Try talking to 5-10 strangers simultaneously in a phone conference. Lols.Originally Posted by redbaron
But anyways I can kind of relate to many things said here.
Edit: After reading again...I'm not sure if I relate that well. I relate to some things but not to many others. For example I have no problems talking loud or even forcefully getting attention and make others listen to me IF it is clear in my mind what I need to say or if I'm annoyed or something. However in a discussion situation where there is a lot of strangers discussing about some topic where I don't feel intellectually secure I have problems articulating. I kind of wished everyone would slow down and let me have my time to develop and then articulate my views. In those situations I can be quite silent even for longer periods of time. In situations where I feel intellectually secure and I clearly know what goals do I need to achieve it is easy for me to be quite forceful and dynamic speaker. One-on-one situations are much easier except those where there just isn't anything to talk about except some small talk. I sort of run out of small talk steam pretty quickly.
