I have been told that I am quite pedantic and I speak formally a lot of the time. I think there are 4 main reasons for this:
What do you think? Do you speak formally?
I am just interested in other people’s opinions and whether formality is important to you.
Yes, most of the time. My parents get crazy on me for it sometimes. I tend to say stuff in a way more complexed way than most people would, usually with a lot of extra information, like exceptions from what I'm talking about, to be sure no one makes assumptions before I've siad everything, but in combination with that I speak too fast when I'm stressed, which I often am when I have to explain something like that, usually means that they (and sometimes even me) don't understand what I'm talking about. 
I usually find it a lot harder to understand what people want if they "speak in slang", or with a too non-formal language. They also leave out too much information that I could find highly useful.
