Why you can’t articulate like you think

Being taught to articulate what you mean properly should be a vital lesson for everyone to learn.

I wish we were taught this kind of knowledge before we were forced to make oral presentations in class, as children.

Journalling has helped me tremendously with articulating my thoughts. It's essentially self-expression practice. When you take the time to articulate your thoughts and emotions beforehand, you can speak about them confidently later. I highly suggest it to anybody trying to get to know themselves (everybody).

No ad break and gets straight to the point with zero filler. Exactly what an educational video should be!

This is why we need to be telepathic

My brain is rotten from media and tiktok / dopamine. I can tell that in the past few years I am unable to formulate thought in the same way that I used to.

Best lesson I've learned is being comfortable with silence so you can take time with your words.

My problem is that my mind goes blank when trying to articulate my thoughts. I can still picture it, but I end up forgetting even simple words (I know the word I want to use, but it eludes me). And then for some reason, I am unable to pick out a similar word that could sort of describe what I’m trying say. Kind of like an infection spreading throughout my vocabulary.

I recently found out I’m autistic at 40. I love my job but I’m having communication problems. Videos like this will help me and others like me a lot. Thank you.

What i love the most about this video is how little filler there is in it. You jump into the first point in less than 10 seconds which is so nice to see

I’m in process of learning English. My level isn’t as high as l would prefer to express my deep thoughts, but your knowledge helps me grow every time I watch. So, with all gratitude 🙏

00:00 📚 Understanding Connotation - Connotation refers to the multitude of experiences, emotions, associations, memories, and meanings behind words. - Language doesn't fully capture our 4D thoughts; it's a 1D representation. - Two actions to communicate more connotation: avoiding Blue Sky language and using emotional bridging. 05:07 🖋️ Articulating Your Thoughts - Frustration in articulation often occurs when we have a clear thought but struggle with the verbal expression. - Whisper drafting, a technique from Teddy Roosevelt, helps create rough drafts of sentences before speaking. - Requesting more time to think before responding can improve clarity. 08:02 💡 Cognitive Priming for Precision - Cognitive priming is a technique to make your speech more intentional and precise. - It breaks the automated back-and-forth of conversations and keeps both parties engaged. - Accountability for your words increases, leading to more careful and thoughtful spee

I love your style! No meaningless intros or outros, straight to the point.

Most of the times when I am supposed to express important thoughts I struggle with thinking about the correct words that will engage with the listener emotionally and influence action because there is limited time to process most especially in a group discussion. My favorite gem from this video is the whispering because I feel like it will help me understand my counterparts position in the discussion whilst forming my opinion with in the most accurate wording. Thanks for sharing bro, you are a blessing to this generations oratory community.

When I talk to myself in the mirror it’s like I can say everything I’m thinking almost perfectly, it does take a lot of time and thought tho, and I notice I always tend to rush my words for the sake of not wasting other people’s time.

Your plants are dancing.

I never had problems with public speaking or explaining others or comforting others but the one thing is that I could never express was my mind and thoughts (in words), if i was in discomfort. I always would be just speechless or tell about my problems in breaks which frustrated me even more .Your video totally understood my problem and thanks for helping me out!!!

This editing technique to alleviate some of the pauses within the video is genius
