In my case, I blame the habit of mimicking Beavis and Butt-Head as a teenager. Sounds like a way around the problems you describe might be to use shorter sentences and engage in small conversations as you follow the STAR [1] format -- not to attempt to answer it all in one go. Also, asking for verification that your listener understands the same thing as you thought you said as you go will increase your confidence, and likely reduce the occurrence of these stumblings. I blame the isolation of pandemic for people getting out of the habit of these interactions, and causing such stumblings to be more noticable. I am not a doctor and this is just my opinion, etc [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situation,_task,_action,_result https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situation,_task,_action,_resul...
