Do You Stutter?

Do you stutter and why do you think you stutter? Is it because you are a shy person? or are you a nervous person? or is it something else? What do you find as the most helpful for you? trying to rap? reading poetry slowly?

I stutter from time to time, but it's not like a major speech impediment. I usually only stutter if I'm excited or when I get angry. The best way to avoid stuttering is to just calm down and talk slowly.

it depends on the situation. i work extra now in a healthshop and so, my job is mostly about talking to people about the products we have. aside from the fact that i had only been here in sweden in barely a year, i stutter because i just get nervous especially during my first few days at work. but later on, i was able to build self confidence and self trust. whenever i stutter, i try to take a pause for a few seconds and concentrate more. it helps a lot to me. anne
