I have poor rhetorical skills and struggle with verbal communication in general. What books should I read to improve? Sometimes I feel like a complete mute retard who has trouble forming even basic sentences.
you struggle with not getting raped by pakis jeet filth

>>25643147Just read well-written books in general and write a lot. Keep a journal and try copywork.
>>25643147Read out loud more often. Back in uni I spent a lot of time indoors and regularly held convos with people in comparison to highschool so my vocal muscles got weak and I started having a really mute voice, reading out loud made them up to par. 10-20 minutes is enough.
>>25643164What?
>>25643147>>25643182read out loud, preferably in front of a mirror like churchill
Progymnasmata
>>25643147Buy the biggest dictionary you can find and copy everything from beginning to end by hand, with pen and paper. Malcolm X wrote in his autobiography how he did this in prison, and it transformed him from someone who was barely literate and could only speak like a hustler to one of the greatest orators of the modern age. I did this and it unironically helped me become a better speaker as well. Try it.
>>25643147Just read. Read great realist novels, e.g. Tolstoy.
>>25643147>What books should I read to improve?You can't. It doesn't work like that. You need to go out and actually speak. For, say, 10,000 hours or so. You will never learn to do "not shutin things" from being a shutin.
>>25643147It is literally NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE for a book to teach you how to interact socially. You need to actually engage in it. Your brain needs to be actively struggling to adapt. You dopaminergic system needs to wage war against anxiety and win, so that you learn, internally, the successful patterns and the unsuccessful patterns.
