I think faster than I can speak and I sometimes sound like an idiot

What are you a professor in?



being gay?



lol

i have phds in linguistics and rhetoric

 

[blaseblah]

You just gotta form sentences in your head before voicing them

 

[mixmastermo]

in all honesty, my brain power has developed far beyond the capabilities of uttered speech

but, as a professor, I also constantly get practice in speaking...this allows me to better re-harmonize the thought-to-speech process

practice makes perfect

Interesting

Yea I could use more practice

I wish it were that easy

Takes practice but it works.

So my brain moves super fast and when I try to communicate my thoughts with speech I sometimes stutter or skip some details.. or both..

So my brain moves like this

12345678901234567......

My speech comes out like

1...2...4..7.9123..4...6......

Any other sherbros have this problem?

All the time, to the point where I just don't even talk to people unless I know reliably that they can follow

I can be like this kid sometimes...

How can you do that during a conversation?

 

[forum poster]

Yes I had this problem because I have a deep voice. I've mainly self-corrected by consciously talking much slower. Not as slow as a Ted-talk, but realizing there's not a rush to hammer out my sentences as quick as I think. It's something I have to be mindful of.

OP are you really, really smart?

Richard Feynman used to say that people form really unique ways of looking at the world and aren’t speaking to each other in the same language at all, just crudely waving with sound

That makes a lot of sense. I think most of the speech we hear day to day isnt genuinely reflecting people's real thoughts and view of the world. Its a crude abstraction, a lot of times people just use stock phrases because its easier.

Thats one reason why reading is considered such a great tool for learning. It gives authors the time to really work through their thoughts and put them down. Even thats probably very far from whats really going on in their heads.

I think of it as refined thoughts. Like momentarily sharing a brain with someone who is dressed up and looks great.

Can’t understand your post.

Can’t understand your post.

Yep I get that a lot

 

[mooseman17]

Lol at this glass half full circle jerk. Speaking is a skill and it’s just something that you need to practice at. Trust me, nobody who is listening to you stumble around thinks you’re a genius, even if you are. Just take a deep breath and slow it down and you’ll be just fine. Even if you need to take a slight pause to gather your thoughts.

 

[plataoplombo]

Yeah especially a topic I'm really knowledgeable about. I'll be explaining something but my mind is like 5 steps ahead and it comes out all fucked up.

Just unlock your mutant telepathy powers already.

It's called auditory dyslexia. People with this issue are usually smarter than average, but they can come off stupid because of how they speak. They either have to speak really slowly and take lots of pauses, or they jumble their words.

I always thought George Bush was afflicted with this.

People love to joke about him being dumb, but he’s far more intelligent than anyone who jokes about him.

I also believe him to be the most accomplished person in history. And I legit dislike the guy.

He should have hired an eloquist.
