I'm having difficulty, recently, packaging my thoughts on… nearly anything… into a form I can use to communicate effectively with others.
I suspect this is partly because many of these thoughts are complex, and I don't have the time to properly consider them and distill them down.
But it also could be that I'm sleep deprived.
After all, it's been well over a year I've had sleep problems and "baby brain", between pregnancy and early childhood.
During that time I've also pulled away from more and more social interactions, especially online, as I've felt my communications get clumsier and stupider. I can't articulate what I want to say. Each failure to communicate well carries the fear of conflict or the sting of shame.
@Tarale I wish people were kinder and more gentle - it would make social interactions so much easier
@lizardsquid That would go a long way to solving the problem, yes. There's a tendency for a lot of people to jump on you for a half-formed idea.
But I'm finding the problem is still there with friends, who are not at all being unkind. Just kind of… a feeling of having my foot in my mouth all the time. Or of the words just being stuck in my throat.
@Tarale oh that sounds difficult... I hope you find your words soon
@Tarale oh, I didn't know that was happenning!!!
@lizardsquid Yeah, I figure I should stay up and have a peek, as it's pretty rare we have a super moon, blue moon, and total lunar eclipse at the same time: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/super-blue-blood-moon-clouds-may-cover-lunar-triple-treat-in-australia
Also, everyone is just so fucking angry
