Are you an over-explainer? The Real Reason You Keep Over Explaining Yourself (And How to Fix It!)

Video Description

Are you an over-explainer? When we over-explain, it's usually to avoid or attempt to correct misunderstandings. However, this trait can often have negative side effects on our relationships. Simply put, the more words we use, the higher the chance of being misunderstood. In this video, I will share the connection between over-explaining and executive function in autistic adults. 1:1 Coaching: https://autismexplained.kartra.com/page/ga573 🎞️Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 0:44 I’m an over-explainer 3:00 Misunderstandings and the cons of over-explanation 7:57 Over explaining yourself 11:40 Prioritizing as an executive function skill ----------------------------------------------- 👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!! If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you! I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30. Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know. Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person. Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way. Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too. ➡️️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-FpBZR7DbpvNj5UrFN8qUA?sub_confirmation=1 👋Connect with me: ➡️️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aspergersfromtheinside ➡️️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/autismfromtheinside.com.au ➡️️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AspieFromInside ➡️️ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autismfrominside.bsky.social ➡️️ Written Blog: https://www.autismfromtheinside.com.au/blog ➡️️ Email: [email protected] Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my channel!
