@BethanyBlack If I'm excited about a social interaction ("event" or "occasion" are terms too grand for anything I'm likely to be involved in), I find myself compulsively gaming it out and rehearsing all the witty banter I'm likely to require.

So when the curtain finally rises I'm struck dumb by sheer exhaustion and the feeling that I'm repeating myself.

(I've never sought a diagnosis of Asperger's or ADHD, because things are bad enough without having to leap to my feet and cry "trans bingo!")
