    I read / heard somewhere, that if you can’t really put somethings into words, you don’t understand it as well as you think you do.

      In the context of a technical discussion, that assertion might hold water, but this meme is referring to discussing one’s feelings.

      So, in a way, you’re kind of right.

      It’s bullshit. Some people have genuine issues speaking their thoughts from a variety of disabilities, and other people are just plain bad at explaining things

        Eh, not being able to explain it elegantly on the spot in front of people understandable.

        But if can’t come up with a simple explanation even when you’re by yourself with all the time in the world, then yeah you probably don’t understand it well enough.

        It’s for people that say “it’s a complex topic. You wouldn’t be able to understand it”. Bitch, the human brain is amazing. People can understand anything they want to. You’re just too lazy to help them.

          Talking is such an overwhelming method of communication though, and it requires constant and very precise, physical and mental coordination to be effective.

          I sound stupid and crazy when I try to talk, all the sensory input fries my brain and makes me panic.
