Talking too fast

riemann

Any one else very aware they talk too fast?

What can one do to talk slower? I tend to talk quicker than I think, and often end up sounding rather foolish as a result.

I also have to repeat what I say regularly and it's especially annoying when I know its my fault.

Can speak fine when reading from a script, it's freestyle where the issue lies

It can be the result of low self esteem, subconciously you don't below you deserve people's time.

Make a concious effort to put pauses in your speech, slow down and be present, enjoy the sounds you make with your mouth.

If you think you are talking too quickly, then you are. Learn the Alexander method.

Just speak a foreign language you don't know very well. You're bound to slow right down.

I have this issue too. I have a slight stammer so i find if i talk quicker then its easier to get the words out.

We're not talking too fast, they're listening too slow.

I'm regularly accused of it, but want to get it out before I forget what I was going to say...

Maybe the people you are talking to could listen slower. Slower
listening to counteract faster talking.

I talk fast if I'm excited about something. The upside is I can understand other people that do it, within reason.

Just get a job as an auctioneer you'll be grand.

I don't talk fast but have a bad habit of completing other people's
