And, after forgetting the original point after 30 seconds, I will have five new directions to choose from in said monologue, and will only wait for a beat or two before choosing the one I think most interesting/apt, if you don't first show a preference. Sometimes, I might even have the foresight to prescreen such an ardent, earnest infodump for content. Sometimes.
My social anxiety would love to give a one word answer and move on, my ADHD/self-doubt/trauma says "are you sure that's enough? they'll think you are an idiot and don't know what you're doing if you don't elaborate"
I always start with a single idea in mind, talk about something related to it for 15 minutes and then forget what the fuck my original point was. Like the other day I wanted to just explain how Portal can display an unlimited number of "mirrors" for the hall of mirror effects if you change a console command, but then went off talking about the momentum and physics of the portals instead.

But before I elaborate I'll need to explain 4 things that are going to come up during the story

I'm feeling inferior over here next to Mr. 900 IQ with his 30 second working memory capacity.

Coworker/friend/loved one: "So why is XYZ happening?"
Brain: Aww yiss. I will anticipate all possible questions and forks in the conversation, say it all, thus saving everyone time.
Brain: Wait. Remember how you've been trying to keep it brief? Try that now.
Me: "Well, it was 8:30am after all."
Coworker/friend/loved one: "Er ... I'm sorry what now?"
Brain: They took the bait. THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE
Me, 5 mins later: "... yeah so anyway, what was the question again?"

When my kid hears me start a sentence with "okay, listen:", he gets a look of terror and regret on his face.

Mid elaboration ill forget what my point was only to say "well yeah.. you know what i mean" in hopes the other person reminds me of my point.
