No idea how I found this Substack but I’ve enjoyed the posts. Unlike you, I regret blabbering more than silence. But both problems are solved by practice.
"To get to where I want to be, I have to keep writing, keep communicating, keep attempting. I can’t be silent. I think of it like playing darts. When you start, most times the dart doesn’t even make it onto the board. You just have to keep throwing darts over and over to get closer (on average) to the center." I had to also comment around this. I am literally having this same problem. A good problem to have though. Writing is a discovery
"A quality I really admire is precision, granularity. Sometimes I read someone’s writing and I’m like holy shit… it’s so exact. It feels like someone decisively struck the chord they wanted to, a perfect and beautiful note carrying itself clearly through space. How does this person know everything I’m feeling! Why does it feel like this piece was written just for me in this whole wide world?" I literally just wrote this in another post of yours!! Coincidence or fate?

Agree that precision in writing is an art form! Love the way you framed this piece!
