Why Do I Over Explain When I Feel Put on the Spot?

What if you are not bad at communicating, but sometimes have too many thoughts arriving at once? In this episode of You’re Probably Right, MCM uses himself as the case study while exploring verbal processing, memory, social pressure, over explaining, and why some people communicate very differently when they feel watched, rushed, questioned, or evaluated. This is a reflective episode about what happens when your mind moves faster than your mouth can organize. MCM talks about why a person may remember stories but forget names, why a coherent explanation is not always the same as an accurate one, and why it helps to separate what happened from what we think happened and why we think it happened. The episode also looks at the difference between thinking out loud, teaching, over explaining, storytelling, and simply needing a better way to organize an answer. The practical lesson is not “talk less.” It is to select better. Give the headline before the documentary. Say the point. Let the other person respond. Then decide whether the rest of the information actually needs to be said. If you have ever felt like you communicate clearly when you are relaxed, but become scattered when you feel watched, rushed, corrected, or evaluated, this episode may give you a different way to understand what is happening.
