Lose Track of what your saying

Post Reply New Topic

See lately, I've been learning how to "fake" body language. So I've been working harder to fake body language when talking to people especially with my job. But with putting so much thought and energy into body language and expression, I loose track of what I'm saying much more often then when I'm being naturally aspie. It also comes back the fact that I suck at multi-tasking. Its hard to fake expressiveness and concentrate with what Im trying to say at the same time

Anyone else have similar experience.

I also cannot multitask and I ramble on so much I forget what I was talking about.

I lose track of what I am saying frequently, but it is usually because I am thinking far ahead of what I am actually speaking and sometime because I am thinking of several trains of thought at once and get them confused with whatever I am trying to actually say.

I sometimes lose track of what I am saying. I don't know how often it happens because I don't keep count but I hate it when it happens. I have all these words in my head to say and sometimes I just lose track of those words and I have to find them again to continue talking. Even I can get distracted from what I was talking about when someone else talks about something else or if what we were talking about drifted onto something else. I have no idea about my own body language.

Same, and then anxiety sets in as a result of realizing that I'm trailing off/desperately reaching for a way to verbalize the thoughts in my head with some form of clarity. I don't know if I really concentrate on body language per se, but I'm always conscious of forcing myself to make appropriate facial expressions since my natural state is not to make any at all.

Me too. My words get all jumbled up into nonsense cause my brain's saying one thing and my mouth another.

I'm pretty sure I have a tendency to omit words from my speech, which tends to make it sound like nonsense at times. My mind is also often bouncing around from idea to idea and not fully putting them in "order", and so what I say seems kind of jumbled among the more complex things I express, so I think this might be some kind of verbal memory limit like verbal working memory or something.
