Someone I know speaks in a reverse tree of sorts which actually does resemble a "weave", they start with various statements about the topic at hand without ever mentioning the topic, and eventually arrive at stating the topic near the end (hopefully). Sometimes I have no idea what they are talking about because they forgot to mention it until the very end when they have merged all their branches.

I talk like this and not sure why. I thought about it a lot over the years and figured that I for some reason need to have a, well, reason to tell a story. And so I tell it not as just a context free snapshot, but a bit more detail to it. And sometimes that resonates with people well, especially when it's something funny, but a lot of times it's too much to ask, especially these days when everyone has a short attention span. Which is fair, I'm the one doing the talking, listening is definitely more challenging.
