Would constant sentences like this, be annoying to RP with?

So kinda cheating but heyyy video games.Â
tbh this would be annoying af
I feel as if the best approach to this, is to deliberately write only what the other people in the scene would notice.
The reason being that as a Qestir, your biggest hurdle and point of interest is your character's clear inexperience with communicating.
If you telegraph or color your character's intentions/thoughts too clearly... You'd make their intentions/thoughts too clear.
This is garbage, if you're trying to RP a character that refuses to speak, because:
- The reason you pick that trait is for the challenge/difficulty it brings to your character
- You want people to have difficulty understanding her
- You want your character to evolve and try new things based on these challenges
Therefore, you want to maintain a level of vagueness to try and encourage 'huh?!' moments.
However, don't do the suggested, hyper-detailed facial emotions.
People will just get annoyed.
There's a fine line you have to find and walk.
