When it comes to details, the thing that count is whether the details help the person you are talking with to form a picture of the situation that you are describing in their mind.
If you are talking in “I” using colorful language that describes the qualia you perceive is nearly always good. That doesn’t mean that sentences should be long. If you can transform one sentence into two, that’s often good.
If you are talking in “you” it better to be a bit more vague. If you tell someone: “When you go to work on Monday morning at 7 o’clock and drive though rush hour, you know the feeling where you wish, you could just take a day off?”, the might be irritated if they aren’t in the habit of going to work at 7 o’clock or don’t drive.
I”m okay with non-gendered language. In text it’s nearly impossible to see what the words mean for you.
If your teenage self trained a bunch of separate word choices I would look carefully at them and judge whether they are real self-expression or whether they are more of a mask that’s supposed to provide shelter.
Authentic self-expression draws attention, wearing a mask reduces it.
