Well now I really want pizza.

Also. I feel like as humans we don't feel more accurately than we speak, but we do feel FIRST. The brain center for thinking is built on top of the one for emotions. This means that the slower you all yourself to get, the more time you give for processing, the more you can discern your feelings.

So, as someone who does not practice this well, the old idiom holds true: "think before you speak."

That definitely seems right from just my own experience. A strong feeling first, potential to clarify the thoughts later.

Can both be true though? I definitely don't think everyone articulates even their well-formed thoughts as well as they could.
