Silverfairy,I do the same exact thing in the same circumstances..especially when I am stressed. The psychiatrists misdiagnosed me schizoaffective bipolar when it was really Dyslexic-related speech(cluttering). I always had problems with people misunderstanding my communications,but I always had problems misunderstanding other's communications...so mainly receptive-expressive language disorder which is common thing in Dyslexia. I also tend to be shy in communications including especially speaking in front of a whole bunch of people...I end up shaking badly and kinda stutter. It is one of the reasons that I tend to be withdrawn and don't like to socialize much. I am highly introverted. My issues make me humble though,but have grown up with inferior complex.
my indicator is the retrograde Saturn in Gemini in 9th oppose Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd,Mercury-Saturn-Neptune planetary declination synchronization,and Mercury conjunct Sun/Neptune midpoint
retrograde Mercury indicates a mind that tends to introspective,reflective and can be more of a rightbrained,nonlinear type of thinking that could lead to problems with learning and communications in certain degrees.
Its not necessarily bad...it can be good for meditation,reflecting,thinking profoundly about things,visual planning tasks in your mind before performing them,think about things carefully before you speak,take our time before we say and do things.
That's how I compensate for my strong Mercury-Neptune theme stuff,learning disabilities
