(assumption)

ah you're one of those people who speaks in an unintuitive manner because you think a big vocabulary is better

but you have not considered that succinct and understandable is better

It's partially that, but I more use obscure definitions for words rather than their intuitive ones. The issue is I don't know what the average person will understand.

The bigger problem is probably that I'm super autistic and expect people to know what I'm thinking just because I know it. I write a thousand paragraphs clarifying useless details to try to be clear, and then somebody will be like "Okay, but you never even once mentioned what it is you're talking about," and I'll be like "Oh, I assumed by the fact that I said I was excited and mentioned several things that don't happen in real life that it was clear I was talking about a new game I was enjoying."
I never know what details are actually useful to clarify until somebody's getting confused about one of them (or usually more like 50 of them.)

Yeah I can relate a little bit. I was never that bad but I was kind of like that as a teenager and I am ever so slightly autistic, I think.

Think of caveman. Why use many word when few do trick? Even if it doesn't feel like your natural flow of consciousness, try to channel him, and simplify.
