I'm also the opposite of you Taylorsmommy. I have a hard time with verbal communication partially because I'm a little bit shy in person, and also because of the things that happen to me when I'm speaking.
I stutter a little bit. I get nervous, so it's like a domino effect. I'm better than I was, though. University helped me with that. I took a lot of seminar courses where I was required to speak.
I've been thinking about this thread a lot as the day has worn on. I'm afraid the purpose that it serves, while entertaining, may divert more people into silent positions. It's definitely made me a little more conscientious about what I say. I certainly don't want to seem full of shit all of the time.
Could you define "bullshit?" I'm serious. For this thread to really make sense, we need a working definition of "bullshit." That way, I can be even more attentive to what I am posting.:)
