Sometimes it's useful to look at your dialogue and ask yourself, "would a real human being talk like that?" But it's also good to ask the follow-up questions of "would the way a real human being talks sound good here" and "does this character actually talk like a real human being or are they weird about it."
sometimes when i ask this question the answer is "unfortunately this is the way I speak, and whether that's comfortable or relatable to anyone else is beyond the point" so i guess the third one
