Many people in India believe their communication struggles exist because of English.
“I know what I want to say, but my English is weak.”
“My vocabulary isn’t good enough.”
“If I spoke better English, I’d be more confident.”
But if language were the real problem, something interesting wouldn’t happen.
You wouldn’t freeze even when:
-
You know the answer
-
You’ve prepared
-
You’re speaking to people you already know
Yet many people do.
That’s because the real struggle is not language.
It’s expression under pressure.
What’s actually happening
When the mind feels watched, evaluated, or judged, it shifts focus inward:
-
“Am I sounding smart?”
-
“What if I make a mistake?”
-
“What will they think?”
This internal dialogue disrupts expression. Words don’t disappear because of poor English. They disappear because attention is split.
This is why:
-
You speak better when relaxed
-
You struggle more in formal settings
-
Your voice changes under pressure
Clarity comes before fluency
When thoughts are settled, expression flows — even with simple words.
Good communication is not about perfect English.
It’s about alignment between thought, emotion, and voice.
Once that alignment exists, language becomes a tool — not an obstacle.
