Thanks for all the info guys. :) Glad to know I am not alone that it isn't just me. But yeah like some have said I will try to slow down more and not be in such a hurry either.

I have no idea why, but I stammer and stutter, too. I don't know how effective this will be for you, but it apparently helps some people a lot; try to say the words slowly, that way the pauses are less noticeable, and that way you have more time to think of the right words. It works for some people, though it never actually did anything for me. =P

I stammer and mumble when I'm asked to respond on a topic where I lack confidence or otherwise don't have enough information to put together a good response. The stammering is a result, I think, of jumbling together thoughts from not having enough background in a topic to guide a clear thought train. The mumbling I think is a way to try to mitigate the resulting embarrassment. For this reason, written speech has always been easier for me, as there is the possibility to revise and reconsider. In situations where it's important that I try to avoid stammering (mostly work-related), I try to remember to take a few moments to collect my thoughts before opening my mouth.


Me, too
