wait, what was I talking about?
And uh, if people will give me strange looks when that happens them by timer. I'm just talking all sudden
I just instantly stop talking and I just give them a blank stare that I'm like, what were we talking about?
so that's why I've always felt more comfortable expressing myself and
Creative and abstract ideas or in things that are related to our creativity
Rather than trying to express it verbally, but I think that doing these podcasts will help me improve
Expressing myself verbally in to try to help other people have an understanding of what's even going on in my mind
So don't let something that you're not good at hold you back and prevent you from doing the things that you do. Enjoy
This practice just work on it and just keep moving forward from there and don't be afraid to express yourself
Just be you
So get out there keep reading in no matter what if you struggle expressing yourself verbally
There's always gonna be those that will understand you and the way that you express yourself artistically
