    If what you want to say is a 20mm cannon round then maybe dial it back a bit unless you’re trying to blow up family dinner

    When i get excited or angry my ability to articulate goes out the window. It usually comes out as mumbled gibberish

      I should get checked because I probably wouldn’t be such an interjection when I run ideas contrary to the current conversation.

      It’s funny, at the early stage, but I tend to get abandoned.

    I can relate to this. Sometimes I feel like my vocabulary is the thing lacking, I don’t know if that’s actually what it is but I’ve started to read books again because of it. Recently picked up Count of Monte Cristo and am liking it so far. Not sure if it’s helping, but it’s good.

      Aphasia sucks. There’s a dam between my brain and my mouth and sometimes the right word gets caught on it so I have to start throwing out cinnamon rolls

      “I have one main point I want to convey with five points of supporting evidence but actually each of those require arguing and some qualifications and point 4 is an essential part of the argument for point 1 and all of this reminds me of a funny conversation in a tv show that to me does a better job of explaining it but if you haven’t seen it what’s really important about that show is that it came out at the height of the War on Terror and -”

      You probably stopped listening around the word “supporting” and I don’t blame you for that

      Of course I can speak. I spend fifteen minutes practicing my order in my head first, of course. And then yeah, I probably get the words on the wrong order. But they’re all mostly there.

        This morning I spent like 1 minute in a meeting wanting to say something scrolling in my head but the mouth was not cooperating at all with the words, so after a bunch of time and noises I just say “fuck the words” which actually worked and only then after pausing and waiting for the mouth to sync properly was I finally able to speak.

      I’m autistic,and yes, I sometimes can’t speak.

      I try to say something, but instead it comes out in a way no one can understand.

      I also struggle to relate to this! My husband says he feels like this a lot, and I’m like, how? you’ve been speaking one language for 3 + decades, that’s plenty of practice lol! But that’s okay. He’ll get there eventually.

        Sometimes there is a disconnect between what your brain wants to do and what it does. Just requires a little understanding. It’s not like your husband can explain it either. The brain is complicated.

        Another example: sleep paralysis. It’s very weird but years ago I experienced it. I woke up but couldn’t move. Very scary and strange, but not that uncommon.

    I read / heard somewhere, that if you can’t really put somethings into words, you don’t understand it as well as you think you do.

      In the context of a technical discussion, that assertion might hold water, but this meme is referring to discussing one’s feelings.

      So, in a way, you’re kind of right.

      It’s bullshit. Some people have genuine issues speaking their thoughts from a variety of disabilities, and other people are just plain bad at explaining things
