I got some communication issues, I guess. I'm 18 [View all]

I have a hard time speaking the exact point on my mind whenever I'm confronted by people louder than me (in person). I often times find myself making points that are totally true and that I stand by, but then someone will ask me a question completely unrelated and this genuinely burns me out every time. I need tips on navigating situations like this, please. Any helps!
