I wonder if what I’m going to describe is social anxiety or is related to it (I’ve always felt like it is, so I’d be curious to get your perspective).

I’m a very confident person, very comfortable public speaking, having all eyes on me etc. However, I personally feel that I really struggle to find words to express how I’m really feeling, in both my professional and personal life. This can often lead to me saying ‘something’ in a rush to try and express myself and then having to explain what I meant because what I said was either misconstrued or I didn’t mean what it sounds like I meant (if you follow?). Do you think this is related to social anxiety? Whether it is or it isn’t I’d welcome any advice you might have regarding this!

Thanks for the thoughtful response! I’ll give what you said a try and then take it from there. Thank you!
