I forgot how to speak

I noticed the other day after I had finished doing some drawing and modeling for an architecture class in almost complete silence, I had trouble linking together a coherent sentence.  Is this just my brain in the process of switching form the right to left hemispheres? Is there a psychological reason, for that? or am I just crazy? Please no hate, I just thought it was interesting, and thought maybe some of yall would too.

this has potential to be a legit and interesting thread. I'm intrigued to find out the answer too.

hahaha, funny thing is, I never have. So it's a legitimate quandary, right?

Lay down, take a bath, eat some soup, and rap a hot towel around your head.

That would be a side-effect of architecture school. Wait until your first review: you won't remember your own name.

Sometimes when I'm super hungover, I struggle with sentences and with answering simple questions like "Would you like a cup of tea?"

It's pretty bad.

I just started commuting for my third year of college. I don't know too many people so i find myself hardly talking for the sometimes twelve hours that im on campus.

Once I go chill with my friends back at my town, the first few sentences i say feel kinda weird.

Basically, i agree with you.

I'm not surprised at all.

When I was studying for the GRE's and learning all the vocab, my ability to form sentences became worse and worse. I was forgetting simple words for things. Oh sure, you want to know what desiccate means but I can't think of the word freeway.

Although, for me it really didn't get that much better. I have a tendency to start a sentence. Then when I get to describing something that requires one of those vocabulary words, I have to sit there and think about which one. I suppose it will get better as I bring them into my vocabulary.. but its annoying.

But back to your deal, sounds like the same thing as my deal. Get so focused on having the brain work a certain way that it temporarily loses its normal day to day function.

broca's area lolz.

part of brain that does speech production. not sure why it wouldn't work after lots of work. probably stress and constant scrutinization on something?

We learned about this in psych today. A common symptom, among others, of sleep deprivation, is difficulty in performing small tasks such as making a sentence.
