Yeah, not really.

I'm quite persistent, but I actually never have to try, since my tongue
always knows what to do. 😎 Basically, rarely happens to me. x]

Well, there's always the option of finding a synonym. That's what I usually do, so that I don't look like I'm stuttering around for an answer. Lol. Although later, when I finally remember the word I wanted to use, I'm like: "...Damn it!"

I will find it.

I won't stop until I do.

Otherwise I'm left with that irritated feeling and it wont go until I figure it out.
Sometimes I remember at the most random times, but I always manage to find it.

One of the few things I'm not lazy about 🤣

There have been times when I've called people just to use them to help me figure out what word I want.

I try everything to remember. If I walk away not knowing it, it remains on my mind for ages.

Yes, it happens. I try to remember, but this usually happens in a conversation or speech context, so if it takes too long, I might skip it or try to find a word to replace it with.

Thanks to seeing this I just remembered the name of a river I was trying to remember for a couple weeks and tried harder to figure out what it was.

And I did! 😀

I once fished a vocab book out of the trashcan because I KNEW the word I was looking for was in this book. I'm the sort of person that will suddenly burst out, "OH! It was ..." three days after I couldn't remember the word because I've been thinking of it since then.
