Expressive Aphasia -"Got a Lot on Your Mind, But Can't Get the Words Out?"



"
Having a Lot to Say, But Struggling to Find the Words"
The experience of harbouring numerous thoughts and emotions inside, yet finding it tough to voice them affects everyone. It resembles a disconnect between our idea-filled mind and our reluctant mouth. This internal conflict can arise for several reasons each as intricate as the individual experiencing it.

When someone has plenty to say but struggles to express it, this might stem from their reliance on the internet as their main source of information. The web overflows with unreliable content. Many people relate to this feeling in various ways. This situation reflects uncertainty about reaching out to others or avoiding potential judgment. If someone finds themselves at a loss for words other approaches exist to portray a learning difficulty or to discuss confusion such as being speechless...

The feeling of having lots of thoughts and feelings inside, but finding it hard to say them out loud, is something we all go through. It's like there's a gap between our mind full of ideas, and our mouth, which doesn't want to speak them. This inner struggle can happen for many reasons, each one as complex as the person feeling it.

In the moments when one feels that they have a lot to express but can't quite put it into words. It's like having a vast ocean of feelings inside, but only being able to use a few drops of language to describe that feeling. 

This challenge can come from different situations and Several reasons:

Too Many Emotions
: When you’re flooded with emotions, it’s hard to sort through them and explain them clearly. This lack of self-awareness of their own emotions or thoughts leads to difficulty in expressing themselves accurately.

Fear of Judgment
: Worry About Being Judged and the fear of being misinterpreted or negatively judged can stop people from opening up about their deepest thoughts. These fearful thoughts might lead to us suppressing our words and feelings and stop people speak what they feel intentionally.

Not Finding the Right Words: When you're dealing with complicated feelings, it can be tough to find the right words to describe them well. This clash between what you feel and what you can say can lead to frustration and feeling like you're not good enough. Sometimes, our experiences are so detailed that we can’t find the perfect words to describe them.

Bad Past Experiences: If you’ve had negative experiences talking about your feelings like being ignored or criticized, it can make you hesitant to share in the future.

Cultural and Societal Influences: Social pressures may come from the people who expect you to behave in a set way or say what is likely because you're from a certain place or culture. They determine how we present ourselves, hence forcing us to censor what we say.

Processing Speed: There is a disconnection in our brain because most times we think faster than we speak.

Being boxed inside can make you lonely and wronged and feel like you can't get your point across like no one gets it.

Knowing these things can help bridge the gap and enable effective communication.

The important thing is to understand that many battle with what you are going through. But, it is really hard to express all of those feelings.

 However, there are ways available to deal with these kinds of emotions:

1. Simply Keep a Diary: Writing down what you think and feel provides a quiet space to keep your thoughts and also helps you understand them better.

2. Be Intellectually Passionate: For emotional expression, but also through music, movement and painting, some can share their feelings without having to speak.

3. Look for Assistance: If there is a person that you trust, like a friend or family member seeing a counsellor could allow you to vent your feelings and provide possible solutions.

4. Like Right Now: With mindfulness, you become more familiar with your thoughts and feelings and don’t need to respond.

5. Be happy.

It's okay if you only sometimes say the right thing. Feelings are often hard to explain so sometimes simply acknowledging and letting yourself feel is what you need. This can help us feel better, by knowing and admitting that's how we feel.😊

Also, being open can make it tough to express yourself. Sharing deep feelings can be scary, as it requires you to trust and be close to someone. For many people, admitting they're vulnerable can feel like showing a weak spot, so they hold back from sharing their deepest feelings.

Realising that internal dialogue can be a struggle is something most of us employ in one way or the other. It is this all—emotions, Their concerns, and what society wants from us. You don’t need to feel this way, but still, it is necessary to know – you are not alone. Everyone goes through this. If we follow what it is that makes it so difficult to express our intentions – emotions and fear of others’ opinions – we can begin speaking of what we are.

To be able to communicate requires time to be allocated to this activity and practice made to be able to have a master on the issue. You can: write in a diary doing something artistic or talking to someone you know and trust. The first broad move is to discover how you are and realise that it is all right to be like that. Do not panic if you can’t find the right words, or if it is all too much. It is perfectly okay to be nice to yourself as you seek to be more receptive because your emotions count.

Finally, only if one is willing to take that leap further and reveal what is in one’s heart is it possible to make it blossom so that one may open up towards other people. When you open up, you do not feel better because everyone else gets it, but you also assist everyone else to do the same.

We should accept our multilayered emotions and with love and respect it should be our aim to foster a society that honours everyone’s thoughts and feelings.😊
