RomanceRe: Stammerer How Una Dey Toast Girl? by MapleSettlers: 8:09am On Mar 09, 2020
hmm this can be a sensitive topic as I stammer myself.
I can't speak from a man's perspective as its expected for the guys to do the toasting so I assume it can be nerve racking for men who stammer.
I say relax and be confidence. If the lady thinks you sound funny thats her loss.

Please visit my blog which focuses on stammering as an African woman living in Canada. thank you smiley

Hello There..stutterer over here grin

I need you to tell yourself that it will get better with time. First step is to accept this part of you because based on my experience, its not going anywhere. I totally get what you are feeling because I have been there and sometimes life takes there sometimes. You need to be comfortable with stuttering as theres nothing you can do about it and try to live your life and not compare yourself with other people. after being comfortable i think you might be at ease and even when you are speaking with people and you have blocks, you will be a little less embarrassed about it than before.. work hard and please live your life and don't beat yourself.

Please visit my blog and podcast when you can. I am speaking about how stuttering as an African and this is not what pple talk about..
thank you.

Nairaland GeneralRe: The Pain And Grievances Of A Stammerer by MapleSettlers: 5:02pm On Aug 05, 2019
first off, congrats on being bold and just being you! I can totally relate with EVERYTHING you are going through. I stutter myself and growing up back home was a struggle. and that made be become an introvert after being shamed in primary school. We have a longg way to go in nigeria in terms of disabilities, acceptance, respect and so on. as comedians still use the stutter line as a form of comedy which is so wrong on so many levels.
back to you Paul. I say keep being you.. it will take a while but just do you, let people know you stammer, develop a thick skin because sadly, people in our country will make fun of you and laugh in your face which should NEVER be the case but you have to be thick skinned. and live your life because it could be worse. You have to accept this part of you because its not going anywhere. Cheer up.

Please read and listen to my blog and podcast about stammering as I am trying to bring awareness to our community. Thank you.

Hello everyone, my name is paul and am a serving corp member in bayelsa (N. Y. S. C) since childhood i have been battling with a speech disorder (stuttering), and for as long as i can remember it has made me an introvert.
Let me rewind to my school days, i can't vividly remember how i stuttered all through my primary school days, but I can during secondary school. It has made me build a wall around my self therefore making me less social and hard to access because It hurts, i mean it hurts so deep like a knife through the heart, you will only understand this if are in my shoes because you're becoming something or somebody your not. You have a lot to say or an issue to shed light on in the midst of your colleagues and the moment you open your mouth words fail you. In the midst of all you look stupid and your frozen. And that's because you don't know whether the next word coming straight out your mouth is going to sound like ma! ma!! ma! Na! Na! Name is paul, and by the time you open your eyes and your catching your breath to recover you are realising that there's a crowd in front of you and you just messed up big time.
When your done stuttering through every word and your taking your seat everyone is gonna be like "so this young man is a stammer" and that's the painful part and not all of us can deal with it.
Fast-forward to today, there was a meeting with my fellow corp members and my lg inspector was around, every coordinator spoke and it came to my turn to address the crowd, even before i stood up i was scared for myself, i was not scared of what to say but I was scared that my mouth would fail me leaving me stupid and empty in the faces my colleagues and just as I predicted, i stood up and i stammered my way all through. But as i looked at the faces of everyone while expressing my self and gesticulating with my hands I tried not to stutter but the more I tried not to the more I did, i was representing my group but it looked as If i failed them. I love vr to express my self, i love to be heard but i just cant deal with this, its tearing me apart, it making me feel empty, I don't want to be pitied on.
After the whole discussion and we closed, I couldn't look at the faces of everyone, I just bowed my head like a man drunk with regret and walked out.

I hold him in higher esteem too nah.

Meanwhile, I've known him since I was a GT. His coaching then via emails and chats (when he still used to do it for free really helped transform me from a bright honors graduate who'd stammer and stutter over every interview question into a confident candidate with plenty offers to choose from.

U can't like Jarus more than me, if I were a lady, I'd probably date him. Even now self..... grin grin grin

But what if he's really Mosgoon using us to do a social experiment?

Come to think of it sef, I may be Mosgoon.

mokaflex:
There’s no film trick to stammering, everyone who stammers do so cause they want/attempt to talk fast. LEARN TO TALK VERY VERY VERY SLOWLY. overtime stammering would disappear and you wouldn’t know it. Remember talk very slowly. It’s almost not possible to stammer when you talk or read slowly.

Thank you very much for the information. This is true. This is a universal activity for your body and soul. In many ways, this is a good exercise that will keep your body in shape. You can improve your health just at times, by constantly stretching that is very useful. I even took yoga training from https://www.siddhiyoga.com/ I've never felt better

INTERESTING OBSCURE MOVIE FACTS

- The director of Cannibal Holocaust had to prove in court that the actors were still alive and weren't killed
during the movie. I understand where they're coming from. That movie was brutal.
- Ryan Gosling was cast as Noah in The Notebook because the director wanted someone "not handsome". Well, ladies certainly don't share that opinion.
- Django Unchained is the first time in 16 years that Leonardo DiCaprio didn't get the top billing. He has Jamie Foxx to thank for the broken record btw.
- Samuel L. Jackson used the word motherf**ker to overcome his stam-stam-stammer.
- Morgan Freeman's line, in Shawshank Redemtion "Maybe it's 'cause I'm an Irish" is not a joke. In the novel 'Red' really is Irish.
- Saw was filmed in 16 days.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won all 11 Academy Awards it was nominated for. Still holds the record.
- Peter O'Toole has been nominated for eight acting Oscars and not won any.
- The word "Nigger" is said exactly 123 times in Quentin Tarantino's, Django Unchained.
- Each frame of the CGI scenes in James Cameron's, Avatar (1/24 of a second) took an average of 46
hours to render.
- Paranormal Activity cost $15000 to make and has grossed $210 million since.
- In Iron Man/Avengers, J.A.R.V.I.S is an acronym for "Just A Rather Very Intelligent System."
- The charcoal drawing of Kate Winslet in James Cameron's, Titanic was actually drawn by James Cameron
- Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) had no intention of working on The Lord of the Rings until his sons begged him to do it
- The original cut of The Wolf of Wallstreet had over four hours worth of content so had to be cut further.
- Steven Seagal was choked unconscious on a movie set by "Judo" Gene LeBelle, and Seagal sh*t himself.

Abeg no vex, no be say I no see diz ya transcript since ooo, I get Visa fever so body no gree me comment for your transcript. Gurus biko take over grin
However, I think you have great responses, kinda shows you know what you want. Yet, judging from your past experience, I think your focus shouldn't just be on "what to say" but "how to say what needs to be said". I mean your delivery. You would need intensive sessions of mock interview, someone needs to drill you hard so you can get comfortable with PRESSURE. Pressure is the enemy!
A friend once told me it's not bad to stutter, it shows you are human and not a robot that memorized answers, but he also said "don't stutter too much, you will ruin the communication"
I wish there was more I could do for you, I am sorry.
I wish you well, let's go get that visa.

It depends on what city you are in ontario. Most of these phone plans are almost the same so it depends.. do you want to buy the phone and pay your bill monthly or get a "free" phone and gradually pay for the phone with your monthly bill.. there are various providers here.. fido, telus, bell, chatr and wind. its best to look on their websites and figure out what will work for you.. especially data.. how much do you think you will need when you have no wifi.
