To the people that reply to this thread: After you write your post; read it and then tell me if you could have given me the same answer with the same degree of clarity had I asked you about this in a real conversation.

If your answer is yes.... I would really like your help. How do you do it? How do you immediately think of what to say and put it into clear and concise words?
PokerEnthusiast,

This is my first post on this forum, but I wanted to reply to this thread because I run into this a lot with myself.

It does depend on who I'm talking with most of the time, but I agree with Parthon in that the more I am calm and listen to the other person, the better I am to say exactly what is on my mind without getting tongue tied. I think the key word here is calm because when you are calm you can focus on what someone else is saying. In turn then have your conversion flow with ease.

I however, some of the time, write very differently than I speak, especially if my words are coming from the heart with feeling, emotion. I can write a several paragraphed message to a dear friend in under twenty minutes and make very few corrections to the actual dialog. Thank God for spell check though. The words just seem to flow out with ease and I am often impressed by the outcome, like someone else has written it. I also think a bit of self confidence in your speech or writing is key to getting your point accross with clarity without it seeming arrogant in any way. The same when you are face to face with someone. Sitting or standing up straight and with your head held high can make all the difference.

I hope that helped a bit.
