Why does hearing yourself speak with a few seconds of delay, completely crash your brain?

I’m not an expert on this, but here’s what I’ve heard. When you speak, your brain is simultaneously listening and checking your speech for accuracy. Making adjustments and error corrections as necessary. This happens pretty fast, basically at the same time you’re speaking. (Sine your brain already knows what it’s going to say beforehand it sort of has a transcript of your words before you even speak.) This process is mostly automatic and unconscious. I can only assume that hearing your voice a second time or at a different time than your brain is expecting interferes with this error correction process. By the time you hear yourself, you’ve moved on to another word, and your brain is hearing the “wrong” thing. If any neurologists are here feel free to correct me. Lol
