Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I taught it once, felt the rush of finally getting it, and stopped there
- I can recite the what of this topic fine, but the moment I imagine a sharp beginner asking me why it works or what happens if you change one piece, I realize I have no answer
- I think I understand something until I try to actually say it out loud to someone, and then I fall apart at the parts I’d glossed over
- When I explain this to an actual person and they say "wait, I don’t get it," I have to scramble for a whole different angle on the spot
- People around me keep cheering "you’ve got this!" and it bounces right off
