SimplePlan34: I was once a heavy stutterer, like, i use to struggle to spurt out just one word. What helped me was working on my self confidence cause i discovered it is more intense when i want to talk to someone i perceive as superior or better than me. But when i regained confidence, my speech improved. Another trick that helped me was being relaxed no matter the situation. Sometimes we are in a haste to let the words out. By relaxing and breathing normal, without pressure, you will speak flawlessly. Another tip is synonyms. There are words which might be hard to let out, instead of embarrassing myself, i go with another word immediately. Trying to demonstrate using your hands works awesomely well too. Try a lot of things. Have you ever wondered why you don't stammer when talking to yourself? Or singing? Or even talking to a kid? It is more of psychological i think and having known that, you will overcome. Today, you will never know I'm a stammerer. Although i do stammer like once, in every 100th word. If you need someone to talk to, you can DM. Peace brother! 66 Likes 5 Shares |
