Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I gave the full reasoning to one person and they lit up wanting more, gave the same thing to the next and watched their eyes go dead
• When I try to explain this to someone who knows nothing about it and they keep asking "but why does that happen?" at exactly the spots I’d normally skate over, I get stuck and exposed
• I get so deep into what I found fascinating in the analysis that I forget the person reading it just needs one decision answered
• I can explain it smoothly to myself, but I have a feeling I’m skipping right over the parts I don’t actually get
• When I tell my own stories I breeze right past the parts that light me up because they feel ordinary to me
