      A little hint too: Don't be afraid to write the thing you don't know.
      Admitting things you don't know in writing, whether you seek the answer for it or not later, will help ground your perspective of that which you don't know. Its a hard thing for humans to admit, but if you can at least admit it for yourself, you will also notice how that changes your thinking too.

    As a person who has yearned to be understood in society, this was a difficult challenge and takes time. Coming from the hood, I've went down this path to become a more articulated person. I wanted to be taken more seriously and convey to others my thoughts or intentions clearly. Heres what helped me:
    1. Surround yourself with folks who are more articulated. If you dont know anyone, listening to podcasts, reading self-help books, or watching videos like this is a great start. Avoid listening to music or watching content that's dull, unproductive.
    2. Listen to yourself. Pay attention to the words you use and how they affect others. Try removing words such as umm, ahh, like, like, like as filler words when you're thinking too fast. Listen to how you finish words. Things like saying axe instead of ask is a big one.
    3. Anytime you hear a new word or phrase, write it down and look it up. Dont memorize, seak only to understand the word or phrase.
    4. Try to use those words throughout your normal day if possible. The more you use them, the more they will appear in normal conversation without you having to "feel" for them
    5. Reading poety out loud. This helps your voice not stay so flat. Keeps your pitch moving up and down while using words in a manner you're unfamiliar with.
    6. When asked a question, dont speak right away. Pause and give your mind a moment to form a more articulated sentence. Our brains are quick to use default words when we are not thinking. Give yourself an exra few seconds to actually think of a better word or phrase and respond accordingly.
    If you have more, please add. I'm always learning! Hope this helps someone!
    Edit: Fixed minor grammar and spelling pointed out by others. I appreciate the tips! I didn't expect this post to get as much attention! Thank you

      Great points and great to see you form these for others as well. To these I would also add,
      7. Read not just contemporary books but also those that are considered classics. The English (and I assume English to be the target here for articulation), in those classics, don't shy away from rigidness and flavor, and it did help me speak in similar manner as well.
      8. Write, write and write. With pen, on paper. Old school. It helps in organizing our thoughts and our speech centres also benefits from this.

      Great points, Chris. I also hear many many people these days who mangle past participles (I know one who continually says "should have did" instead of should have done.)
      In addition, I also hear a lot of mixed up subjective and objective pronouns (so hard to understand). If you're not sure about, "Me and my friends went to the mall," then cross out the "and my friends" and you get "me went to the mall." That'll tell you right away that "me" is the wrong subjective pronoun. Should be, "My friends and I went to the mall."
      It's the same with objective pronouns. Instead of "Would you like to go for ice cream with Jimmy and I?" Try, "Would you like to go for ice cream with I?" It makes it easier to say, "Would you like to go for ice cream with Jimmy and me?" Once you get these pronouns down pat, you'll hear people mangling them all over the place, sadly. Keep up the learning journey, it'll keep you young! 😄

      @@dalelerette206 Did you know that the Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as the "Spirit of Truth"? Also, you might think this is very interesting if you have never read it. The following is the opening passage of the gospel account of John:
      "1 In the beginning was the Word (logos), and the Word (logos) was with God, and the Word (logos) was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind. 5 And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it."
      I believe that those opening verses are beholding the eternal reality of Jesus as Divine Logos. Another very relevant verse to meditate on is John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

      Wow that hits home! I have been thinking more and more about that lately. It seems the more someone doesn’t know about something the more they add words that THEY don’t fully comprehend but use anyway to convey their intelligence and understanding of the subject matter… but all it does is confuse the listener who doesn’t understand AND the one who does. In the end everyone is less clear on the matter. But the biggest takeaway is, no one is going to look to you again as a the person to ask for clarification from, it puts you on the outside. It’s better to be a listener who learns than to speak fodder and rhetoric leaving EVERYONE dumber for having listened to you.

