Does anyone else feel that they talk too fast/slow?

[sooperhooper]

I just heard a recording of myself and I have the weirdest speech pattern when I get to a certain part of a sentence, i tend to jumble everything together. It's weird b/c in my mind I sound perfectly normal. I think it has something to do with anxiety, I sometimes feel like I'm being rushed to get the words out. If I get nervous, I just become a bumbling mess. Stuttering /stammering etc. When I attempt to monitor my speech, however, I feel as if it sounds mad weird/too proper or mad slow, like Forrest Gump.

The only time my speech feels like its at a normal pace is when I've been drinking.

Any tips?

I sometimes speak too fast.

It comes from selling stuff all day long.

Now I find myself doing it when I'm speaking casually to people.

I feel like my voice is way to low sometimes 

 and I stutter sometimes.... which I recently noticed just a few years ago. Not sure whats up with that.

 nobody has said anything about it tho

 

[RIP sleazyy]

I mumble. Meh.

I stutter sometimes and talk too fast. Mainly only happens when I don't give myself a filter. I'm pretty much just talking out my butt.

If I'm thinking about what to say, I guess I'm pretty normal.

Lol depends on what I'm talking about... If im excited, i talk so fast that I tend to even mess up what I'm sayin. I try to catch myself tho.

I used to think I had a stuttering problem, but later on I realized that I talked fast. When speaking slower I don't have a stuttering problem at all, but when I start speaking fast it comes back again. I don't think it's bad at all to talk fast, but I also know that there are times I should be talking slower.

 

[jrp44]

I talk fast as hell most of the time

 

[bigsupa]

I MUMBLE WHEN IM TRYING TO MAKE A POINT, I HAVE TAKEN SOME SPEECH THERAPY THAT IS HELPING.

I WAS LIVING WITH IT AND DIDNT CARE BUT THEN I KEPT ON GETTING COMPLAINTS FROM COACHES WHEN I WOULD TRY AN EXPLAIN A CALL SO I HAVE DECIDED TO CORRECT MYSELF...


AND IT IS HARD AF!

i sometimes talk too fast, but i've slowed down a lot from let's say a couple of years ago. i'm a new yorker though so i'll never talk slow.

 

[jking0821]

I get told i talk too fast all the time. But i have like everything in my head and i have to get it out before i forget all the details.

When i drink it gets worse because i don't even think about it. No mental note saying "slow down".

 

[lana285]
