I’ve been told recently, by a few people, that I get sort of verbose when I talk. I run on, I can’t convey stuff concisely, and that I can even get pretty boring. I actually was never aware of that until recently, and I still don’t completely believe it, but there you go.
It’s especially interesting, because I tend to be extremely concise when I write. My essays tend to be shorter than most people’s. I can’t blog for paragraphs upon paragraphs. Ironically, I start to lose interest in whatever I’m saying if I go on for too long.
But yeah, has anyone else noticed that about me? Is that something I should be working to fix? I think I’ll be more aware of it in the future, but right now, like I said, I don’t know exactly what my problem is, if any. It’s been suggested by my mom that I try to join Toastmasters International and see if that helps.
Huh, well there you go.
You’ve never seemed to talk much at all when I’ve seen you, buts thats only like 3 times.
holy shit dude so it was like an intervention?
blah de blah de blah there goes mister boring again!
I have always thought this. I’m sorry I’m posting anonymously, but uh, well, yeah.
You seem to speak about inane subjects, or comment on how something is funny that… isn’t funny. I often wonder what you’re actually trying to say.
It’s not a comment on your character, just your method of speech.
See this sort of thing isn’t helpful. It’s a repeat of what I already said in my post. The reason I asked if people agree is so I can base their claims on how I know them, and what I might have said, and what I might have talked about.
I have a feeling this might be related to the SSU, though, because that’s one place where I heard this sort of remark.
I always thought you were pretty concise in speech. Or, not necessarily concise per se, but certainly not unwarrantedly verbose.
So, uh, no, I’ve never noticed that.
