Keeping Up with my Thoughts

I don't think it's a sign of mental illness or anything like that.

I have an aunt that speaks too fast and it's almost impossible to understand her. Almost always I have to ask her to repeat herself, sometimes two or three times. I love my aunt, but I don't particularly enjoy having conversation with her because of this problem. It is my opinion that people get tired of having to continually ask a fast talker to repeat themselves and will end up not caring what the fast talker has to say, no matter how interesting that person is. Maybe instead of blurting your ideas out, you should write them down. If writing takes too much time, use a tape recorder.

of course it is not mental illness,sometimes i feel impatient,i'll speak fast,sometimes i feel excited,i'll speak fast,sometimes i argue with someone,i'll speak fast.but it always would be a good way that thinking quickly and speaking slowly.

I wouldn't worry. This is actually a hallmark of intelligence. People with high IQ's think faster, and talk faster. If you're ever in a room full of people with high IQ's talking, you would not believe how fast the conversation flies back and forth and switches topics.

well, that is your fast thinking not a illness dear. i think you fast and very active woman. ha ha. just do it mate.but just small thing: talk slow as you can.

Hello toniganzon, Thinking fast is not an illness but talking fast is. hehe. They told you to slow down for them to understand what you have utter. Not all we think need to be blurted. You seems racing with your own mind. Have fun in thinking what you think.

lol! I don't think it is a sign of mental illness, quite the contrary actually! You are probably like a genius and need to give your thoughts somewhere to go. Like start writing or studying something new! I talk (and think) fast also and it has gotten me into lots of trouble over the years!

no its not a mental illness^^ sometimes when im angry i also talk a lot and have to spell all out :) also when we are happy we tend to talk fast to share our happiness^^ me i always talk so much ahah that my sisters joking sometimes tell me someone give me something to put in catarina's mouth ahah^^ so dont worry talk much is normal and talk fast also. it makes part of your personality^^

No I don't think so. Observe youself and try to control speak fast then slowly you can remember what your previous thought you have.... I think you more practice as mental exercise.... thanks see you around...

Thoughts are fleeting, because most of them are so far from profound. I have to write my thoughts down all the time, but when I go back and look at them, I think, "What was I thinking?"
