Each of us has a particular way of communicating. Fast talkers do not always manage to convey their messages effectively and, more importantly, they tend to generate in the sender a certain feeling of stress, confusion and greater difficulty in understanding what is being said. It is also a communication style from which several aspects can be deduced. We must take into account that speaking fast does not necessarily respond to a psychological disorder. Occasionally, we may be faced with a speech disorder such as tachylalia, which defines those people with an excessively fast speech, with a rush of words and pauses or repetitions that further complicate the rhythmic flow of speech.
In this sense, the cause that explains this type of communication responds in many cases to anxiety and stressors in close contexts, something that often happens during childhood. Therefore, if we know someone who regularly uses this type of speech, let us be a little more patient. On the other hand, if it is we ourselves who communicate in an accelerated manner, it is worth bearing in mind a series of facts and strategies. Some people think that fast talkers might have some virtue that sets them apart from others. Talking fast could mean, for example, that they "think just as fast", also that they could be great speakers by giving speeches with a large number of data and information.
But unfortunately, this is not entirely true. Speaking fast does not mean speaking fluently. Likewise, those who communicate in a fast-paced manner do not always give their audience time to digest all the information being conveyed. The origin of this exceptionally fast speech is multidimensional. In other words, there is no single cause; in fact, there are different factors that can explain why it happens (or why it happens to us). It is said that the extroverted personality presents this characteristic on certain occasions. It is a profile where one tends to think while talking, where impulsivity and those ideas that run over each other and are expressed almost unfiltered. In some cases, accelerated speech may be due to a speech disorder known as tachylalia. This is characterized by the omission of sounds and syllables when uttering words.
Also, tachylalia can occur at any age, however, it tends to be more common in children. The main cause of this condition is a mismatch between the brain and the ability of the speech organs to move. However, it may also be due to neurological and hereditary factors, where there is a mismatch between the nervous system's connections with the speech areas of the body. The most common element is sometimes the accelerated mind. On several occasions, leading a day to day life marked by haste, anxiety and pressure, makes us end up communicating in a nervous way. As it is often said, there are people who communicate as they live: in a stressful way.
In conclusion, we all want to communicate effectively. To speak effectively is to get our message across in an appropriate, approachable and even captivating way. Thus, those who do it quickly and hastily not only generate in others a certain anxiety or difficulty in understanding what is being said. Also, as a result of inertia, you may end up sharing thoughts that you would really like to keep private. We must always give priority to the listeners, when you are communicating with someone train your thinking to establish pauses. In those moments you should take the opportunity to take a breath, ask yourself if what you are saying is getting through to the sender. Repeat to yourself that communicating slowly is always better. That is, when you realize that you are speaking at 'a thousand per hour', simply pause and slow down.
Do you speak too fast or do you know someone who does?
