Why do people seem to speak too fast when they talk to me?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:It’s personality and temperament style. More extroverted types tend to think and talk fast and more introverted types often need more time to process and mull over what they wish to say. I am a highly extroverted and comedic personality with a super fast brain and I try to be aware of not overwhelming others because thinking and speaking and responding quickly comes very naturally to me. There is nothing good or bad or right or wrong about how ones brain and personality mesh, just need to pay attention and try to modify or ramp up accordingly. Quieter people can feel overwhelmed by some extroverts intense energy and extroverts can feel frustrated at quieter peoples slower response or lack of play and feedback. It sounds to me as if you;re self conscious of what you’re going to say and this may contribute to you stalling in your responses. Maybe work on not over thinking and just going with the flow. Do NOT label yourself with negative terminology like “slow” “incoherant” etc. You are who you are, and everyone has strengths and weaknesses. NEVER let others define you are are! Your style is your style and there are plenty of others that share your same presentation.
