Words not coming out right

Post Reply New Topic

And sometimes I stutter

Well there are some words I could not pronounce if my life depended on it....and other then that some days I cannot seem to get my tounge untangled lol, I will know what I want to say but things will come out all jumbled or whatever. It does not seem to be dependant on stress though, it seems like a random thing.

Happens to me, I usually end up just end up making silly noises and making an idiot of myself or mixing up words. Happens a lot more often when I'm nervous, which is with 99% of people. Even with my parents who are the only people I'm relaxed talking with, I'll do it at times.

Well caffeine can help attention deficit so maybe that is part of your problem.



Do you care to elaborate? Or were you saying something you'd rather not share here?

Happens to me usually if I'm really tired or if I have ate or drank something that is making me feel foggy upstairs.

Sometimes words can come out wrong, which makes me sound like one of those mentally ret*d people. But I know myself that my speech is normal generally, it's just that when I'm with a person who makes me feel a little nervous, I tend to blurt things out quicker than usual, which makes some words come out differently. Like sometimes I accidentally miss out an ''S'' at the end of a word, which makes me feel so embarrassed, especially knowing that I don't generally miss out the ''S''. It gets really embarrassing sometimes.

It's pretty much my normal state of being. Sometimes it's so bad that the word I say is in no way related to the one I meant to say. For example, a couple days ago I tried to tell my SO that I smelled freshly cut grass and what came out of my mouth was, "I smell water." ???????! !! I definitely wasn't anxious. My speech translator is just broken.

I've actually seen NTs say the wrong word too - especially older NTs (not so much young NTs). Once at work a colleague of mine came in and said, ''what...um...what...administrater is in today?'' She sounded like she couldn't think of the right word, but automatically knew she meant what manager is in today. It made me laugh, then I told her which manager was in.

And my mum is getting terrible. She gave me some rubbish and said, ''can you put this in the barrel?'' and I said, ''in the what?'' She meant bin.

Ehe....Jory..I am absolutely the same!! !

The only people I can talk to without this happening are my parents and my best friend. If I'm talking to anybody else, the words just come out wrong and I end up sounding like an idiot.
