My friend told me I talk too fast?!
Question: My friend told me I talk too fast!?
I've been doing this all my life and now embarrassed to be told I'm too fast when i talk!. When I try to talk slower, I feel stupid or like a robot because I'm used to talking fast!.
How can I correct this (sometimes I forget and talk my usual speed)!. I do it because I can be very nervous around people!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Seems you've answered your own question!.!.!.your nervousness means you are more afraid of hearing what others are saying and need to occupy the sound space so you don't have to listen!.
If you seriously want to slow down, here is a plan!.
1!. When you talk, ask questions then wait for a reply!. This will force you to listen to others and what they feel!.
2!. Think about what you want to say!.!.!.before you say it!. Ask yourself three questions before you open your mouth:
a!. How will what I say be received by others!?
b!. Have I only included one idea in what I am about to say!?
c!. I have two ears, two eyes and one mouth!. Am I using them in the same proportion!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
