"Talking fast has gotten you nowhere" this part is harsh, but the truth Although there are times when I can speak fast and be fluent, rarely, but it does happen, and when it does I'm perceived as quite charismatic I think for myself I just have to weigh up whether I give up being seen as mainly awkward with bouts of charismatic episodes (speaking quickly) or just a chill guy all the time who isn't particularly awkward/charismatic (speaking slowly)
