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?

It's an Ne thing, especially Ne doms like us. Yes, even ENTPs suffer from it. 😜 It's not that you're slow to process but everything is hitting you too fast. There are two options, speak slowly and deliberately when all that is hitting you at once to sort it out, or learn to speak fast. I mostly speak really fast, but when it's needed, I speak with a very measured voice to give myself time to sort everything out and clean it up. I'll even stay silent and think it through to avoid the excessive rambling and detours.

I can't speak fast, then it will be only nonsense to others. Speaking my mind as it comes and making sense is no easy task.

Lol Few can. Then try the slow, measured approach. It really works especially when you're getting hit with so much at once.
