HAET SMIELY made me chuckle.
I'm the same with verbalizing my thoughts. I emit constant "uuhs" and my eyes dart around the place like two chipmunks high on caffeine. I have to resort to very active body language not to bore them, and even then, most people get bored halfway through my train of thought out of disinterest.
It's kind of a bummer, as I've been complimented on my voice several times, even offered the premise of a job at the local radio. But I cannot, for the life of me, pull professional radioman (I made that term up there) and speak without pauses. Perhaps my long neck and compact mouth make it even more difficult.
"Pleasant and quiet" and its male counterpart, "mysterious and quiet" have its own problems; when I do have a longer, coherent thought to share, everyone assumes I'm being a smartass
