I say like and um with no greater frequency than when I'm alone, talking to my camera

bc you feel nervous about the video having too much silence - it's actually the same principle, and the same part of your neuro-processing.

I don't know why I say "like" and "um/uh" so often. I also speak pretty slowly compared to others. No one calls it out, but I notice it. I live in California, maybe that has to do with it. I even carry my speech into text which is probably annoying to other people. Soorryy.

It’s literally a natural linguistic function. Filler words appear when our brain is still processing what we wish to say while we’re speaking. I mean, English has 1 million+ words, so we’re bound to lag sometimes. “Um” and “like” are our verbal hourglass mouse cursors.

People mock us California folk for using “like” and “dude” in our sentence structures so much, but we can convey three sentences’s worth of abstract concepts into them just by inflection, so language sticklers can die mad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As someone who inadvertently adopted California slang into their daily vocabulary, let me tell you that it's definitely made things a lot easier for me. 10/10 would recommend.

I particularly would rage against people hating "and then he was like" because I would note that it was pretty similar to in Latin when they essentially say, "And then Aeneus thus:"

This!! I only gradually realized as an adult how many of my speech patterns were formed to hold space. I was constantly interrupted by people with louder / more masculine voices and more self-confidence than me.

Also 1,000% sure I wouldn’t have had half the intellectual awakening in AP English Lit if 92% of the class hadn’t been women. I could finally speak! And discovered I had things to say. Only hope I didn’t wind up trampling over anyone else.
