Tell a joke or story in a linear fashion. I'm always fucking up, or realizing halfway through that I've left out an important detail. It's how my mind works but I'm sure it's frustrating to others. Plus I just get flop sweat sometimes.

I just always give too much context to my stories, and quickly realise that I'm giving context for context for context and cant remember my point.

My closest friend is very similar here though, and we can have great long conversations that are 20 layers deep of tangents and forgetting our original points. We also sometimes yell 'pin' at eachother as a shorthand for 'lets put a pin in this' which basically means that at some point we're trying to remember what we wanted to say at that point because it was fun.

i have the opposite issue, i start telling a story trying to make it interesting and engaging and then feel like im running out of time before people disengage so i rush through and sum up 75% of the story in a few sentances and say "so yeah thats pretty much it".

I can only tell jokes I don't find funny myself. Normally I can't controll my laughing after the first couple of words.

I wish so bad I was better at telling stories. Not that I have many, but still