      You should read the book of Ecclesiastes. Jordan Peterson can offer some good counsel, but something that I believe can be learned from the book of Ecclesiastes is the value and place of wisdom, and what true wisdom really is, from the wisest man there was until Christ came (who is greater than Solomon).
      But even though I Ecclesiastes rightly stresses the value of wisdom, it also stresses the futility of it - that is, without God. The same fate happens to both the wise and the foolish. All will die and face the Creator. Wisdom is better than folly. But they’re both futile without consideration for eternity. Jordan Peterson, again, does have some very real value to hearing him. But the very beginning of wisdom, according to the very Scriptures of God, is the fear of the LORD. Jordan Peterson does not have faith in Jesus Christ, to my knowledge, and the wisdom he offers isn’t true wisdom. The wise and the fool both perish. So if you haven’t, please repent of your sins and believe in Jesus Christ today, because whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame!

      The reason an articulate person is held in high esteem is because the person listening gains the grace in what is conveyed. (It's easy to consume. The effect is like a healing-balm because the words conveyed have meaning, or it's useful, and it is easily understood, and so it has a calming effect as a result, which is appreciated). Therefore, we should aim to be one of those people, since we all talk much, so we should strive to do it well, because it encourages the other person to mirror it in response. Ultimately, if we accomplish good communication and also treat each other well, it is pleasurable to be around that person, as well as interesting (i.e. it's rewarding).

    Before lockdown began where I live, I wasn't very articulate. Mostly because English is not my first language, but I knew how to speak it well regardless. But because I was inarticulate, I had difficulty starting conversations and holding them. So much so that every time I was part of a group conversation, I was always waiting for an opportunity to jump in and contribute to it. And by the time I came up with a way to include myself, the conversation had already died down and everyone had lost interest. I felt like a background character, an NPC. I started to feel really lonely.
    The inarticulate person that Jordan Peterson described, vague and useless, that was exactly what I didn't want to be. So once lockdown started, I prepared for when I would re-enter the outside world. I knew I had a problem and I started looking for ways to solve it. As unproductive as it sounds, I just watched more UA-cam videos, specifically more video essays about some of my interests, but also some other interesting topics I stumbled upon in my recommendations. I started to observe how people express themselves in the videos, their mannerisms, their expressions, their expansive vocabulary, everything that made a person look interesting while having a conversation. I wanted to be that kind of person, who stands out so much when they talk. So I copied it in the best way possible and rehearsed it in my head. I started looking for synonyms of common words I use and applying them to my speech and writing.
    Immediately when I came back to school, still in lockdown, I hadn't become more successful at making friends like I expected. But I noticed many things. For one, I started reading English literature much better, and when I come across a new word I've never heard of before, I read it perfectly the first time. I also started to understand the literature much easier, whereas before I struggled a lot to find the hidden meanings. But the most important thing I noticed was that when I talked to people, I started to better understand what they were talking about.
    Today, it's really easy for me to talk to people. I'm not as afraid of reaching out to new people as I used to, and I can hold conversations much better. I often give advice to my friends since I've become more approachable. Hell, everyone has started to tell me that I'm really easy to talk to. Being more articulate can really change someone.

      Well done. I can tell from reading your text that you have achieved the goal you sought as each sentence has structured reasoning and logically progresses the story.
      What you will find over time is that the ability to express is just a part of the problem. The goal next, if I may suggest, is to expand your knowledge base with foundations that your mind can consider axiomatic. To do this I suggest a few books to get you on your way. The Self Gene by Dawkins. This will give you a grounding on why life on earth is the way it is, in particular the way men and women differ, the goals each sex has as objectives and the underpinning reasons. Add some philosophy (you are here so thats a good start). This together should give you the basics of human organization and relationships. I then suggest something odd, "A short history of nearly everything" by Bryson. Understand "why we know what we know" from that book a the he methods we used to understand the basis of science. I also suggest you consider a basic investigation of a book on programming called "Design Patterns". Don't buy it, just read overviews. This book will give you a map on "how humans solve problems". It's meant to be a book on programming, but it's very generic, and once you see the patterns, you can see the organisation that can rise from chaotic environments in chaos.
      I would suggest that once you have axims in your mind you harden it up to 'outside ideas' increase skepticism and withhold judgement on most things. The best approach to this is a system of rationality where you never entirely discount possibilities, just think in vague probabilities and always assume that you can be wrong, and often will be. Over time, experience and ability to recognise human patterns and patterns of behavior will make you a good predictor of future outcomes or events.
      I would say at that point you are dangerously intellectual as you are entirely independent of external thought, guided by your own philosophy, able to solve problems on your own with accuracy, but while maintaining backup plans as you assume some level of inaccuracy. I would also suggest you get in a gym and get strong Ryan Humiston\Jim Wendler are good sources of programs.

