I struggle with words, which is partly why I like internet forums because it gives me plenty of time to try to use them well (even if I don't most of the time).

In one-on-one communication, some people tend to think I'm either slow or being secretive because I don't use them so readily.
I think what usually happens is I read into what I think people mean, rather than just what their words could mean. And it can be hard to reconcile the two; I feel like choosing one over the other makes a person biased and partial in some way.
