Rant about sudden adult onset Hi, everyone! I have pristine perfect and fluent speech, but a year ago my brain somehow suddenly decided to hide this fact. I love speaking, both person-to-person and on stage, I love raising my arm in class, I love arguing, in any situations that involve speech I am the first. But literally overnight it happened – I realized I couldn't speak normally anymore in class, and later on with my classmates and relatives as well. On the one hand, I am grateful that for sure my brain knows how to speak normally, and I don't have any problems whatsoever when speaking to particular people. But in those weird, odd, unfamiliar moments of speech alterations I don't feel like myself anymore – I know I am a good and brave as hell speaker, but my brain decides to replace all this with something I am not. And then it feels like losing sight or a limb during adulthood as opposed to being born with it. Perhaps it's possible to get used to it, but I don't even want to, I just want to be myself again
