Why do I feel like I know more than I can explain? Is there a name for it?

I've always felt like I understand things more than I can explain them. I can definitely explain and I do ok, but my explanation does not do justice to how much I know or understood... It's frustrating.

It especially happens when I know the gist/main part of the topic but not very well-versed in.... I know you'll be thinking "well that's the reason, because you're just simply not very knowledgeable about it". I get that.

It's more like when I read about a topic, it doesn't matter how interested I was reading it, when I then go explain it to someone else, I find myself giving a superficial explanation and sometimes forgetting the right keywords and terminology that describes it better.

I'm not sure if anyone else here relates. Is it an AuDHD thing? Or a sign of some other neurological disorder?

I'm 30 years old and I speak two languages. This problem is happening to me in both of them. I haven't mastered English yet, and l'm also losing my fluency in Arabic due to mostly using English, so I really suck at both of them.

I want to note tho that this is mostly a problem when I speak verbally, but in writing, I can take more time to compose my ideas a bit better.

Some other facts about me: • i don't like writing much, and I remember struggling with writing a story in my original language Arabic... in year 10... in the "story writing" unit.

• I'm very analytical, but I read and acquire information more than I produce them. I mean most of my analyses and the new information I come up with stay in my head because I just can't be bothered with explaining them most of the time.
