Do you ever catch yourself stuttering when you speak?

[DizzyDesii]

I had this friend who stuttered and it somehow became contagious and i started to do it too. It lasted about a good year. I was younger but now like 15 years later I find myself randomly stuttering at least once a week. Maybe i just talk too fast sometimes. But dont let the stutter get ya down. The scatman is in town!

[InferiorElegy]

I have a fluency disorder so I stutter and clutter my words when I talk, sometimes when I talk I can say paragraphs without either a stutter or cluttering but it's not often and I have to take my time but when I try to say what's on my mind I tend to speak a little bit faster.

Just for those who don't know.

Stuttering is when you repeat a whole word or part of a word multiple times or pausing awkwardly.

Cluttering is adding filler noises like "um" of "uh", speaking fast and mashing words together.

[DizzyDesii]

I think a lot clutter than

My grand parents were witnesses to the Depression and WW2.
Their music was 30's to 30's Swing. Sinatra (who I can sing karaoke), Count Basie. Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and (!) Mel Torme, who was Jewish/white. Louis invented Scat Singing and Ella and Torme Became expert at it. I listened to a lot of my Dad's 78 varnish records and learned Scat when I was less than 10. Mel Torme, mostly. It wasn't stuttering. It was composed on the spot.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol no i only posted that song because Scatman said he made that song to uplift those who stuttered like him

[dustybiker]

We can pick it up, just like any other behavior we are exposed to for a length of time. Being overwhelmed. Stress, emotion, work. All those things can bring it out of anyone temporarily too. A lot of people who are really attracted to someone can stutter/foot-in-mouth standing before them.

[DizzyDesii]

Ahhh makes sense

[Blackcupcake]

I am a really bad liar... so if I don't get time to practice my lie, I end up stuttering, and also avoiding eye contact cause that would make me smile and everyone who knows me knows that when the smile shows up, it's a lie lol.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao so Joe’s song i posted above was made just for you haha

[Blackcupcake]

lmfao... 🤣

[Oigit]

It can be real easy to think ahead when we are speaking. Thinking is fastest thing we can do. If we where able to run as fast as we can think it would kill us. Simply because our body isn't built for moving as fast as we can think. Stuttering can very much be you thinking several sentences ahead of the one you are speaking at the moment.

[DizzyDesii]

Its hust me tryna rush clients off the phone 🤣

[ShadezMcgee]

I don't stutter, but I do talk fast. I have a friend that stutters and I don't see him any differently, just takes him some time to finish what he needs to say and sometimes he has good days where it is minimal and bad days where it takes him over ten seconds to say a single word.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea mine isn't that bad. But i have to take a lot of calls for work and i speak fast to kinda rush the caller off the phone lol. So sometimes i’ll trip over my words

[Passion_Devil]

I DO CATCH MYSELF DOING THAT! It happens when I'm overly excited.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol maybe thats my reason too. I can be really energetic haha

[Passion_Devil]

Yes! I have been restless the last two days. And I'm meeting with the family later today, I hope it doesn't come up too much

[DizzyDesii]

Take exitseven and hispaniccoolguys tips above :)

[exitseven]

No, I can speak pretty clearly. I am a teacher and get lots of practice.

[DizzyDesii]

Well thats good. Like i said it just happens like once a week for me. But like someone else mentioned, i am overexcited when it occurs

[exitseven]

Deep breath. Feel your heartbeat get slower. Now speak.

[DizzyDesii]

Lol thank you. I have to take a lot of calls for my job so sometimes i try to rush the caller by speaking to then fast and thats when i catch myself stuttering once ina while. But i’ll take your tip into account

[exitseven]

practice it and soon it will be second nature.

[Passion_Devil]

This actually works, slowing down your breathing calms me down. But I love feeling restless 😂
But on a more serious note. Thank you for this advice. If this place is full of resourceful and helpful people such as yourself, I am here to stay

[exitseven]

@Passion_Devil It is like anything else. Caveat Emptor- let the buyer beware. But there are a lot of knowledgeable folks here. Welcome by the way

[Passion_Devil]

Thank you very much. I am going to look into Wim Hof's techniques

[exitseven]

@Passion_Devil I just googled it. It looks interesting.

