Just figured out that the reason I often struggle to trust the input of drs and others who rely on clear communication from me isn’t because I think they’re unreliable, it’s because I think my communication is unreliable and so they’re working w/ bad info

A great example is how my whole life, unlike most people, I preferred dentist visits over doctor visits. With a doctor, majority of the time you have to clearly communicate what’s going on and what you’re feeling which I HEAVILY struggled to do. Dentists on the other hand look at your teeth and that’s all they need to see to know how they’re doing. Input from the patient is important, but a dentist can find way more info just by looking at the teeth than a doctor can by just looking at the body
