Do you ever try to explain things but can't get it out verbally?

[Nocturnal]

At work here I have to talk to people all the time. Often times I call for help when I don't know something. When I start to explain the situation I sometimes either say things that are not needed, and then repeat myself and add words like "yeah, uh, ok,"

I sound like that lady in office space sometimes.

all the time. I have a lot of trouble sometimes communicating verbally, like I just can't think of a word or a phrase. Yet, when I'm writing, the words just flow without me even thinking. Sometimes, if it's important, I'll actually stop talking and write it out to see what I want to say. I'm weird like that.

Yep, I do that as well. I trace it back to when I was a child and had lots of trouble talking; I spent most of my time reading and writing, and so I think that's why it translates over.

I don't have trouble explaining things but sometimes things come out the wrong way. One night I was looking at a playboy at my friends house and decided it would be sweet to tell my wife thats what I find so great about her is that she is not perfect like these girls. I wanted it to sound like she was uniquely beautiful and way better than those women in the mag but things didn't go over like that. I still hear about it today.

That's why we need telepathy.

Alot of times people will ask me stupid questions or joke and im not always fast thinking in such unexpected sitations.

Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?

You're just not articulate enough. It takes a good vocabulary and mental preparedness.

Some people have a way with words, and some people...not....have...uhhh....way..I guess.

All the time. I'm a visual thinker; I think in pictures, basically.
