Do people seem to talk very fast lately? I stop listening if I can't understand a word they're saying. I would try to get it but it happens so often now I don't even care. It's not just where I live either. People in other states speed talk too.
Is it me?

It's not just you.
It's almost like people are talking in text shorthand lol.

Lol! True. I've stopped asking them to repeat themselves because I don't care anymore. If they can't speak slower or clearer I guess they don't care if I hear them, so why should I care what they have to say?

It really ticks me off when weather and news reporters do that fast talk thing.
We have a local channel here and one of the guys talks so fast I change the channel when he's on. I've tried yelling at him to slow down but he acts as if he can't even hear me. Lol.

birdgal, Try listening to Cramer on Mad Money on CNBC. Everyone else will sound normal. He freely admits he has mental issues.

It's a good thing he admits he has a problem. That's the first step to recovery. The next step is to seek help. I hope he does that too.

birdgal, oh he is medicated. He has a sense of humor about it. And highly functional. But his thoughts come faster than his mouth.

I tend to talk fast at times. I remember taking some kind of presentation class that was given through work. After I was done the instructor mentioned that I talked very fast. But she also said she could understand every word I said.  |
