I've been on this forum for a while. I've noticed, due to hindsight, I sometimes write irrelevant posts with respect to the context. It may be caused by my anxiety. So I am left wondering how can I make my messages (oral or written), more concise, and direct?

In the offline world, it is not that much of a problem but I have to admit sometimes I just ramble while talking to friends.

I don't find your posts irrelevant at all SS. I think you have very good communication skills. I for one don't always respond as much as I'd like or as extensively because I am feeling very tired and depressed. That's not a reflection of the quality of your posts or anyone else's. Maybe you're a bit too hard on yourself? You said it's not a problem in the offline world. that's a really good sign! It is much harder to connect with people via written word only versus in person. if you feel like it's going well in person, I think you've nothing to worry about.

Keep being yourself. You are good as you are!

Thank you for the feedback, Silver. However, I've noticed it's not always the case that I am not rambling. Not that I can be perfect in any way, but I still think it's an issue to ponder upon.

It's totally fine to vent, and you can let people know that you are venting.

Someone told me that my communication skills are getting better. I don't know? I find it hard to tell. I believe my talking is like everyone else.

Can't tell that for sure but it could be "auto-learning" just by talking daily.
