my mind is my sanctuary but everythings trapped.

I wish just for once i could say whats really on my mind and for once someone will comprehend the full meaning of what im trying to say. I cant do it. I’ve always gotten frustrated with people because they didnt understand what i was trying to say whether through writing or art, my meaning was something else. the thoughts that seem so deep never pass from me to another because i cant voice them. there are days when i wanna scream, but its not the people around me its me. Im never gonna be able to show everything I know or say those feelings or thoughts that are stored away. I wish I was normal. I wish I was like everyone else. I wish for once I could make sense to someone other than me.

“I wish just for once i could say whats really on my mind and for once someone will comprehend the full meaning of what im trying to say. I cant do it.”

Well if you’ve already decided you cant do it, thats half the problem.

Second - if people don’t understand what your trying to say through art or writing, its because you are not properly conveying the message - they are not to blame on this one dear. When creating works of expression, you must always keep in mind who you are writing or expressing to. you audience. Whoever it is - they go first. What and how they interpret it - its your job to figure this out.

You just haven’t met anyone like minded. Or your just assuming that these people don’t get you.

I think everybody feels that way. What is normal? Words are dead, and knowledge with out wisdom is nothing. If you want people to understand you, speak to them from your heart. Talk out of your emotions. People can relate because everybody has them.

its not just about art. I’ve always wondered why people didnt understand what i was saying and i did keep trying and trying but it never worked because my mind runs too fast for my thoughts to come out. its complicated but recently i got tested and they said im not capable of completely conveying what im thinking and so i’ve just stopped trying to explain whats going on in my head to people around me.

Soo are you dyslexic? You have an actual learning disability?

You expressed your inability to express yourself well. That makes me think that you don’t have a problem formulating your ideas. Might it be a problem in having to interact with others? Might you be a little bit shyer in a person to person conversation than you are here?

It sounds like you simply want someone to understan you, but you’re so young and so full of life. You have so much inside that it would probably be a lot for anyone to take in all at once. Be patient, give it time. perhaps you should change your focus from people to your career. Also, it’s a blessing you’re different. The world needs people like you to keep it pumping and alive. All great art comes from people with a new and different perspective. Perhaps you’ll never find that perfect person you click with, perhaps you will but focusing on that will make you miserable. Find something else to center your thoughts on and, as much as you may think so, you’re not alone. I promise you that.

no im not dyslexic. I have inattention ADD and there’s something weird where they cant measure my IQ because my mind works faster than the time it takes to get out of my mind and i have trouble processing.

no i really didnt express all i was trying to say and thats the problem. when i think i have so much to say and it all makes sense, but when i write or talk its not what im trying to say. its confusing.

Well everyone is different. They all seem normal until you start to know them more. Everyone has their own unique way of expressing themselves. This is just how you express yours, nothing to be upset about. This is the way you are, it’s differnt from everyone else and you should be proud of it. Maybe the only thing is to find someone to understand not just try to change yourself.

My last bit of advice is to keep your expression as simple and as basic as possible. Try to distill your ideas into their most basic component and express that.

Please help me. I feel exactly the same way. It feels like MY mind is running way too fast for me (This line caught my eye). I’m only 17, and sometimes i feel like I might be going crazy.

Really want to talk with you about this.

If i’m right then we are both the same, and we might be able to help eachother out.

~Important~

holden,
I’m the same age(while in 3 days i will be lol), but ur not crazy and its frustrating as h*ll, but i think we are the same. Like u begin to explain something and than ur mind jumps to something else and all the ideas in ur head just come too fast, right? than nobody ever hears what ur thinking because if u start to say ur mind jumps to another thought and its lost.

im still learning how to cope, but before i go to bed at night i let my mind run even when the thoughts bring back bad memories i dont try to control them and when i begin to try and control them i realize how much simpler everything seems in my head. i still dont dont know how to get all the ideas out of my mind but i figure learning to control all the thoughts that come at once will help me voice the things i want to be heard. i dont know if its completely logical but i would suggest you try it…it couldnt hurt. :)
