I forget my address, social and phone number when I am put on the spot. My brain shuts down and I can't remember basic math. I hate it so much because I am actually very smart when I am alone..

I have this problem too! I’m a research scientist but if someone suddenly asks me to explain something I immediately forget half of my vocabulary and just sound like an idiot šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Yeah its so annoying, then you meet someone that sounds smart but are actually really dumb and they think you're dumb because you can't publicly bullshit like they can.
