Recently I started to notice this kind of third-person perception of situations where I explain things that I understand well enough. The perception is more vivid when the topic is unusual, things I might’ve thought about a lot but only rarely discussed in similar contexts. I’m guessing explanation of a familiar topic can run mostly on System 1, freeing System 2 to observe the performance, and unfamiliar circumstances make the performance more interesting, hence perception of it more vivid.