[Uptowngirl88]

😂😂😂🤣🤣 why u gotta put Joe in this lmfao.. damn that song brings back memories. Only if I'm in a rush

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao joe used to trip me out 🤣 When that song was out, if u even got caught stuttering, you were automatically deemed a liar even if you showed us proof haha

[Uptowngirl88]

🤣🤣

[DizzyDesii]

Do you know the other song j posted above? Its from one of the funniest scenes in a Martin Lawrence movie

[Uptowngirl88]

I don't know what that other song is. I just thought you were being your crazy self 🤣

[douride2]

Yes it does happen from time to time. Mostly when I am excited.

[DizzyDesii]

Yes when we get excited, we start speaking a mile a minute haha

[Riddler1412]

Rarely, like 2-3 times a year. But, it's usually because I get lost in my thoughts. 😅

[DizzyDesii]

Ahh that actually makes sense because you dont always realize you're talking allowed yet your brain is doing all the calculating in that moment

[Riddler1412]

Pretty much. And then, when I realize, I stutter. 😂

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Believe it or not I had a huge problem with stuttering growing up, like extremely bad. Lol 😳

[DizzyDesii]

How did you get over it? Did you have a speech pathologist? At age 7 they made me go to one for my lisp. So now its not bad unless i say like an L or S word. But if i mumble the word, you can't hear it lol

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Prayed about it and asked for healing from God. No girl would ever desire to be with me if I sounded like a total idiot that can't put a sentence together clearly.

Secondly, I faced my fears. I would go though the drive through at Macdonald's and speak which gave me confidence.

Thirdly, I learn to speak when needed and what's needed to say. I use to talk and think a lot of 💩💩💩 that probably contributed to my stuttering.

[DizzyDesii]

Wow this is a really helpful technique for others to read

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Hope so. Stuttering is the devil. Its horrible. It's cute for kids but not grown ups.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea my problem is i try to talk fast to get these clients off the line and i start to stumble over my words. On a slow day, i’ll slow down lol.

[Passion_Devil]

Did you say 'Devil'? 🙃

But I was told to check you out, I've received similar advice earlier this week. I was told to just... go for it. And that is what I will do. The more we do, the more natural it will be for us to do it again.

[Uptowngirl88]

I used to have this problem as a kid too but then again I lied a lot then 😂. Now I'll do it if I'm in a rush other than that I don't

[DizzyDesii]

@Uptowngirl88 lol so you really were doing what Joe said 🤣

[Deku2009]

Yeah that’s what happens when I get really nervous on top of something weighing on my mind

[DizzyDesii]

Ooo i forgot that it could be caused by a nervous moment too

[Deku2009]

Yeah even with the few words I will say will be stuttering

[Lostveryloost]

Sometimes specially when drinking 84 ounces of malted liquor the day before

[DizzyDesii]

Well thats expected lmao

[Lostveryloost]

True🙂🙂😊😂🤣😂🤣 I'm recovering right now getting ready for another round today

[Lostveryloost]

But I'm not an alcoholic it's for my mental illnesses ok I'm a great boy🙂😔😔🙏

[DizzyDesii]

Yea just pray. I’ll pray for you too :)

[Lostveryloost]

I do every day😔🙏 and awww😍🥰 that's soo nice of you🙂🙂 thanks soo much sweetheart

[StephanX]

Yeah, it happens to me some time to time. It happens to me because i wanna say to much at once

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i think i speak too fast sometimes

[TommyMountainFigure]

No, my cousin use to stammer badly when he was a kid. He just grew out of it as his confidence grew. Nobody around him stuttered.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea this is the first year I've done it in a long time. The other year being like 15 years ago

[ohshee]

There's sometimes when I'm texting somebody I catch myself stuttering as I'm texting it texting it text Annette but anyway

[DizzyDesii]

Dang i see

[ohshee]

Lmao you do not lol

[JosyJosy]

Yes, I don't know why, but I caught myself a while after working next to a new colleague who stuttered. A coincidence

[DizzyDesii]

Yes thats how it started for me when i used to babysit this kid. But then it stopped after that year and just started back this year

[Cherry234]

Sometimes I stutter but I don't usually stutter when I talk. Like if I'm nervous I'll stutter

[DizzyDesii]

Yea for me its if im already talkin to fast

[sarahlumpkin]

It is a complex issue. I am of the theory that it is primarily genetic but seconcondarily environmental.

