I have a sort of similar problem with stuttering. I tell people I stutter, and no one really believes me because it I don’t stutter in most common situations. But I get stuck on certain combinations of sounds when my brain is sort of working faster than I can talk. I often have to stop trying to say the word and pick a different one. It’s quite maddening especially when being precise is important.
- foxhop 6y agoI have this too. This post also makes me realize that my thoughts and writing don't stutter, but sometimes my spoken words do. I have to actively slow down and think out the words I will say to make sure I can say them, rather than only think or read them. This ends up manifesting as slowness to respond but it's actually because I'm having to check my work before I start speaking and even then I can still fuck it up. It would be great to listen /speak as fluidly as I think, without being an active process, but a passive process like everyone else.
