I think what you are describing is fairly common, whether the person is a TBI survivor or not.
The real question would seem to be if word finding difficulty is interfering with your day to day functioning. If “no”, either don’t worry about it, or try some things to alleviate the stress you talked about. I’ve found meditation and yoga to be helpful stress relievers.
If this problem is impacting you day to day functioning, you may wish to consider seeing a speech therapist, they can deal with many aspects of communication deficits, not just verbal speech.

Thanks for the advice I appreciate it!! My headline was kind of misleading I should have thought of a better one lol I find the only time I have a hard time keeping a convo going is if I really don't want to talk to the person. I think you're right that stress is a the major contributor because all my docs have cleared me. Did you ever have any problems with dyslexia after your accident? I found I kinda did but if I didn't think about it I didn't have it but if I thought about it it came back I was diagnosed as a kid because I would read books back to front and write in a mirror image but never had a prob with reading. Thanks again for your advice
