Yeah, I am way better at communicating by text than I am speaking in person, unless I am very excited or enthusiastic about something.
Having time to think about what you want to say and how you want to say it makes a big difference. Even a few seconds can make a difference, but most of the time, we can't afford to wait that long. If someone asked you a question in-person and you waited 5 seconds before responding, it would be awkward. So you have to be really quick.
It's kinda like bullet chess vs classical chess. When you're forced to act without having any time to think, you probably won't be as good.
But I've noticed that even the best speakers or the most social people still slip up when they speak, and it's not really that big of a deal. If you can get your message across, then that is usually good enough.