[DizzyDesii]

I think environmental for me cause thismy second year doing it, the first being like 15 years ago

[sarahlumpkin]

Yes, I don't stutter but may have misread the question and given my opinion on stuttering.

[mooky06]

Sometimes lol my brain works faster then my mouth and it just comes out like tucjfzuvfavitv lol

[DizzyDesii]

Hahaha same

[loves2learn]

Very rarely if I am on the spot maybe.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea cause the nerves kick in

[libertyxo]

Only if I’m super tired! 😂

[DizzyDesii]

Lol so like a mumble jumble haha

[Anonymous]

N-n-n-n-n-n-no, I can't say that I d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d... am this way. I sometimes swear though. Does that mean I have Taurette's?

[DizzyDesii]

Dang I don't know

[Anpu23]

Occasionally, yes I do.

[DizzyDesii]

Is it usually when you're nervous?

[Anpu23]

Mostly when I am in a hurry. Not. As much when I am nervous. I have too many years of theater for that.

[DizzyDesii]

Yep thats when mine is. I keep trying to rush people away so i talk fast to them haha

[bolverk]

I stutter when I talk too quickly I've learned to slow down and speak clearly.

[DizzyDesii]

Yep thats prob why I've started

[Aakash_Hangargi]

I ha ha have never Stu stu stu stutured in my life once

[DizzyDesii]

Omg i feel like im gonna stutter just from reading that

[MysticDevice]

All. The freakin. Time. Lol

[DizzyDesii]

Lol well just think about rolling your R’s instead haha

[Wiredone]

No I can't say that I ever studdered. I speak slow and clearly.

[DizzyDesii]

I speak fast and clearly for the most part. But this is the first year I've stuttered in a long time. Thhe other being like 15 years ago when i used to hang with this kid

[Tunasub]

No. but that reminds me. Did you hear about the man on death row that stuttered?

[DizzyDesii]

Suge Knight the only death row dude i know

[Tunasub]

No. Not that death row..🤦🏾‍♂️

Anyway he died before he finished his sentence... 🤪

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao i know what u meant haha. And suge is not dead. Stop playin

[Tunasub]

I know Suge ain't dead I wasn't talking about Suge.. ugh see that just totally mess my joke up... lol. you alright with me @DizzyDesii 💯

[Tunasub]

Wait Suge is dead I think.

[DizzyDesii]

I got what the joke was. You meant because i interrupted your sentence

[Tunasub]

Yes.. lol it threw me off... 🤣

[DizzyDesii]

Im not always slow haha but i have my moments

[Tunasub]

We all do. I ain't mad at ya.👍🏾😁

[Hanrej]

No... Like not at all

[DizzyDesii]

Well lucky you lol

[krin_m]

Once in a while, not always,

[DizzyDesii]

Yea same

[Phoenix98]

Occasionally.

[DizzyDesii]

Is it when you're overexcited or overthinking?

[Phoenix98]

Nope just a slip a the tongue.

[Mehzmeh]

Some times.

[DizzyDesii]

Is it when you're nervous, excited or overthinking?

[Mehzmeh]

All the above. Lol

[Mehzmeh]

Believe it or not. I am a naturally shy person. Lol

[DizzyDesii]

That actually surprises me

[Mehzmeh]

Lol. It surprises a lot of people. Because they don't see it. But because my anxiety and me not letting people see that comes out. And I end up making people laugh. Or doing something to break the tension. Lol

[DizzyDesii]

I wouldve thought the military broke the shyness

[Mehzmeh]

No it just showed me how to cover it up. And get over the fear. Lol

[DizzyDesii]

Damn that actually makes sense

[MadBoy]

If my brain works faster than my mouth does, yes.

[DizzyDesii]

Yep same

[Mark987]

Only when I am hungover lol

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao

[Shark_61695]

Nah, I generally don't bother speaking :)

[EaterPeter]

Scattman was one of my favorite song.

[DizzyDesii]

Love it!!

[EaterPeter]

[EaterPeter]

[Opinion Owner]

I get nervous speaking. Probably years of stress at home and bullying

[JesseJayNeak]

Quite often actually

[DizzyDesii]

What do u think causes it

[JesseJayNeak]

That's when I told stories about how I felt about my ex (the last one)
