Speech Issue Hi For all my life speaking is more of a chore to me, than it should be. I have to really think what I want to say, and prepare myself to say it. Sometimes I can't get out the word I want to say (I physcially can't form the word), and I have to change. I speak to fast, and my friends often say what. I mumble and speak very fast quite often, thereafter I have to backtrack, and slow down. It's getting to the stage where i'm sick of finding speaking difficult and I need to resolve this now. I can't even prounce words that end in "ing" so for example the word "king", is "kin", "bring", is "brin" I'm 22, and about to leave college, this shouldn't be something I need to worry about. Even in college, I have done numerous presenattions, I always seem to do well, but I know myself it might not come across great.
