ABOUT ME

Talking is not my forte

June 20, 2010 /

Do you ever feel that you have so many things to talk but later it won’t come out when you’re in front of people? Do you feel that you can pour your thoughts better on paper than you speak? Do you feel that your stomach aches when you have to talk to people?

I feel all of the above.

Informally, I can just talk and talk and talk. My friends labeled me as a ‘busybody’, to the extend. But when it comes to formal occasion such as interview or talk session,  I suddenly have nothing to say. My mind goes blank and I struggled to retrieve the all the information I have in my head.

Yes, it is that bad.

I was not doing that well on the live talk show last Friday. Before the show begun, I have so much to say. Even during the commercial break. Even when I left the studio to head back home.

I just do not know why in the world I went blank or stutter during the actual show. This is a serious problem. I need to break my ice.
