To be fair, when I explain what I am thinking about to a friend my goal isn't understanding, it is creating mental illness and a sense that the world is not real.
When you're explaining what you've been thinking about to a friend, do you use a lot of metaphors/analogies/visceral hypotheticals?

I usually have exactly what I want to say in my head, butcher it when I get the chance to explain, then beat myself up for not being articulate.

I’m against lots/heavy analogies. They’re fun and interesting, but usually you can describe the specific situation just fine. I suspect the speaker often doesn’t realize how many interpretations of their metaphor there are + the listener can handle the explanation sans metaphor
