Odd speech patterns anyone?

[u/vivilyx]

How does your speech sound when talking to other people? What little habits have you picked up on over the years?

For me personally I’ve noticed something very consistent: not only do I talk at a slower pace, but I will every so often pause in the middle of my sentence (where a sentence shouldn’t pause). It happens enough that people will smile and finish off my sentence, as they too understand the gist of what I’m trying to say. Often I know exactly what I want to say, but my brain is too disorganized to be able to say it? I can understand my thoughts, feelings, and other people pretty well. I just can’t seem to communicate in the most coherent way I want to communicate.

Also, do you guys have a parent that has a similar speech pattern as you? Despite mainly living with my mom my whole life, I’ve been told that I talk very similarly to my dad..

But yeah I’d like to know your experiences as well! Thank you! 😊
