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 seems like both a gift and a problem- we have a mind that can run 20 parallel tracks and create a zillion ideas every minute, but sadly we just have one mouth and we end up having parallel conversations because…we’re almost always excited.

In my case I’m both excited and impatient

Me too I get excited by it all. Filtering comes later or I have to force it.

Surely a gift and a curse. We are excellent for brainstorming. My boyfriend is an intj he speaks like an arrow that moves at a steady speed + in one direction. I talk like an arrow that moves in all directions before it gets any closer to the target and by the time it reaches the target, it's not an arrow anymore.

Our arrows move in squiggles instead of straight lines😂
