I am often bothered that I feel like I am rushing to speak everything I want to say and often feel like I garble some words as I rush to get everything out.
I dislike it - when given the chance, I actually do like the sound of my own voice! When given the chance it is satisfying to talk slowly, clearly and with nice tone and variations in pitch etc.
I am coming around to the realisation that I think this feeling of needing to rush is because I am surrounded by people who will readily interrupt me given the chance (both family and at work). Meetings over video are the worst - I've taken to willfully just carrying on talking if someone starts to try to interrupt just so I can say my peice.
I often wonder if this level of interruption and the feeling of needing to machine-gun out what I want to say as quickly as possible with the minimum of gaps or pauses is "normal" and everyone gets this, or am I just surrounded by pricks (both at work and at home) who don't care what I have to say?
