Online speaking

Online speaking Hi, I am new here and I am a 19yo girl who recently started med school. That is already stressful by itself, but after a month of school the second wave came and another lockdown st...

Yep, he’s definitely not a speech therapist. I’ve only just delved into it, but I like the idea of consciously using tactics to help myself. My anxiety has been diagnosed by a professional who I see...

Ah, yeah, Lovett isn't a speech therapist, but the self-help intention of the book might apply (depending on your mileage). - When you said anxiety, I asumed you meant diagnostically?...

I’m not actually sure about the therapy part. I’ve recently started reading a stuttering help book by Lee Lovett, and he introduced me to the term speech anxiety. I’ve kind of adopted it ever since, a...

A _straw **brie**_ daiquiri. Sounds a bit too thick for a straw, eh? ;) - >speech anxiety This is interesting. Does that mean that speech therapy doesn't work, because it's the anxiety that over...

I worked in three different supermarkets in different sizes so far and my stutter helping customers is almost non existent. I liked approaching them and being very polite and talking quietly. got much...

Honestly I don’t know if I would or not. I love the language and I like teaching it to people online so I imagine I’ll enjoy the actual teaching part but I honestly don’t know if it’s worth doing it i...

Yeah that’s what I’m hoping. I’m hoping that if I do it it just won’t be a problem and the students won’t care but at the same time I don’t know if I can get it to be mild enough or controlled enough ...

Thanks that’s really good to know. I’m not expecting it to be really good or bad all the time if it is what I decide to do but the idea of standing in front of a class of 25-30 students and just not b...

Sometimes when I think about what I’m about to say I freeze up. When I talk freely, I’m fine, but when I start thinking about what to say, for example, “what is the answer to question 2” and I can onl...

I could go up in the front and do a presentation for 20 minutes straight and have no anxiety but I can’t say here...

Idk, it gets so bad when he calls my name for attendance. Everyone says “here” soo fast and with my “NOTHING comes out” no words. No sounds. And I’m wearing a mask due to covid. I also have really ba...

He doesn’t look up which I think messes me up. He looks down at his attendance paper so I feel like I have to talk louder and I freeze up. When people look at me, I can talk but he doesn’t and I freez...

I can understand that , thank you for the insight. It just always feels like there’s a magnifying glass on me whenever I speak...

Sometimes I do. Like when people ask me what my name is, I freeze up and stutter. I mumble words a little but it’s not that bad. I just freeze up and it’s embarrassing...

I think it’s anxiety. I think about the name before me and I know exactly when I’m supposed to say “here”. I just freeze. No words come out....

Yeah, I also remember this happening to me when I was younger. I think I raised my hand and said here(only start thinking about saying here when the name of the student that comes before you is said)....

Man, I feel like people don't understand and don't want to understand what's going on with me... It just angers me so much when people tell me it's my fault that I stutter and that I can't pronounce w...

Good thing that you didn't hurt yourself. I really want to talk on the lessons, but I never do that, beceause I know how it ends. My life is hard too, i feel fear for talking every day. And it's no...

Yeah, I feel much better now. I try to practice my speech, but I don't see any effects. In the end, I'm come back to the start again. Some teachers know about my problem (I didn't talk to them about ...
