Constant Refinement: writing strength but speaking weakness - ADD ...

Believe it or not (for those who have seen some of my rants <_ but="" i="" actually="" a="" pretty="" good="" writer="" academically="" and="" otherwise.="" also="" talking="" about="" more="" practical="" things="" such="" as="" sending="" really="" well="" crafted="" e-mails="" or="" just="" phrasing="" in="" all="" the="" right="" ways.="" this="" is="" even="" before="" diagnosis="" adderall.="" many="" times="" entire="" process="" occurs="" very="" quickly="" marked="" by="" refinement="" rewording="" rewriting="" edits="" over="" again="" eliminating="" weakness="" disingenuous="" tones.="" readability="25">

Casually speaking with friends, family and peers are as normal as everyone else. But when it comes to talking aloud to others and explaining a point of view, perspective, and/or argument...the entire process sort of blows up in my face. Worst of all it, I feel that it comes off as uncertainty which is exactly what I try to prevent.

Even while I am making a point and/or are in the middle of a sentence, I'm subconsciously second-guessing and thinking of an even better way to say what I'm already currently saying. This does not translate well at all into speaking and I often stumble. It's almost a pointless kind of indecisiveness that defeats the purpose of the interaction.

Obviously this is circumvented by memorizing and/or preparing lines beforehand. But it's not always practical. Speaking effectively on the fly is also something that I desperately want to master. I feel I've missed out on at least one job opportunity because of this happening during a very comprehensive interview.

Does anyone else even do this? It's such a dumb problem. I know its better to be able to clearly convey a "B+" idea than to half-*** deliver something that would be technically better. I don't even know when this started happening. It very well could be the medication...I'll have to try presenting or interviewing without it and see.
