My conversational skills are terrible. It’s certainly the main thing that’s held me back in jobs and relationships.
If it’s around people I know incredibly well, I can do ok. A couple of beers can improve it further. Well, beers don’t improve it, but it makes me care less that I talk gibbledegook.

A lot of the time I’m speaking, it all comes out strange. What’s in my head usually doesn’t translate to my tongue, and I say all sorts of incoherent rubbish. It leads to people misunderstanding me or getting the wrong end of the stick. I feel it is worsening too.
