I can present in front of an audience of all kinds.

 

No problem discussing my scientific work.

 

Leading workshops.

 

Even moderating, on the rare occasions.

 

And then I go to a store, want to ask about something I don’t know the name of…

 

And suddenly my brain goes into 20 IQ mode.

 

All the intelligence and eloquence… poof — gone!

 

Does anyone else experience this? Please tell me I’m not the only one.

 

I was thinking about enhancing the photo with AI, but I think this is a better representation of how my brain feels during those moments. 😂
