I know when I was younger I talked so fast it's a wonder that I could even keep up with myself. I don't know if it was from excitement or trying to be cool, but either way I've gotten out of that phase a long time ago. I know that I still can talk fast if I an in a hurry or if I am scared or upset, but most of the time I talk in my accent, deeper then ever. I am from the south, and trust me when I get mad or scared my accent shows so thickly that you'd wonder how it ever went away.
So when did you stop talking fast? Do you still talk fast? Can people understand you?

The only times I ever talk fast are when I am in a rush or nervous. Otherwise, it's never been much of an issue. But when I get really ANGRY my "Yankee" side comes out and people around me get nervous instead lmao.

Lol, I can imagine people getting a bit uneasy. Trust me people say that you can get stupid when your angry, I'm one of those.

Well I just couldn't resist responding to this discussion. Where do you think I got my name? LOL
I do talk way too fast and always have. People are always teasing me about it. And if I get excited or scared..well...Katy bar the door cause noone can understand me! LOL
Have a great day!

I have always had a bad habit of speaking fast,and I guess it is partly because I learned to always be in a hurry,and I also learned to eat fast,which my parents have never liked,and have always tried to get me to slow down and actually chew my food which is hard to do,I still talk fast sometimes but normally it is when I am excited or scared or in a hurry,or if I am reading,because I like reading really fast,and people most of the time have trouble understanding me,and I sometimes have trouble understanding myself,I love you.

I know about you talking fast when you are nervous as I have seen that for myself when I first met you. Now as for the reading fast I have also heard because I could hardly understand what you were saying when you read to me, or when you read little snippets of something. I appreciate the response baby and happy postings.
