Hi! My name is Genesis Melgar. As an extremely fast talker, I justify the inability of sometimes being misunderstood because I talk so fast. However, after reading a few articles, I realized I perform a lot of secondary behaviors- such as avoiding eye contact when speaking, having extreme anxiousness in public-speaking places, and having anticipatory struggles during a conversation. I’m extremely nervous to wait my turn to speak and have something to say. However, this only happens to me in places like church, school, work, and sometimes even with my significant other. Am I being paranoid or do you think I justify my stutter as talking fast?’ I feel like my mouth can’t keep up with my mind, and I sound very confusing sometimes. Please let me know what you think.
