How good are you at effectively communicating your needs verbally?

[Still-alive]

Do you think you are good at communicating?

5/5 im a pro!

4/5 im pretty good

3/5 im ok

2/5 im not that good

1/5 my communication skills suck

[Guardian45]

I'd like to say I'm perfect 5/5!
But I think that may be in MY head ONLY!

I'm neurodivergent with PTSD, which means I'm slow to process feelings and respond.

Furthermore, "I cannot forecast to you the the female brain. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is female desire."

(with apologies to Sir Winston Churchill)

[VIVANT]

Women will also be neurodivergent with ptsd. Like myself... In addition a ND person with ptsd will often present as an “enigma” to others.

I’m surprised you’d want to box people in given your unique circumstance. There will be people of all kinds, of all genders.

[Guardian45]

Ofc, NDs with PTSD can be women. I'm not boxing them in. I'm saying that MY situation makes communication difficult, especially with opposite sex.

[Guardian45]

Thank you for MHG!

It's better than it was but calling someone with Aspergers good at communicating is like calling a penguin a professional Rick climber. Part of our diagnosis is difficulty communicating.

[VIVANT]

Terrible. Im a very effective communicator but I can’t communicate are my needs bc I resent having any and I expend a lot of energy into negating the fact I do to the point I can convince myself so it’s all quite effectively buried.

[VIVANT]

I can’t vote bc none apply.

[Audiofox]

I think I’m pretty good at it but most idiots don’t even read anymore and just apply their own projections to the things I say. Oh no, a big word, so scary! Better take it personally!

[CrazyGirl2]

Fortunately, I have excellent communications skills. But I put it down to having two highly intelligent highly educated parents. So they get all the credit there, I’m afraid!

[Looksnicholas]

I'm ok when I should be a pro 😃 or I wish I was lol. 😅

[annabananna]

I have a habit of skipping words so if you can put a sentence together with skipped words you’ll understand me just fine!

[menina]

I would say that I'm ok. Sometimes I prefer to not communicate my needs verbally.

[Ms_Facesitter]

A pro but I need some alone time before wording it perfectly :)

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I'm working on getting better with it.

[Wiredone]

It's easy to communicate what I want. All I have to say is " get me my dinner ", or "shut up". How hard is that to understand.

[call_me_scar]

My articulation could uses some work but people usually have an idea of what I'm asking

[OddBeMe]

To my cat? Pretty good.


Wife? Impossible.

[Labokachulaa]

I am pretty good at it I believe.

[SnowedIn]

I am an excellent communicator!

[Ninania]

I'm getting better at it.

[clampfan101]

I’m guessing around 2/5. :/

[lottiebannotie]

Depends on how confident I'm feeling at the time
