hurried
This term carries a strong connotation of pressure and haste, often implying that the speed of an action has compromised its quality or depth. While "quick" is generally neutral or positive, "hurried" frequently suggests a sense of anxiety, stress, or a lack of deliberation, as seen in a "hurried decision" or a "hurried apology."
In social contexts, describing an interaction as hurried can imply a lack of genuine interest or a desire to end the encounter quickly. It describes a state of being rushed by external constraints, such as a deadline or a ticking clock, rather than a natural preference for speed.
