i can type for days but when i am talking with people its pretty difficult. the first half of my life i was almost partially mute in most situations only being able to really talk to close friends one on one. when people talk to me in public i find myself saying stuff that doesnt make sense. its like my brain cuts off when i go outside and i can barely understand words.

I’m not as bad as that, but I can’t really interact with people for more than 30 minutes. They my side of the conversation dries up.

I was diagnosed with auditory processing disorder. Basically, I mishear people, like 90% of the time. I have to constantly ask people to repeat themselves. Sometimes I get embarrassed and just nod and agree, even if I still don’t know what they said.
The more chaotic or loud the environment is, like a noisy cafe, the harder it is for me to understand other people.
When watching streaming services, like Netflix, I need subtitles on.
The auditory processing disorder was diagnosed about a year before I was diagnosed with schizoaffective. My theory, is that the APD is a cognitive impairment from my schizoaffective disorder.

Yes, I do struggle with this. It mainly applies in social situations, especially if I feel overwhelmed or out of my depth. To be honest I struggle with typing too. I’m not very eloquent.

Yes. I have trouble with that, but I’ve learned to keep myself entertained without communicating with other people.

Recently someone told voice is not coming out my mouth. It became evident anxiety gives me physiological problems. At times can’t hear properly. Other times freeze up while speaking.
I feel like a kid stuck in figuring out communication and social things.
