Socially Awkward

I have difficulties communicating to people. It's easier for me to write than speak, thank god for texting lol. Anyway, so as a method of trying to over come my social anxieties I decided to draw attention to myself by wearing an old top hat on a regular basis. People still give me strange looks, but I don't mind it as much. I've gotten better, but I still have a long way to go.

How do you deal with being socially awkward? What are some suggestions on how someone can get over their own communication barriers. I swear for me, I need telepathy. I have a pretty good vocabulary, but it's not a problem of description, its a problem of putting my thoughts into words when my thoughts move to fast to put into words. Like I think in images and flashes of dream like ... like flipping channels a million miles an hour on a television, like taking so many video cuts and putting it into anything coherent is beyond what words can do for me.

I feel like I'm venting or ranting...

I really just want help in being able to express what I'm thinking and in just being understood.

Suggestions?
