Stuttering and getting tongue tied

Can you think of any things you've tried to say that you messed up due to being nervous? I remember I once said "is that down the 'i' with the tea?" instead of saying "is that down the aisle with the tea?" I don't think I'm talking about stuttering, and more so about messing up what you're trying to say due to thinking too far ahead or due to being nervous.

What particularly gets me, are sentences that involve a mixture of words that either begin with 's' or 'sh'. Something like "she'd a sore shoulder". I'll often get these syllables the wrong way around. Ordinarily I could say this no problem, but if I get nervous I'll over anticipate the fact that I know I'm likely to say "she'd a shore soulder", and therefore and mess it up.

I notice sometimes I'm more likely to stutter around my bully (older) sister. Recently she was going for a walk along our country road, with our dad with her baby in the pram. I had just exited the house and was going to town to get groceries. As I saw them walking in the opposite direction, I decided I was going to stop to ask my father if we needed anything in town. So as I was driving slowly towards them from about 100 yards away, I noticed she waved at me. It's kind of unusual that she would wave. It was really her way of saying "yeah I can see you, will you drive on" as she was probably unsure as to why I was driving slowly. Because I knew she was thinking this, I felt like saying "ah no, I'm actually stopping for a reason". I let this put me under pressure to say what I wanted to say too quickly, and it caused me to stutter.

I think this can happen when you still haven't quite decided what way to phrase your sentence as you're saying it. It's like as if there's two possible options for one to say, and I want to get the best of both world's by saying them both. And so I end up mixing up my words. When I eventually said what I wanted to say as I stopped the car, messed it up slightly. It was still obviously understandable. My father thought of a few things that he needed. She did not like having to wait while he was telling me things he wanted. You see she viewed it as if she was waiting for me to have a chat, but she was actually waiting for my father. Just as I was about to go my father said "okay so". But as you know, a simple "okay so" doesn't mean the interaction is over. But it was enough for her. She said "bye (name)" and began walking off. So my father had to finish what he was saying and sort of catch up with her.

What I should have done, was just stopped the car and taken as long as I ordinarily would take to say something, even if it meant that she might've got in a "why the hell are you stopping?"

 

I think I sometimes slightly slur 'sh' words, reminds me of trying to talk on Ketamine, I don't know if I can attribute it to that tho.

I occassionally get tongue tied or pause to search for words for a few seconds but I basically attribute that as much to not being a practiced public speaker as I do to nervousness.

 

I have 2 tongue peircings.
They weren't tied. But clamped and punched through!

I read yesterday that snake bites are the ballsiest of tongue peircings.

 

When Jane and I got married, she needed to get permission from the bishop to marry outside the Roman Catholic faith.

During her carefully prepared speech, rather than ask for dispensation to marry me, she asked for COMPENSATION.

Am I the only person who has ever seen a bishop burst out laughing.

 

i mix up my words all the time. i don't think it has anything to do with nerves, i just think a lot faster than i talk.

 

Jane tells me that my use of carefully thought out words and grammar sends her to sleep.

I get my revenge by telling her to slow down and let her brain catch up with her tongue.

 

Yeah I do that too. I think I talk too fast for my own ability to talk as fast as I can to speak properly. I also make up words as I talk, not huge words, just like.. I'll. Accidently add a few letters to something. I think it's just an anxious thing. It mainly occurs when I'm sober.

In saying that, it only appears to happen when I speak English and I often trip over my words, misplace them, I also freeze and have to think of words I'm trying to use.

Behind a computer or my phone I'm fine I know exactly what I want to say and what words and how to type it, but in social situations I could probably pull off participating in the special Olympics.

 

A Problem Hardly Worth Worrying About Then.....



Cheers Glen.

 

Wait when did I actually say that?

 

I'm usually too shy to get the words out

 

What about when your tongue gets tired when you're going down on a womaaaannnnnn wrong convo.

 

Didn't Your Mother Tell You......It's Very Rude To Talk Whilst You Are Eating.....
