Familiarity
I'm grateful to have family members and good friends who understand me so well that they can patiently wait for me to find words to express something that I wish to say. It makes it much easier to talk with them knowing that I can take the time that I need. I'm not so good at expressing myself verbally. I sometimes forget a word and it takes a little while to search for it from my mind. My friends and family know me well enough to not talk on top of me when I pause for something like that. I can appreciate it because when I'm talking with people who don't know me so well I get flustered and nervous when I forget a word that I'm looking for. A lot of people are bad at listening. They don't know how to wait.
I was talking with my mom today, which brought this on. I lost a word while in the middle of a sentence and she patiently waited for me to remember it without interrupting me. :) Maybe I should mention this to her. It's just that the significance of the gesture only became clear to me much later.
