I find some people talk so fast. Especially when they work in industries like sales, sometimes those that speak another language, hyperactive tendencies...

I find it so difficult to converse with a person like that as I'm rather steady.
They can often think and say a word they think, I'm going to say to get to the end of my sentence faster.

Rude!

I find I try to be considerate of slower talkers as they may be struggling or a little shy.

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.
