>My brain requires time to focus inward to formulate complex thoughts, and interrupting any time I pause narrating doesn't give me that time to think.

So basically what you are saying is that you are some kind of snowflake that requires it's own room to concentrate and be productive and you can't even think while doodling on a whiteboard.

In my books that counts against you, that doesn't mean you are straight out, but it definitely makes you a liability to some degree.
