do you express yourself better in writing or speaking?

for me.. i think writing is easier.. i tend to get a little incoherent when i speak cause i will have gazillion thoughts running in my head and sometimes i just can't speak as fast as i think..

what about you?

    Eh, I like to talk. I find that writing... makes me mad because ithe recepient can take the tone or words in a different way.

    I love talking! But I also do enjoy writing and papers.

    Definitely writing. I'm a pretty good writer, but when I have to think on my feet I'm very bad at putting words together.

    Writing forces me to think about what I'm saying and whether it makes sense or not.

    I-I-I-I e-e-ex-ex-express myself b-b-b-better when I-I-I write. I'm a-a-a-also a bit s-s-s-s-shy and my eyes w-w-w-w-will jitter like I'm o-o-o-o-on LSD and then I go insane and s-s-s-s-s-s-start screaming.

    P-P-P-Ph-Phew.

    I express myself better when I write. For some reason my vocabulary expands when I have a writing utensil within my grasp.

    I can't express myself properly when I write... anger builds up and everything becomes jumbled.

    However, speaking doesn't work great either.

    So... I don't express myself.

    I express myself better when I speak. I find talking to others quiet natural and they seem to get the point of what I'm trying to say. I dislike writing because it forces me to sit there with a bunch of pre arranged research notes or thoughts in my head that i have to find some way to arrange into a coherent manner. I actually find it more comfortable to just speak my mind and i don't find oral presentations too difficult because i have gotten lots of practice with it and i actually took a business communications class on writing and speaking.
