I remember I used formal words when I was younger, a lot of times were inappropriate.
Now it looks like I can't have a normal conversation and I often block mid sentence or when I speak I need to think about every words.
It looks unnatural and it seems like I'm a foreigner.

I constantly talk to myself and try to come up with things I might use when talking to others.
I've never had an easy time communicating with other means that NTs pick up on easily so I have to compensate with learning new words.
It could be autism since most people get away with using braindead language while we have to remain sophisticated and precise.

Brutal. Everyone hates a pedantic little shit, I sadly happened to be one. Middle school bullies and foids would make fun of me and accuse me of reading dictionaries in my spare time for relaxation. JFL.
