I am not saying this vid is good or bad but I talk just like that. My friends say its talking in circles and that I explain things too much like I think they are stupid or something sometimes. I was like wow she talks just like me! So I had to share!

She sounds okay to me, not really talking in circles. I knew somebody who really talked in circles. It was actually annoying. He'd say the same thing over and over in different ways to make sure you got his point. This girl didn't seem to do that. Either that or I'm just so used to it I'm immune to those symptoms.

When I'm trying to explain something, I talk just like this too! Thanks for sharing the video, because not only is it a good example of how we both talk, but the video itself is actually good. I should go to it and click the like button on that video.

It is probably not talking in circles but I do that and this is what my friends refer to as talking in circles because I give them too much detail or unnecessary information I suppose.

She seems to have a similar cadence to me at times, with her speech speeding up and slowing down.

I leave out too much information because I think the person just knows and then they end up making some weird assumption so its like you almost have to be a person who talks in circles. I like it when they just ask for more clarification or info. I can talk about a certain topic extensively , but socially I am often interpreted as being "vague".

Yeah, in my opinion she is also talking A LOT in circles.

Wow... that girl talks the exact same way I do, with the need to explain stuff and being blank. Awesome! To know that another person's voice speeds up and slows down like mine. This video has made my day better.

"How do I say it..."

Boy, do I use that phrase a lot when I try to explain something. I use lots of pauses and starts-and-stops, too.
