Not Quick on My Feet

Hi,

Feel free to direct me somewhere else.

The issue as I see it is that I am not quick on my feet in discussions or social situations. Or a better description is that I sometimes speak quickly but without thinking sufficiently leading to gross inaccuracies. I am effective though in problem solving but typically by myself. Grades back in school have always been very good. Thinking before I speak in group or tense situations has always been difficult. Some anxiety exists. I am not sure how much additional focus is needed versus just being able to access information based on shortterm or general memory that I need to tap. 5 to 10% of the time I am fine based on state of mind, but mostly not. As an incidental, I get along slightly better with foreign language speakers. The goal is to be better in these situations. This can be a real provlem in many situations. Ideas or additional questions welcome. I realize more information may be needed.
