Are you a fast, steady or slow talker? I find some people talk so fast. Especially when they...

It can change dramatically. When I'm excited/anxious I can talk so fast I nearly stutter, I hurl words out because I just want talking to be over or I'm just overly excited and overwhelmed by emotions. When I am unused to talk, depressed or just slowed down in general, I talk slowly, monotonously and often trail away mid-sentence or can't even find the expression for something I want to name. There are times when I nearly wish I were mute because I don't want to talk at all so badly.

I am doing some amateur research into the middle ages . Evidence suggests that people spoke much slower then. So when we read of a sermon lasting two hours, a modern day priest could crack it off in 20 minutes .

I'm an extremely slow talker. I get on peoples' nerves because I talk so slowly. I think before I speak, that's why. I almost never say "Errmmm..." or "Hmmmmmm". 😏

i use telepathy mainly .. to screw up people's brain neurons ..
They suddenly think i'm talking very fast when i'm just smiling, slowly messing up their brain juice

When I am nervous or anxious I talk really fast.

Im a really quick talker lol. But i do tend to slow down coz of my accent. I consider who im talking to and then adapt that way.

I think probably steady, though I don't talk that much at all 😆

I talk fast due to anxiety and I try my best to slow down.

In German, I speak fast. But when I speak English it's a little slower because I'm careful.

Depends on the conversation and how much coffee I've had.

It is even worse if they happen to be doctors or lawyers

Mostly a fast rhythmic , it’s a cultural thing 😀

Medium to slow with lots of pause.

I work 3 jobs I'm super high stress and I am a very fast thinker and a very fast talker which comes from my OCD tendencies and my work ethic of just getting everything done, said,fixed addressed immediately.
I am capable of speaking very slowly in my more contemplative moments and I do try to be considerate of those who speak slowly
