literally 😭
In a conversation when I get excited and have complex ideas to share but when I try to say them I have the vocabulary and speaking abilities of a 5 year old.
Having words is not the problem. I have all the words, the best words, big beautiful words, they're just stored somewhere in a very logical place for them to be that I don't remember and I don't want to use the fresh ones coming in because look at them they're shiny and new don't touch them. (I feel weird using words I just read because I get self-conscious. It doesn't make sense, no.)
I find that shaking my hands frustratedly while repeating the placeholder word at a higher frequency helps people understand what I'm trying to say to talk to me later
