Is writing or speaking easier for you?

I have a much easier time writing than speaking. I have lots of trouble speaking like finding words and losing my train of thought in the middle of sentences. I can't explain it because I was better before being a teen.
 
I don't have trouble with either of those. Advanced mathematics is where I struggle.
 
Writing for sure because I have to think through my thoughts and I can read what I write and make edits as necessary. It does take a lot of focus and energy though. Meanwhile, my speaking ability can vary depending on how tired or stressed I am along with my mood. I tend to lose the ability to speak in clear thoughts when my mind is distracted by other thoughts or sensory inputs. Also, speaking and conversations usually move too fast for me...I can't always keep up when we jump from topic to topic rapidly.

I can have trouble saying much when in a bit of a shutdown mode. (This is mostly happens in response to another person screaming, throwing things, ECT). I doubt if writing would be any easier than speaking when in that mode because it's basically a freeze response.
