At A Lost for Words I wanted to see if I'm not the only one that experiences this but has anyone ever experienced being at like a lost for words and feeling completely lost sometimes in a social situation? Like for me, it feels like sometimes I watch my words and construct what I say so much that sometimes it feels as though I can't produce an organic and genuine statement. Like it feels as though I'm a robot sometimes. Has anyone else experienced this? What have you done to make it better and increase your ability to articulate without having to think about the words you want to say?
