When I talk, I am super self conscious about whether I am an idiot or not. It usually leads to more fumbling where I do actually become an idiot.
When I'm quiet I do feel a sense of unease, depending on who I'm with. I've taken to being careful about who I surround myself with at a personal level. If I can't be quiet with you, my natural state, than I'm probably avoiding you altogether.
I feel you on every point but I end up replaying in my head those instances where I think I sounded dumb and think too much about about how I could've done better :/
