People say my English in chat is “superb”… so why do I struggle so much during calls?
A friend once told me that my English in text messages sounds really good, but when it comes to calls or speaking in real time, I suddenly struggle to communicate properly.
And honestly, they’re right.
When I’m typing, I can organize my thoughts clearly and express myself well. But during calls or conversations, I start stuttering, overthinking my words, and sometimes my mind just goes blank.
It feels frustrating because I know what I want to say, but I can’t deliver it the same way I do through text.
What worries me even more is that I’m planning to apply for a company that I’ve been dreaming of getting into for a long time. I’m scared that I might fail again because in most of my past applications and interviews, I usually got rejected after the interview stage. I honestly feel like my communication skills, and somehwta my overall performance during interviews are what's holding me back.
I really want to improve because I genuinely look forward to getting into this company someday.
Has anyone else experienced this? How did you overcome it and become more confident during interviews and calls? Can anyone give me some advices?
