Anybody else have problems converting their thoughts to speech?

Sad Nana 
I've noticed this problem getting worse for 5 years or so.

My thoughts are pretty clear, but when I try to say what I'm thinking, it just doesn't come out right.

Sometimes I struggle to find the right word. I search for it but I can't find it.

I have almost none of these issues when I'm writing/typing.

Everything is completely fine. It's just when I try to talk that things go astray.

Yes, it's embarrassing... but it's more concerning than it is embarrassing.

I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but I am certainly not as dumb as it makes me sound.

Make sure to get enough exercise and sleep.

Also, I mostly watch videos and don't read much except the occasional websites I visit.

Maybe if you interact with more people on a regular basis.

Me exactly! Especially on my off days. [Depression/anxiety taking over]
I also think it's because I'm given to a fanciful imagination, meaning I allow my thoughts
to run rampant. Most of the time, it's me that allows it but on those off days it's just
mood/chemically induced. Endogenous chemicals, not drugs or anything.

It's a hard one to get ahold of for sure. I just try to accept that there's a reason for it
and that when it IS in full-swing, don't sweat it. Let it run itself out. Baseline ain't far from there.

i used to, and still do at times due to complexity of thoughts. my main goal in the old vc was always to practice my oratory skills, to convert the mental holograms i process into a compelling vocal english performance.

the issue i run into these days isn't my ability to convey info, nor others ability to recognize it, but they won't act on it. it doesn't 'click' within them. the puzzle piece isn't added to the picture. sometimes i feel this in real time mid sentence and i start trippin up.

I started having this happen in 2014-ish, but it wasn't on a level that was concerning. Had to pull the camera back from surface static just to survey the degree to which I had been
removed from myself,

and proceed from there. 

If I had to guess a cause, I would say it's social media and a massive uptick in texting over talking, or trading voices instead of sharing a dialog. 

Confucius to child: We are all one.
Child to Confucius: When will we meet another All-One so we're not alone?

When we separate from each other, we separate from ourselves. Not to be an unreliable narrator within my own post, but I'm not sure if that was posy or truth.

Same here.

The main problem for me is that connections that seem obvious to me need to be broken down step-by-step for other people to follow along.

It makes me feel a whole lot better to know I'm not alone.

It's not so much deliberate verbal shorthand as an autonomic function.

It must seem to others that I'm jumping from a premise to a conclusion, and omitting the obligatory three paragraphs in between.

Whereas it seems to me that they lack a certain associative thinking faculty that I take for granted.

Associative thinking is what the mind supposedly does when a person isn't actively directing their thoughts. I guess I make the mistake of assuming everyone else is able to tap into it the same way I do.

Yeah, I all too often forget that most other people don't "think" like I do. [Thoughts often race]
They feel like I'm jumping chasms but when I fill in the blanks, they obviously get it.
I just don't always paint the whole picture as accurately as some need it to be done.

I also find frustration is sometimes embedded between my thoughts and spoken word.
Kinda like my mind racing with thought, fluidly and with total cohesion, but then my getting
it out is on a slower speed. I sometimes even use the wrong words. Did it earlier tonight.

Frustration.
