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?

My god I'm with you

People had a hard time understanding me!

How is it now?

I’ve found that people who are really exceptional at reading between the lines and abstract thinking tend to understand me the most. Really concrete, black and white individuals are usually the ones who struggle with me the most.

Exactly the same for me!

And they don't seem to grasp the nuance I'm adding.

Yeah exactly, and there’s nothing wrong with that it’s just how they are. I’ve just had to learn to not take things personally with people like that bc we’re just different and that’s ok.

I’ve had to really learn to not let people like that make me feel dumb or inadequate, bc at the end of the day they don’t actually know me, and they’re not in my head so it doesn’t matter what they think of me. I live in a very colorful world and they can’t take that away from me. They can’t take away the beauty I see in everything.

That's really beautiful! True I shouldn't let it get into my head.
