This is not a new problem and unfortunately there is no cure. What you can do is first -learn to control your anxiety,the more nervous you are the more you will stammer don't think too much of the words you are trying to articulate -learn to let your words flow Ignore the fact that you stammer and just speak -you will be amazed at the flow of your words. Most importantly speak slowly and clearly. 2 Likes |

Hey man!! I am a stammerer from birth just like you. I also discovered that too; its usually becomes difficult to speak during the last three month of the year, its normal bro. Being a stammerer is not a curse bro, we are special. I am 23 years old but I have achieved a lot of things. Could you believe that I teach, Yes I do. When I was in secondary school, I organize extra lessons for the students and talk to 20+ people. Same, when I was in the university and I was also the class rep of my class(And I was awarded the best class rep of my faculty). My bro! I turn the stammering around to be my STRENGTH bro.. LET NOTHING STOP YOU BRO!!! 10 Likes |

Drock49:The reason it got worse this year is because you are thinking of it more than before. That is you care more conscious of it now. Worry increases a problem. Think less of it and live your life. Stammering isn't such a big deal. |

Even Moses that led the Israelites was a stammerer. I know of my 2 friends long ago that has same problem and they improved over time that no one notices it easily. Practice calming down when speaking, also try to practice singing and reading aloud with calm composure. Always eat cooked snails without salt or spice. Just take big snails on its shell, after washing u boil it directly on the pot. Then u allow to cool and eat it like that without anything added, then u keep using the shell to drink water as ur cup for like 2days and change another. Keep doing it as much as u can afford snails each day or some few days interval. It will help u over time like in 3 months. Even many who talk freely without stammering always talk rubbish. So it doesn't matter ur stuttering, just be composed and stay strong. Wish u the best! 1 Like |

Hey bruv, I got promoted to the position of a supervisor after series of one on one interview with top managers in my Coy. My immediate manager has never stopped giving me the opportunity to take my colleagues on our monthly learning sessions. And guess what? I stammers. I was not born as one but grew up knowing I did. What has been helping me is that I have never allowed it hold me back from expressing myself where ever & when ever. You will be just fine. Focus & overcome |

Try to make gestures with your hands while talking. Speak as though you are speaking in American or British English. You will notice a reduction in your stammering. I used to be a stammerer as a kid but it disappeared. Some time last year, it wanted to come back, so I tried those methods and it was flushed out of my system. Please text me on your observation. |

Drock49: Hmmm, bro, don’t let nothing weigh you down, I stutters really hard too and I know the struggles, Dont be scared, just let out your mind, if people notice you stutters, they won’t disturb much with talks and make sure to talk with people you’re comfortable with regularly, just say it.. it’s getting worse and depressing because you’re scared |

I've heard that this help but you still need to slow down when you're talking, you need to calm down don't even think about your stuttering. When you want to talk or reply to some you say it to yourself (not out loud) several times when you feel comfortable about saying it then you talk, again you need to calm down. Talk more!!! if you don't have anyone to talk to, stand in front of a mirror and talk to yourself. A speech therapist might also help. I wish you all the best. 3 Likes |

Herodutus: Same as me. I Stammer like an idiot a lot more when speaking my native language. But then reading this post made me realize Ive even forgotten I used to Stammer ![]() You see, people won't understand how depressing it is to be mocked EVERYTIME you air your opinion. Or... How hurtful it feels to lose a case when you get wronged or hurt by a sibling/friend at school and you report it to a guardian, or parent. The mere fact that the other person gained a fair judgement and you didn't, because you couldn't express yourself as fluent and fast as the other person is a feeling only a deaf & dumb person can relate to. Before I dish out my solution or what I did to end my constant stammering, I want u (mightyhazell) to know that looking at the initial cause of your speech defect is the first step. Mine started as early as 7 yrs after I began to imitate a chronic Stammer I met in church. I was fascinated by his way of talking to the extent that I began to copy him so much that it automatically became my new thing. Lol. It felt like music to my ears listening to a person repeat words over and over that I wanted to try it out and maybe even perfect it ![]() ... next thing you know, I'm talking like that from 7yrs till my mid 20s. It got a bit more controlled from my 20s though. I began to withdraw as a kid and keep to myself than face the ridiculous disaster of interacting with people (even family members) I began to enjoy my own company and whenever I reacted to ANYTHING violently, I put in all my pent up emotions into my act. I began to find a new way to release my unexpressible anger emotions (not through words now but in action). Which is why I'm usually called a SLOW-POISON as kid. Which also explains why stammers can be very violent when mad. I literally drink water whenever I feel enraged in other to cool me down and prevent me from doing something totally crazy! I remember once when I had a friend troll me all the way from class to the hostel after lectures during my undergrad years... and I was crying inside me literally holding myself from picking up a Rock & Smashing his skull in. I really worked on myself. And I'm impressed because it has gotten me this cool personality that stays calm with unruffled feathers even when a bomb drops! ![]() This is something people who have a fluent speech pattern don't and will always NEVER understand. My solution was to become my own self-therapist. Like, I'm in love with being left alone. I keep friends and socialize a lot but would prefer to be left alone at the end of the day. I talk slowly even when I'm boiling red with anger (which is extremely annoying & constricting) Imagine having to live your life never expressing your wrath because you're scared of what you'll do. In fact, the best advice I'll give mightyhazell is this: ALWAYS repeat your words in your mind several times before speaking them out. And also repeat those same words in your mind (again) after you've already spoken the words. You see... I practiced this so much because it works so effectively that my brother has told me severally that I always repeat words silently after I make a sentence. It sounded funny to me because I didn't even know I did it. I just thought about it consciously now because for the first time in my life I've been reminded by this post how badly I held things inside because of my speech defect then. But now it's totally gone! I can't even remember the last time I repeated a word when talking. So, patience is key here. Extreme patience. And slow repetition. Talk. Very. Slowly. And block off the fvcking insensitive friends and family who mock you about your defect. You'll come out fine, trust me... Love you, bro #noHomo ![]() 2 Likes |

MKO Abiola was a stamerer ,Rashidi Ladoja (former Oyo governor) stammers, K1 de ultimate also ..all these men are achievers and rule their various world's. So Relax ... although some above advises are useful but what u need most is self confidence! Be yourself forget about the thought of people about you. Be vocal anywhere you are ..Be bold! If u talk anyone that doesn't hear u clearly can ask u to repeat what u say,then u repeat it so he can get your point ..that's all. 1 Like |
