Yes. This is me too. And I've seldom been bothered about it. I have many times been called slow, but never stupid, and that's fine with me.
I consider myself quite articulate, but I'm much more comfortable expressing myself in written than in spoken form, mainly because I need and I cherish the extra time that the former medium gives me, to more eloquently structure and refine what's being communicated.
Just because the accelerator pedal is there, doesn't mean you have to floor it all the time.
- hkmurakami 8y agoThe only time it bothered me or affected me was when taking management consulting case interviews, where I felt like I needed to be able to think way faster (or maybe I could have done more prep work so I’d pattern match rather than think). I jokingly tell people hat I’ll get them an answer in 2 hours. ;)
- solipsism 8y agoto more eloquently structure and refine what's being communicated To that end, you should avoid run-on sentences. Cramming all your thoughts together into one sentence (as you did in your second paragraph) really harms intelligibility. Also the comma in your last sentence, between "there" and "doesn't", is incredibly awkward and does not belong.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> To that end, you should avoid run-on sentences There are no run on sentences in the post you responded to with this. Particularly, the long sentence you call out is not a run-on, just a long sentence with complex structure; it has an unnecessary comma—the last one—but that is different than being a run-on.
