So today in my 40s I learned that these pauses I sometimes make mid-speech that cause listeners to "interrupt" (they think I finished my sentence and are asking for what they missed) is potentially a sign of a speech disfluency all my life...down a rabbit hole I go.

I’ve been working on making my sentences shorter and qualifying them later as needed.
