I can gabble on now, but I couldn't when I was a kid, so I spent a lot of time in my own head on the moors by myself. It felt like writing was the right way to express myself.

Taught by actor parents never to leave an awkward gap in the conversation I gabble out unsolicited responses to fill the voids.

Gabble indicates a speaker is overwhelmed by emotions which makes their speech rushed and unclear.

Emotional Overload

Gabble is used in casual situations and would not be appropriate in formal writing or speech.

Informality

Using 'gabble' can imply the speaker thinks the fast talk is annoying or hard to understand.
