I feel stupid when I talk. I have troubles speaking words, but thinking them and writing i do extremely well in.

[Activi-T]

I feel stupid when i can't express a coherant thought because my brain moves onto what i want to say next.

yea, about the same here. I type well, but I'm a horrible public speaker. just horrible.

[Nev12]

I feel stupid when I'm having trouble to express myself in one language. I'm often replacing a "missing" word into one from a different language.

[JSeilaS]

Same here. I'm smart and I can be very eloquent with my words if under no pressure (time, presentation) but when it comes to speaking I tend to stutter and slur my words even if I know what I should be saying. I think I think too fast for my mouth.

[DETdream]

I feel stupid when I can't write simple words like "you're", "lose" and "coming".

I say this all the time. If I can somehow slow down the thoughts, I might make a coherent sentence, but usually it comes out weird and I say things I didn't even intend.

[Haven]

Most of the time, but it's mixed with the knowledge that 80% of people I know are even worse. It's like... I know that I'm stupid by my own measures, but at least I try to follow the example of real sages.

Same here but I also have the problem where I lose focus very easily and my mind starts thinking about other stuff, seriously most people just don't interest me in the least.

I'm not very good at "socialising" in groups or to girls, mainly because I'm deaf (with hearing aids) so I have to pay attention to what people are saying which is pretty difficult if they don't spark my interest, it sounds harsh but I'm a nice guy, I swear! It's probably why I really enjoy talking to folks online amongst other reasons.

You get better at keeping your words up to speed with your thoughts by talking to more people and practicing. And some people are just better at socializing than others. Not a very good measure of intelligence though.

Sometimes, especially on debates of semantics.

The worst part is when you have a bad teacher, and your argument goes over their head.
Being a bad teacher, rather than try to understand you, they belittle you and attempt to make you feel stupid.

I had one teacher who couldn't wrap his mind around the concept of "things that are constructed are artificial, not natural".
My essay had that assumption at the core of it, so of course I got poor marks on it. The topic was some random question for teaching debating and I don't remember it now.
Bloody teacher always marked you down if you looked at the world different than he did or thought differently.
We quickly learned that he wanted us to lie to him on our thoughts and to only tell him what he wanted to hear.
Marked down 10-20% for a solid, well reasoned, sourced and sited argument that commits no fallacies or extra for a crappy argument, but it goes along with his view of morality and how the world should work.

i feel stupid when i fail on things i told others not to fail on

[Disenchanted]

I'm fairly educated. A have a good knowledge base. I believe (hope) my ability to reason and use logic are fine. But if I get into a conversation about cars and engines with someone who knows their way around them, I feel pretty herp de derp. I am SO not mechanically inclined.
