If my own blood brother could said that to me then what will a stranger call me? I was struggling to speak out so he said why can't i stop this nonsense, he called me slowpoke, i have tired everything within my power to stop it buh i can't, i think he was influenced by others to call me that, they are angry because i stopped talking to them because they make fun of me, call me all sort of names, i couldn't bear it any longer so i stopped going close to them, now my brother at home have joined them, i have tired every therapy, buh i just can't stop it, eveything within my power, if someone want to make fun of me he will ask me a question, if i try replying to him he or she will either laugh or make a mockery of me, my father is okay with me buh my mother and my brother (recently) always complain, people call me mumu, mugu all sort of name, it hurts alot |

You could express your displeasure to your brother by writing him a touching note and letting him know it hurts your spirit when he insults you..if truly he's your blood and he's got your back,he'll even be your defender against outsiders..also,talk less or only necessary..nevertheless,dont let stammering rob you of your happiness..life is too short for iranu  .enjoy!!after all, Moses in the Bible was a stammerer yet God used him!.4 Likes |

Bro... I know people make mockery of stammers but most times it's always behind them. If they laugh you to your face then it's basically because of the way you present yourself. Most stammers that I know are very aggressive n short tempered, you dare not laugh them to their face. I won't advice you to use violence but then again, you have to fix everyone of them up. |

I was once a stammerer. A chronic one at that. You know that type that locks up totally after trying to make a particular sentence and ends up crying..... Yep, that's me  . In fact do u know my mum actually thought I was dumb when I was still a child because at the age of 2 while other kids were struggling with words, I was just...dumb. A chronic dumb stammer.How I worked on it; 1. I spoke less. Replied with one or two words when questioned. 2. I picked my "hard" words, words that gave me trouble, eg, words that starts with "c" or "k" (like catastrophe) and practiced them in private. It helped my fluency. 3. Don't talk when tensed, angry or nervous. Stick to simple words when in this situation or just ignore. 4. Surround yourself with people who appreciates you regardless of your case. People who see past your stammering. 5. Be patient in everything. Don't rush or get excited. It heightens stammering. 6. Learn not to take it to heart when others laugh. They may actually have worse issues than you, so just ignore them. Once they notice you don't care, they let you be. Oh and I am better now. A chatterbox for that matter. You would never know until I tell you. Take care. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

I feel your pain bro. I was a stammerer myself and mine was crazy as Bleep. At a time, I totally stopped talking but the funny thing is when I speak to myself the words just flow out so I got to realize it's a psychological defect. What did I do? First I started practising my own way of talking, how to put words together, how to purse and allow air flow in n out my lungs, overcoming the difficult alphabets and looking myself in the mirror while talking. I realized that even people that don't have that problem communicate not only with their lips but with their body as well, they use hand signals, shoulder shrugging, eyebrow raising and I realized stammerers only focus on what they want to say and forget that saying things can be fun. It goes with emotions which express themselves in our body movement and as such you see anxiety in a stammerer when he's making a statement because that's what goes on in his head.. So I decided to master that act as well.. I also decided to start talking to authority figures around me, have a conversation with them like they are my pears and also in special gatherings, I strike up something interesting with a total stranger.. Sometimes it goes well but sometimes it goes blahhhh.. but the fun of it is I was building confidence. Then I joined a meeting, started by always making a statement and I think that's where I got my miracle. The members were matured, they allowed me time to speak, discussed the topic I raised and sometimes quote me in subsequent meetings. That really boosted my esteem, I started feeling I had a voice and started using it as well. I contested to be the secretary of the association and thankfully I won, and the experience of reading minutes to 300+ members and giving information as at when due helped as well. I also started sharing testimony in church and so many other social activities while still stammering. People noticed and got used to it, I started healing and I can tell you that today I have a nickname among my peers for being a talkertive . I will also be made to present a case on official visitation on behalf of the association and I will do it without mincing a word. So my dear, my advice for you is to stop feeling sorry for yourself because the way you carry yourself is how people will carry you. Enjoy life, don't be violent about your situation but work on it, don't hide your voice, study how straight talkers talk and learn from them, show the world you have a voice and thank me later. 4 Likes |

Bro stuff like this tends to happen at one point or the other to stamerrers. What you need to do to your brother is to write him a heartfelt letter or call him aside and try to express how you really feel whenever someone makes fun of you for stammering. It doesn't matter how you say it...he's your blood he'll listen and try to understand you. I was once a chronic stammerer like you and i understand how it feels particularly when family members also engage in laughing at you. The first step in having to overcome the mockery that comes with stammering is to love yourself for who you are. Then also have it at the back of your mind that your family loves you no matter how bad a stammerer you are. Andysnoopy and twaci already have some helpful tips on how you can overcome(or reduce) it. The looking into the mirror part and practicing the harder words works like magic. Also try controlling your breath flow cos to a large extent it aids your speech output. Lastly try and speak slowly... and in a more rhythmic way. Trust me it works. Above all bro have it at the back of your mind that people would tend to talk about you behind your back. That's the more reason you should love yourself and build your confidence. Peace bro 2 Likes 2 Shares |
