Do not be discouraged. Stammering has a cure.
Do you stammer:
1. When you are talking to yourself?
2. When you are reading a book?
3. When you are singing to yourself?

no

THIS stuttering ISSUE HAS MADE ME A GENTLE MAN , AS against MY WISH . my parents and no one in my lineage stammers, how com me and my bro stammers? people think am dumb cos u don't fight back wen abused or argue with people. BT I chase women a lot as I don't stammer on first approach, BT later and later , I shy away and dump dem cos my stutter show up and I don't wanna embarrass my self . I don't like visiting my family relations not because I hate dem or proud BT because I can't stand dem looking at me in disdain when I speak. .

In school , I always request to be assistant, even though I merit a leader position, once I came 1st position in class, BT because I'll have to speak, I neglected going out , o chose to be 3rd so DAT I won't have to be in the spotlight at all.. stammerers are intelligent, bold and daring people but they fear WORDS. I JEALOUS MY YOUNG COUSIN OF 5 YEARS who can be so fluent when he speaks. I use to tell God, if I were a fluent speaker, I would av been someone great.

I have good news for you.

Background:

I have been stammering for the past 40years. I can still remember my neighbors laughing at me when i was 3years old because i wasn't as fluent as my younger cousin.

But that's all part of what makes me me. With my stammering I got a job with one of the top 4 audit firms, left to join a top oil servicing company. That's to say I was interviewed, passed the interview, and now working effectively with people. I am a c-suit manager.

The background is to encourage you that your stammering/ stuttering cannot limit you if you don't allow it to.


My suggestions on how to manage your stuttering

These are the few ways i have learnt to manage the stuttering:

1. Have a good idea of what you want to say before you say it
2. Deliberately start speaking slowly - starting from the very first syllable. If you don't feel weird and uncomfortable doing this, then you are not doing it well
3. Carefully enunciate each syllable of every word you speak i.e. make every part of the word distinct e.g. po-pu-lar.
4. Try to have even amount of space between each word and syllable e.g. "po-pu-lar" not "po......pular"
4. Learn to breath while speaking

These are the exercises I suggest

a. Do at least four 2minutes audio recording of yourself everyday talking about different things. Then listen to the recordings and do the needed adjustments
b. Do at least five 1minute video recordings of you trying to market or convince people to buy a product or something. Observe your facial expressions and correct as required.

This should be done for the next 60days until it becomes a part of you.

The sky is the limit (and still remember to pray to God to order your steps).

All the best
thanks man

May God bless the mod that moved this to the front Page. I wouldn't have come across this.

My colleague in the stammering world. Don't feel bad anymore. Here comes the solution you crave for.

You are not alone and Stammering is not the end of the world.

I Tamethem was a very bad stammerer and I will tell you how it stopped. Yours too will stop.

I grew up to know I was stammering, how I started I don't know and it made me a shy, easy going person.

I was brilliant as a kid but as much as I hated stammering I couldn't stop it. And it was kind of killing me inside.

I would know questions asked in the class as a kid but would be afraid to raise my hand up out of fear of not wanting to be a ridicule.

People would cross my part, offend me but I would be calm and let them go because if we should be asked to come and explain ourselves. I would not be able to make a sentence more so when you are angry and annoyed.And I might end up being cautioned despite being on my right.

This went on till when I was in form one in the early 80s . My Dad of blessed memory used to buy Daily Newspapers everyday and it used to be Two types every day. One day I held Vanguard Newspapers and I saw the Title "How to stop Stuttering" I love reading and I didn't know the meaning of Stuttering so I read it out of curiosity.

And that was what God used to heal me.

In the article it was stated that Stuttering is another word for Stammering and Every stammerer is an intelligent person ( Creative Person) They have lots of ideas upstairs . The cause of stammering is the Clash of ideas. Stammerers are not patient people also.

So in wanting to talk, they want to deliver two, three or four ideas at a go. Which is not possible it has to be one after the other. This is the cause of Stammering.

I am a creative person truly. I can do virtually everything. From fixing pipes and connecting pipes like a plumber, to fixing electrical errors at home, to Barbing like a professional, singing and singing beautifully, I compose Songs and write poems and even stories. I am the best story teller in the world to my kids and my nephews and nieces. I used to be a good dancer also in the 80s during the Break Dance erra. Etc etc etc. Like seriously.

Now in the writeup they listed the ways to stop stammering and I promised myself to practice all and when I did ,it gradually stopped.

Two weeks back I was telling a friend that I used to be a very bad stammerer and he said its a lie. But this is true.

Now follow these steps like I did and you will thank God you read this piece.

1. Go on your knees and pray to God to help you to stop. Include the request in your daily prayer everyday. By doing this you keep telling God how important it is for you to stop and at the same time you are reminding yourself you need to practice the rules.

2. Remember we stammerers are impatient people, so we need to practice patience in every thing we do. Patience is important to change our character.

3. When ever you want to talk think of what you want to say, be sure this is what you want to say before you open your mouth. Be sure of each sentence in your mind before you open your mouth.

