Question/Advice/Support Does anyone struggle to explain things logically?

It's not a question for the enfps necessarily but I don't feel like asking elsewhere. So people often say they can't understand what I am saying.

I myself don't sometimes. 💀 My answer is coming from 10 different ideas or experiences collectively and I can't point it out easily. It takes time for me to clarify things. Maybe it's being slow to process. And no matter how much I try, half the story is in my mind. The other person has no way to know.

I like to debate but it's hard because of it. Any similar experience or anyone who could overcome it?

i sooo feel this way, esp when im with my intp bestie and we're debating or discussing smthing nd I cant share my point because it feels like 100+ points coming out from my brain through my mouth nd the end product is me mumbling shit, going from point a to point t 😭😭

One thing i've done is trying to "filter" or js slow down the thoughts in my brain and see what is the main point i wanna say. especialy when im in a formal setting i take time to say the words in my head before i can say it out loud. or else im just a blabbermouth :)

Yeah with intps it's very difficult to communicate. And I feel misunderstood.

Yeah that might work? But in every impromptu speech, I end up saying something I never thought I will 👀.

depends on the environment and situation also. if you keep practising thinking and taking time to collect your words, it'll come off as polite and smart as well, not rushing over things.

take your time to be sure what exactly it is you want to say and in time you might get used to it! <3

Yeah when the ideas are clarified, it does show the connections and doesn't sound random af.

Honestly one of the best ways.
