Struggling with Communication and Social Anxiety

Does anyone else feel like communication is so hard and makes social anxiety so bad because most people are not verbally communicating the same thing as what they are communicating nonverbally..??

Yes. And even more so when I'm in conversation with strangers and am trying to explain something that makes sense to me, but not them. So most of the time I end up seeming stupid or a jerk.

I hate that, I have literally had to break down the science of stuff for people to understand the way I think and feel..

right, why can I not bite my tongue sometimes and why can I not get my words out sometimes why do I get judged when I speak and judged when I don't speak

I know what you mean!!! Maybe life would be too simple that way? I don't understand skirting around what you mean to make others feel more comfortable. If it's my issue why are they uncomfortable?? URGH

I've learned that most people are not aware of what their body language is saying so I try to listen to the words only. It takes a ton of practice though
