Toks2008:


Stammer confidently...some ladies find it sexy.

Lmao why are you like this?

I was also a stammerer from childhood but I notice my stammering is usually caused by fear and sometimes talking fast and my heart usually beats very fast when stammering.Even now I sometimes stammer but one thing that always help is I try to calm my self as often as possible when speaking, also speak only when necessary.
Use a mirror often especially if you have a speech or seminar to present.
But if it's chronic you might want to see a doctor or a good therapist.

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.

Every time 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

if God can heal me of the same issue for more than 20 years, he can heal you too. Like they said, be calmer, don't be nervous, if you're about to stammer, stop, relax before you continue.

So...so...sor...sorr...sorr...Bros... Sorrio!

Dont t be deprssed i also starmmer too. Over the years I have learnt to control it , but tallking slowly , you have to let your brain coordinate your speech by not talking emotionally.
Take your time to pronounce your words and dont forget to pray.

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
Talk slowly. Calculate your speech.

I've never really had real contact with a stsmmerer though

@bolded
Maybe we should go out on a date

PDPGuy:

He was lucky.
Not every guy, who stutters, can find a woman.

I didn't state that I have a gf? Am not single, am dating

bluefilm:
So...so...sor...sorr...sorr...Bros... Sorrio!

bro, i also stammers... it's not the end of the road, i am a chronic stammerer , sometimes in the process of talking i feel like I'm loosing my breath.. but know one thing, if you're depressed, that's when it gets worse.

i stammers but it doesn't make to stop talking, I'm serving in ogun state.. right here in the lodge,i talk the most... i am a funny guy, each time i talk i always find a way to make people laugh.... that also makes me happy thereby reducing the rate of stammering... now i can talk and chat with people without you noticing that i stammers except the slight repetition of words,


IN ALL, JUST FIND A WAY TO MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY ALWAYS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU WILL BE A TALKATIVE

You need a speech and language therapist (SALT). They are psychologists who work with ENT units. Go to hospital and request to see one.

Op you got to be happy with yourself first.

Suicide shud neva be an option i beg of u.

Truth is life is never fair to all.
Never. Ever.

If you know what people are going through., yet they live happily or at least they appear to.

One of my siblings is also a stammerer.
in addition to that, he is at the moment paralyzed in one leg and hand.

But you need to see him, full of life.
He keeps telling people his life is a testimony.
And in deed it is a testimony.

My dear, you are here for a purpose. Fulfill that purpose.
As you do. you will see reason to be happy.

One more thing, try to slow down the pace of your speech. Don't rush things, don't be too anxious.

Be good, Jesus loves you.

This helped someone we know , hope it will help you too....

Stammer intentionally when you are alone. There is a vast neurological scientific reason. You do not need to find the reason as of now. Just stammer with purpose for next 2 months. You will see the difference.

When you are listening to someone or sitting in a group, do not focus on voice and sound of others. Focus on messages and perceive the environment in visualization mode and not on sound mode.

Hope we can come up with more helpful tips later......

It will end in praise Tobi!

You always refer to your self as a third person. If your business isn't a limited liability company or not even registered by CAC, better start addressing yourself in the first person.

Relax bro. I was once in your shoe, I have cried in public because of that before. God helped me and used my parents for me. Firstly, stammering is as a result of sharp brain. Secondly, reduce the rate at wish you get angry at people. Thirdly, read books aloud, I tried reading bible in church whenever they call a verse. I was doing that to improve myself. Lastly, the son of man has came to manifest to destroy the works of the devil. Take it to God in prayer. You can chat with me on Watsapp for more 08069038320

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...

me that does not have nails nko. Both toe and finger nails still I love myself. U really need to love urself and forget how humans feel

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

U can get over it.....take solution of bitter cola in HOT. water..2/3 cut into pcs twice a week....God can heal u.....I was one ... before

that's very true

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!

thanks, actually when am walking, I can talk fluently

Nairalanders, dey can be so sweet and lovely sometime sha
See them with their comments, so far no hate speech just encouragement and good counsel
Bravo!

Guy be yourself. Own it and be free of fear
I once attended a meeting were almost all of the speakers stammer at some level even me self so what. Learn to avoid your triggers and don't be afraid of talking. Fear I know from experience is a killer!
Also anger. In fact fear and anger can render you useless. Have control, be in control of your emotions always.

mmadu5:
dude , people are dying of AIDS , CANCER , HEPATITIS and many more , your ONLY worried about being a stammerer ., ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

it is very easy to brush it aside as a non-issue. I can relate to it and I know how many people have taunted me with it.

Has humans we all have our bundle, that yours...... embrace it and you will see how wonderful you are, people will laugh you let them make fun of you but the moment you start taking that weakness and turning it to strong point, you see how strong you are...... we are all born different.

Deaf and blind people have being able to get married, have childrend, have wonderful friends and grow old so ni don't see why yours is different

Hey bro I also stutter when I talk. My advice to u is accept ur self. I know u are trying to hide it but it will only create more problems for u as ppl will start looking at you as not smart. What does not kill you will makes u stronger. It's not going to be easy but 7 have to accept ur self anything u can't change u accept. That's d only way to happiness.

justdogitto:
Don't be depressed bro. No one is born perfect and you didn't create yourself!
I got this online for you! Remember there are dumb people that would want to trade your place.. Take it easy on yourself.. All will be well

You can control and overcome fear of stuttering, speak fluently. You can also improve your nature of speak, such as - don't speak fast, do concentrate on phrase or words. You can improve your nature of speech by practicing some methods, they are: -

Alexk2:
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.

"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"

Nice there.

thornapple:
Get a speech therapist. That's all.

is there any in Nigeria?

Be proud of yourself bro.

Some çan speak but are too shy
Some can speak but can't express themselves properly that they end up being mute.

I believe you are just feeling embarrassed from your own perspective. Many know you already, they understand you and appreciate your existence and am sure they can find a way to blend with you. Never be discouraged. You are unique, so just be you and do away with your susidal thoughts
