As far back as I can remember people have told me I'm much too slow. I prefer to take things at my own pace, that's all.

I use to be very slow. Other people would leave me behind because I wasn't walking fast enough for them. However, at some precise moment I made a concious decision to always walk fast. Now I run just about any time that I have to cover more than a couple hundred feet. I do it methodically enough to be very careful. It's very stimulating. It's especially nice during the winter, when I'd otherwise be cold.

As for everything else, most of the time I try tnot to rush.

I'm very, very fast with pretty much everything. Since my school is/was so big, I have to walk very fast to make it to my classes on time. And I'm also a naturally quick speaker. Everyone's always saying "Slow down!" even though I feel as if I'm talking at a normal pace. But when I hear someone speaking slowly, it drives me nuts!

Too fast. I move very quickly and think quickly too, until I'm in overload then my brain slows down to a crawl.

me too, but I seem to get ahead of my thoughts, so I speak quickly then stop/pause while I "download" the next things I want to say. A bit like loading youtube with a slow connection - lol

I'm a quickie. Nervous energy, fast metabolism, fast everything. I get upset when things don't move quickly enough, such as the digital tv guide tonight. It's not fast enough to keep up with my brain, meanwhile my family is asking me how I can read it that quickly. I talk pretty quickly too.
