Report this thread to the mods and be done with it.
Alternatively, I hope some members chime in about how speech difficulties affect them.
In the short run, giving quick answers, people likely think I am normal.
Eventually, though, they detect that my speech reflects
something is wrong with me.
One job interview, one person burst out laughing. In another they slammed their notebook closed when I "gave myself away". I could go on and on.
The two major problems seem to be1. Saying the right thing. I so desperately want to say the right thing, but what is it? Not always sure.
2. Solid Fluid/cohesive language - I'm great at direct, quick answers. But many people have laughed at me if I have to do long speech where multiple topics need to be cohesively bridged. I don't have that talent. Good NT speakers are like ballerinas in this respect. Even if I wrote it out, it would be stilted, logical, ordered, structured ...
I have always wondered about this ...
