I disagree with this to an extent like yes I do substitute words that don't fit grammatically however I don't think that effects your intelligence at all. You may sound less intelligent but simply say...

Because of word substitution and all, I am really fycking sentence structures and sometimes I completely change the meaning. My language proficiency is also degrading day by day because of avoidance b...

I feel dumber than before

I feel dumber than before It is often said that if you are intelligent or cultured, it shows in your language, but... what if the other way around also works? I'm not saying that if you're stupid yo...

Yeah I would say its hard to have good social skills and a severe stutter as social skills are like a muscle which requires work but when you talk like your having a stroke every 30 seconds like mysel...

For sure, I can understand that for me it’s more of a blocking than a stutter for me. To each his own though. It sucks for us all. I tend to keep to myself because of it. I just got a job doing custom...

I never found a disrespectful for someone to help me finish my words. I actually found it helpful. So I can stop embarrassing myself. 😂 most of the time people know what you’re trying to say...

Have to speak situation

Have to speak situation So today at work, I had to convey one message to my coworker. I started speaking frist word came out good, then I tried and tried to get out my second word, It did get out but ...

Its the opposite for me I find that I often come across as dull or shallow due to using easier to pronounce words. I think it also prevents me from saying what I want to say. Like I get the general id...
