Hello guys. I read about two to three hours a day (a book a week) and I feel like I have a lot to say but when I'm trying to articulate my thoughts, to communicate orally, I'm not able to. I don't think clear and it feels like crap. It's so frustrating. Or when I'm trying to write an essay in my native language, Romanian, I feel like I'm blocked and my words won't come out. What should I do? As I'm writing this, I'm feeling a little bit humble because I write more easily in English and it's not even my native language. I'm so confused. I want to become good at talking and writing but I don't know WHAT to practice to achieve these goals. When I try to write in Romanian I get frustrated because I know my writing isn't good. Not to doubt myself, but to prove this, I was asking for opinions from people who have experience in writing and they told me that my writing is terrible. I wasn't good in school because I didn't like it. I was raised in a dysfunctional family and since grade two or three I've been seeking constant gratification. I don't have much time to lose because life is short and I want to live the best life possible; I'm not saying that in an egotistic way. What/how should I practice? More reading? More writing? If I write there's nobody to correct me. It feels like crap. I want to be able to articulate my thoughts clearly in writing and orally. What do you guys recommend? Your advice and @Leo Gura's advice would be much appreciated.
