16 years old. How to speak out and not say too much?translated

October 23, 2026 · 1 min read

Reader question:

Hello. I am 16 years old. I don't know how to express myself correctly. I want to talk to someone and I don’t know how or to whom, so as not to say something unnecessary. In general, I can't find myself. I understand that the question and my words are not entirely correct, but I believe that you can help me.

Daniel

Priest's answer:

Priest Evgeniy CHEBYKIN

Hello, Daniil.

To put his thoughts in order, a person sometimes needs to read really complex books. I think you can start with any textbook on formal logic. Yes, at first it will not be easy, but if you really manage to do this, the thoughts in your head will gradually begin to line up, and the chaos will be replaced by order.

In addition, Daniel, if you want people to better understand your text messages, please do not forget to put periods, commas and other punctuation marks between words. I say this without reproach.

Please try, Daniel, to regularly go to church for worship, go to confession, partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, study well and do good deeds.

May the Lord help you!
