I have said “my brain isn’t braining” several times, people have always understood.

jadedwench@lemmy.world 1 week agoI absolutely hate it when my language center segfaults and I feel like I have aphasia. I will go through periods where it happens a concerning amount, and then back to a sprinkle of dysfunction. Forgetting simple words or names of people you have known for years is unsettling. I sometimes get really scared and panic if it happens a lot. Trying to explain to your coworkers on a conference call that your brain isn’t functioning correctly isn’t the most comfortable experience.

Just tell them that they are dramatic pauses!
It worked once for me, but I think the person who laughed also has ADHD.
