    I don’t think I used to do this. I feel like I used to be so eloquent!

    But yet, now, I catch myself stopping mid-sentence, looking down and away at nothing in particular, maybe touching my temple like I’m Charles friggin’ Xavier, and twirling my hand in circles trying to search my head-database for the right words, or people’s names, or whatever.

    I’m sure that’d just be aces in a job interview…psh. I feel like it has a negative charisma impact.

    I want to think it’s just because I’m expected to know a ton more than before, but it also makes me worry about my mental acuity when I feel like I just feel like things I should know have leaked out my ears or something.

    My wife wants to play this stupid-ass game all the time, I hate it. It would not be too bad if the gesticulation and words trying to hint at it made sense…but It’s just her waving her arms like she’s having a seizure while mumbling nonsensically, and her getting annoyed at me becauae she doesn’t make any fucking sense.

      No one WANTS to play that game. I get it can be frustrating to deal with, but you also need to understand how frustrating it is for your wife. Maybe talk about what both of you should do when the need to play the game arises so its less stressful for both of you.
