I think this may have something to do with stress levels and with emotions in general. I like to start meeting as observer without much emotions and prejudice.

I think this may have something to do with stress levels and with emotions in general. I like to start meeting as observer without much emotions and prejudice. Then that gives me some space and time for thinking and formulating position on the discussion. But in case I am center of attention in a busy discussion then somehow a paralysis of thoughts flow affects my expression accuracy. I think meditation in general may help to cope with emotions, thus make mind sharper under pressure.