    When you become articulate, it doesn't protect you. In fact, it invites even more people to come after you and try to take you down. The difference is is that you will no longer be afraid, as long as you are clear in your mind about what you intend. You will no longer be afraid because you can trust yourself. Articulation brings unshakable trust in your own being. Because you can always know your purpose, and for the very few people who have genuine curiosity about your situation.
    It doesn't change anybody's mind, but it gives you your own firm foothold. And when you need to climb, there's always something to grab onto. Inarticulate people are genuinely lost lost. Don't be one of them. Articulation puts you into clear firing range of every critic. But it also allows you to fight back.

    I feel that I struggle to articulate myself in most situations. Similar to Dr. Jordan Peterson when he first began, I am probably able to articulate myself 5% of the time. The other 95% I stumble over my words, anxiety takes over, and I use a lot of filler words. I say this because we all start somewhere and none of us are born with the skill to articulate. It is a skill that can be developed and improved over time.
    Dr. Jordan Peterson lays out the importance and necessity to be articulate. Being articulate and saying what you merely believe to be true will thrust you into an adventure of a lifetime. My first step in becoming more articulate is writing this UA-cam comment. It is a small step, but a step in the right direction nonetheless. I hope to comeback to this UA-cam Comment Section and document my progress and I hope anyone reading this will accomplish everything they set their minds to.

Most people don't really listen to others---and yet it is deeply satisfying to the other person to know that you are carefully paying attention to them in a respectful way. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to take a little time to collect your thoughts before speaking.

    I've heard about this 'gaming' approach to rewards. Like in games if you kill a boss you get a better sward to kill a bigger boss. So you get something that will allow you to improve your progress in this area. Taking this into account, an appropriate reward for investing consistently and with discipline would be a better MacBook or a new car - something that would allow you to make your investing more effective or joyful, or at least something to encourage you to work harder

    One huge key as a facilitator is to create and protect space for inquiry, silence, perspective-sharing, and deep-listening. Too few who seek to lead thought, facilitate, or "teach" lack the faith in their followers, conversational peers, or students to allow time and space for them to engage in a truly meaningful way.

    Pescador de Hombres, thanks so much, as always. I realized how important language was- precise language- when I thought I knew how to speak. I was arrogant, until in college I realized that I couldn't write. I really didn't know how to do so. It was shame, and the demand for respect, that motivated me, and eventually I became an English teacher. I am very grateful for that. I'm paraphrasing here, but it was Frederick Douglass that said something like learing to read was a blessing and a curse, for only then did he truly realize that slavery is in the mind. He also said that once you learn to read, you shall FOREVER BE FREE. Lois Lowry, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, are also a great inspiration, and of course, the words of the Messiah. I feel very blessed, and indeed I am. Thank you! The Gates of Hades shall not prevail.

    I am always told how articulate I am. My husband comments on it. My friends, new people I meet, old bosses…you name it. “You’re so good with words” “you say it better than anyone”, “you speak like a poem”
    I read a lot & I always have. I also don’t speak unless I know what I’m talking about so the “umm” “like” “mmm” rarely happen because my brain knows what it’s trying to say. I recommend to read a lot. Write a lot too
