What to do about Speech and Language Disorders and Social Fears? A Practical Self-Help Guide

I always have trouble expressing myself verbally, and I often get stuck and feel particularly overwhelmed when talking to others.

Often times, I don't know how to say what I'm really thinking and the words get jumbled.

Often the words do not make sense, talk about things, and the brain is foggy all day long, always wanting to sleep, and not refreshed.

There is always a sense of strangeness and distance when interacting with others, diagnosed with social phobia, especially afraid of going to class or facing crowds, confused when there are many people, and my behavior seems out of place, and my chronic low self-esteem is causing me a lot of suffering.

Having said that, I don't know if you can understand how I feel.

It's really very agonizing, what should I do? Thank you for listening.

Hello owner, from your description, I can deeply feel your pain and confusion, I hope my sharing can give you some inspiration ......

You mentioned that you have a tendency to have low self-esteem, so let's talk about what effects low self-esteem can have.

Low self-esteem will make you afraid to try, worry about failure, always feel that others are looking at you differently, as a result, you do not dare to take action, constantly denying themselves, the courage to slowly disappear, as if to put themselves into a small dark room.

I also read your loneliness and bitterness in the text, and we'll talk briefly about that feeling below.

Loneliness and bitterness is actually a manifestation of psychological closure, as if you feel that you are separated from the outside world by a wall, being excluded, and your heart is empty.

You say that you have difficulty communicating with others, that you don't know how to express yourself, and that you often don't say what you mean.

This reflects that you may be introverted, your interest is more focused on your inner world, you are not used to or dare not expose your emotions, you would rather hide, but at the bottom of your heart you desire to be understood, and this contradiction will breed a sense of loneliness after a long time.

You also mention having trouble with speech, struggling to communicate, not being able to make sense of words, having a foggy brain and wanting to sleep, being distant in interactions, and being afraid of classes and crowds.

This suggests that you may lack the self-confidence and social skills to build deep relationships, and that loneliness will worsen over time.

My suggestion is that although you are afraid of communication, you can start with a smile, give each other a smile when you meet, make people feel that you are close to them, and after you get used to it, try to say "good morning", and slowly build up your courage.

I also recommend a good part-time job - volunteering, helping others will be full of positive energy inside, you don't need to talk a lot, a smile is enough, which can exercise self-confidence and social skills.

Or try a part-time job as a shopper, where you'll have to present product knowledge and meet a variety of people every day, quickly improving your presentation and social skills.

These are my tips, I hope they help you and I wish you get out of your rut soon and become relaxed and chatty!
