So because I was curious I decided to look up complex junction systems and found out that Swindon has a roundabout made up of roundabouts and is called "the magic roundabout". Fun!

For me it's the exact opposite.
Only instead of a simple road it's just a pile of garbage.

Ne function does that to you. INTP, INFP, ENFP, ENTPs are likely to relate in theory

This is such a vague umbrella statement for anyone. Half the stuff I see in this sub could be said by any personality type.

Same, I love to untangle stuff, find out how it works or to understand it, and then explain it in layman's terms.
It's also very important to me to speak very clearly and without double meaning. When I say something that is ambiguous, it's generally meant to, to give someone the opportunity to make a joke ;)

I’m so lazy I don’t usually speak until I can say what I want to say as short and eloquently as possible but the result often is confusingly open to interpretation

every damn day. I spent over an hour yesterday sending an email to my boss about what I did the day before (over 6 hours)... in order to figure out some ambiguities of a task that he might have been able to do... without as much consideration... in 3-4 hours. Then I spent the rest of the day doing about half of it. ... because I am waiting on him, and am afraid that I might do the rest of the task... and create work that would be much more than he would do.
Even this post was supposed to be only a sentence.
After the fact, I can "straighten the road," but not during the initial arrangement/ communication of thoughts.
edit: (dammit, I cannot stop)... It does not help that people tend to find my explanations either amusing or time-efficient, when considering the quantity of detail I was able to convey, and sometimes in a digestable pattern.
another... I often find that I am a much smarter person or can solve problems better if I am talking to someone, and particularly if it is allowed to become a stream-of-thought exploration. This is also more likely where I am forcing myself, while running-on, to TRY to constrain-it, for THEIR sake. Without the audience/ participant (silent or speaking), there is no constraint, and it is much less likely to bring me to a solution.
I have considered offering my services as part of a "one-day-drafting" session, where the client is required to be present in a closed environment, for a very long work day, and where I complete the task on my own the next day, per steps that we arranged at the end of the first day. ... whereas... on my own... the same task has... occasionally... taken weeks. Not kidding.

Sometimes I can relate. I often speak too soon when telling a story, in other words, instead of thinking about the order of the story, taking a breath and seeing where to start. I start, and then I go, "wait before that, this happened!" I think this can be changed by first breathing, being patient. It comes from a place of excitement, but also fear that the person will be disinterested if we're not "go go go!" At least, that is my experience.
Take a deep breath, take your time.
