I am grateful for the loving compliment on my writing abilities.

I showed my life partner the business piece I wrote on Friday. Yesterday, he told me how impressed he was by the content. He said it was articulate and professional. It absolutely floored him. My comprehension of business and conveying thoughts through the written word was not what he expected.

I have social anxiety.

In-person conversation causes a lot of anxiety. I will stumble over my words and overexplain myself out of fear.

I am not saying he thought I was stupid. That is the opposite. He was simply impressed by my ability to express my intelligence using the written word. Before this, he had only seen my verbal communication skills.

Conversations were had.

This led to a discussion on my college studies. He was unaware of the complex nature of my business understanding. He assumed I was studying how to launch a business and just listening to the government. He was unaware of how complex the entirety of the topic becomes. He did not understand the metrics of business, statistical information, business plan comprehension, development processes, etc.

He is the most intelligent person I know, yet I broke his brain!
