I speak quickly most of the time, though I don't *think* I talk super fast. I pretty much speak the way that I write, though. As for the slower speakers, mostly I don't mind at all, but I do have to stop myself from jumping in on the ends of their sentences (just because I don't want to be rude!!). I'm so self-conscious about how much I talk that generally, I'm too worried about being rude to those that are not as quick to speak/extroverted/etc to be annoyed that they aren't communicating as fast as I do. Unless it's something ridiculous, of course. You know, like in the cartoons! Oh, and old and/or sick people take a long time sometimes, but that's not their fault, and you can't finish their sentences, so you just have to sit back and wait it out.
