Communication

I had a revelation in the shower, and yes, the fact that I was in the shower is very pertinent. (It really wasn't, I'm just giving you some uncomfortable images to set the stage with.)

OMG! I just realized that the acronym of my blog title is MALL!

:/

Back to the matter at hand:

I've always had a bit of trouble communicating my thoughts. In the shower, while performing my sudsy magic, it dawned on me, and this is something I should have realized a while ago, but better late than never... My thoughts are composed of essentially two things: Invisible dialogue (E.G. Feelings and emotions.) and actual sentences. The majority of the time I'm conversing with my invisible dialogue. I can think through many sentences and concepts without ever putting them into an understandable format, and I'll occasionally chime in with a real sentence, though they are often fragmented. This only becomes an issue when trying to relate my thoughts to other people.

Now that I've identified the issue, I can remedy it. I've begun to put effort into thinking in full sentences, ones that could be comprehended by someone who was not privy to my inner thoughts. This has proven to be exhausting, but thoroughly rewarding. I am confident that once I've made a habit out of this, my interpersonal communication skills will improve dramatically.

It is also very possible that I will blog more frequently, it's a good exercise for working on this. Translating my inner thoughts into completely coherent sentences is a lot of work for me. Which is fascinating, as it probably comes very naturally to others.

If I am very successful, you'll soon see that I am not nearly as retarded as you've so often thought me to be.

I look forward to watching this unfold.