4. Now open your mouth and pick your words one after the other . Don't say for example "I want to go to the market" that is the normal way for the normal ppl,

We are not like them, we are special ppl full of ideas and without patience grin

So say it like. " I - want - to - go - to - the - market" one after the other ,no rushing. Don't be shy to talk this way Pick those words in each sentence one after the other. Practice it frequently while alone, while praying to God and while with friends that understand your situation. As you do you gain confidence and rediscover your self.

5. Lastly don't be anxious , be calm when talking and don't think about it as a problem or thinking of the people around, what are they thinking of me. Enjoy your new way of talking having it in mind that you are progressing .


If you do all these bro. You will just discover one day that you are speaking faster gradually and the rate at which you stammer is reducing by the day until its all gone.

Today I don't stammer unless I am angrily and talking furiously to ppl. Besides hardly would you know I was once a BAAAAD STAMMERER. And I talk as fast as everyone. I don't pick my words anymore.

You will soon be like me and regain your confidence.

In Jesus Name

Much love from Tamethem your fellow Stutterer. grin
thanks so much, I appreciate

xtervaganza:
hello. My name is also Tobi from Ogun state but I was born and bred in Ibadan.



Here's what I have to say........ You're young, tall and healthy. But you're depressed over your speech problem? Do you know people go through worse daily? Some are battling terminal illness. Some financial ruin and you're here crying over your low speech. See, I'm not insensitive to your plight. I quite understand you and how you feel but trust me, it's not the worst thing in the world. Millions of people will gladly trade places with you.


You need to appreciate life and see what's good in it and find a way to make it better. I myself I have physical limitations ( no one on earth is perfect physically) but guess what? I found a way to make the most of it. Right now I can 100% boldly my physical limitations is no longer a problem.


As for your stuttering, I think you're putting too much thoughts into it and that's why it's getting worse. Anxiety is what you have and it surely makes stuttering worse. It may shock you to know MKO Abiola and Ayinde Barrister stuttered but they found a way to overcome . Trust me, if you can relax yourself b4 talking it will get better. Or even memorise the things you want to say b4 saying it.




And it's 2018! Who gives a crap about that? I laugh at myself b4 anybody does so I practically neutralised what anybody has to say about me.



Live life and have fun
u fully understand my problem, I give so much thought, exactly what I was looking for

PeacenLove2:
It's been observed that people who stammer have period of certain level of fluency, it fluctuates. So don't give up just yet. Your moment will come, only a matter of time.

It's different for every one who stutters but with time, you master yourself and manage your speech better. Start somewhere, however it works for you, at your own pace.

Fear, anxiety and lack of confidence makes it worse so you need to pump yourself up with some confidence, believe in yourself and don't let a few hiccups here and there discourage you. It gets better for real.

Stress, hunger, poor diet, lack of sleep, exhaustion are recipe for disaster. You need to take care of yourself. Pay attention to this.

Be around positive people and learn not to give a hoot about what negative people think about you or anything else for that matter.

You could get frustrated while getting better but please learn to find the silver lining. It's always there somewhere.

Be happy, laugh a lot, forgive and move on fast. You will be surprised one day you will catch yourself addressing the public without a glitch.

Keep your head up! cool

thanks, actually when am walking, I can talk fluently

I stammer more when I speak with Igbo my native language. And I speak relatively free with I speak with English. So I talk more with English than Igbo. With that,people hardly know that am a stammerer. Learn d language that you van use to reduce the stermerin stuff just like my self. A lot of people think that I speak English always to show off, the really font know the reason for that...
bro, I was like you, few years ago, but it became even worse now that am growing and getting more matured

MaestroJosh:
What makes the matter worse is because you're being controlled by people's opinion concerning your life. Calm yourself down, inhale nd exhale then say to yourself ; i can overcome this. Be positive nd relax, communicate with your friends as you always do, don't think too much, do what you love most and most importantly, try to keep it simple by speaking softly, not too fast, and with relaxed mind.. You'll surely overcome. The lord is your strength.
am not controlled by people's opinion, I just wish I can speak fluently, and I don't want to limit myself for anything, all I want to reduce it or even stop it

It's not a disease neither is it a curse my brother. You're unique and amazing just the way you are and I encourage you to love yourself first and never let anyone put you down. There'll be people who won't understand or who choose to display there ignorant; ignore them and just live your life happily as much as possible. You'll get better or learn to overcome that challenge by keep talking wherever and whenever possible not to keeping quite....so face the fear and learn to enjoy doing so. God is your strength.
thanks man

Hi, everyone, am tobi from ogun state, a tall guy in his early twenties, I'm a stammerer from birth but recently i have been noticing that it's been getting worse, I can't talk anymore in public without the fear of embarrassing myself.

Everytime am on the net, searching for "How to stop Stammering" but up till now, no improvement, I have tried all method, but still no improvement, Each time I go out to buy something, I usually embarrass myself, sometimes I overhear people saying, is he deaf and dumb?

I have few friends I talk to regularly, they do understand but not everyone understands, it wasn't as bad as this early this year or in the middle of the year, I just can't explain, Usually I talk fast, but people advise me to calm down while talking but even though I try to calm down I still end up Stammering, am frustrated, nothing is working, its even leading me to suicidal thoughts, am just tired,

Ignore my typos, am just frustrated
