This kind of thing has probably been done to dead on the forum already (and in the "You know you are INFP when" thread...) but yeah, don't feel like looking it up so there. :bored:
So basically, how do you guys talk? Do you have any of those little idiosyncrasies in your speech that people keep commenting on, to the point of you wanting to strangle them? Do you speak with a lisp? A veird accshent, perhapsh? Do you speak reeaaallyyyy friigggiiin slooooowlyyy orlikereallyfastomgwtf. Do you mangle your grammar or speaketh like a character from ye olde Shakespeare playe? Let the rest of the INFP forum in on the fun, please. It would be fun to see if there are certain patterns in how INFPs speak, and differences with other types.

As for me, I've noticed I tend to not finish my sentences. Loads of times I just trail off while in the middle of saying something. Half of it is me not finding the appropiate or exact words to portray my thoughts, but in a way I expect people to get what I'm saying without actually saying it. For example: "Yeah I listened to the album you sent me, but..." Then I'll (subconsciously) expect the other person to infer that I didn't like it very much, from the tone of my voice and my expression.
I also do it when my reasons for doing something are hard to explain (mostly when it's of an irrational nature), or when I feel they're not relevant enough to be explained anyway. For example: "Yeah I guess I could've taken the shorter route to your house, but..."
It's kinda frustrating when someone asks you to elaborate, especially when the "open-endedness" of the sentence was intended. But I guess it must be frustrating for some people to have conversations with someone who speaks only in half sentences and finds it perfectly normal.
Ah, and I also tend to talk really slowly, unless I'm excited about something.
