You are clearly an emotionally intelligent person. I suffer with this challenge of communication! My own take is that I know I am confident inside, but I juat have to navigate the hurdles to express that more than the average person.. So I have honed my ability to communicate on other levels such as body language and my intuitive abilities. I can read people pretty well and so able to connect with tjr right kind of people which further helps with my ability to communicate more effectively... I have a question on why the far left seem to be so obsessed with LGBT when they only represent a tiny percentage of the population? There are probably more stammers out there both closeted and out then genuine LGBT flag wavers. It frustrates me how much they distract from real suffering out there I see far too many using it to exert soft power over others which I find incredibly distasteful. Many more are impressionable youth caught up in echo chambers without anyone to challenge them with sound critical thinking. I've seen it evolve into a weaponised ideology that appears to be all about feelings, respect and individuality, but instead it spreads lots of misinformation and ignorance stemming from questionable sources. Irs emerged as a moral ideology along with veganism and climate change that seeks to blame the majority as kind of sinners who need to submit and pay their dues.. Just as previous religious institutions have done. When a tiny minority group starts to dictate to the majority something is definitely wrong at the core of society.. We've lost our way these last 70 years or so.. even lord disconnected from nature and the natural rhythms of life.. We're being forced to replace this with an artificial acceptance attitude and a false - insincere morality of respect etc As a person with a veey debilitating stammer I see this very clearly. I have no time for BS because I have to deal with so much of my own without a choice.. I hope we find a better balance in tnr years to come. It's certainly not an evolved level of thinking despite many assuming it is. I often find people incredibly disingenuous, especially those not part of that group who want to virtue signal ther support of it. Juat because they have the loudest voice ATM... We can do waaaay better than this.
