If you try and take the time to think of what you're going to say before you say it, and consciously slow it down when you do say it, that should help.

Do nothing but realize this: just because people your age like you doesn't mean the older kids will when you get there. Tone down the egotism and self confidence and learn proper English.

Might be a tie, but I think I confuse others more--by talking too fast.  I [usually] know what I'm trying to say but am often met with blank looks because my wordsslurredtogether.  ;)

Get away from the computer and go out and exercise, you're young and you should be using your youth to be in good healthy condition instead of playing video games or being bored. Take a dictionary to learn something or scrabble. Also, if you take your time you could learn 7 languages like I do. \nI know you don't neccesarrily talk all of them, but it will broaden your horizons and it will make it easier for you to get a job. \nI'm 24 and I'm already almost to be retired and about to get another job that way I can have my second retirement.\nLife is to big to be bored and not be able to do anything, do something creative.

That's so normal......I'm 24 now, have been talking to myself as long as i can remember..... it only becomes a problem when you think you are talking to others that aren't there....\nYou are as special and unique as you want to be........and don't let anyone tell you differenly. \nRemember, as long as you really are talking to yourself and not having elaborate disucussions with yourself or "others", than you are ok:-) maybe you talk to yourself because you feel no one else will listen.....then you might find counseling to be helpful.

Maybe you are trying to hard, just relax.  Talking as natural as it should be, isn't always easy for some to do in the company of others, but I think if you were to not put too much effort into it, it would just come normal.  I am sure you have got opinions about things, just pick your time, don't just talk for talking sake, because then you may babble and talk a whole lot of nonsense.  Speak up when you know you have something soound to contribute and after\nawhile you will be saying more than even you realize.  Baby steps, you'll be o.k   Talking is overated anyway :)

Do something and increase your self confidence.When talking don't too fast take your time and let the words come out.Those who laugh at you aren't worthy of being called friends.I know I had this problem too,still have it but not so evident.Hope this helps.

PRACTICE, i know uve heard it a million times.By now you expect yourself to stammer. you are going to need to do alot of talking to yourself practice getting it right when theres no audiance, plan what u are gonna say and pactice just being able to get it done. then mov on to publick stuff, MAKE yourself speak up in groups. and remember that everyone has problems, you arent gonna get thr over night, but one of the best publick speakers ive ever heard STAMMERED a little during his speach, i met him aftrward, and he said about what you said in your question. it had been a life long struggle for him too.

Take care of your voice, don't speak if you don't have to, if possible, let is rest. drink hot drinks, with honey in it sooths. I had been overusing my voice for three weeks, I saw a specialist, she told me to keep it quiet, easier said then done, I went back to see her after a few months and she was suprised it really was improved. so my advice rest your voice as much as possible until you gain your old voice back. Good luck

Hi\n\nThe first thing I would recommend is you make an appointment with a qualified Speech Pathologist.   This is a person who specialises in how we make words, the specific muscles used as well as linquistic differences.\n\nThey will be able to assess your speech to determine if it is wholly connected with your movement to a new country or a loss of speaking ability.     \n\nIf it is connected to you hearing different accents causing muscle confusion then they will be able to provide techniques and advice on how to rectify and improve your speech.\n\nIf, on the other hand your ability to speak has decreased, then they possibly will be able to identify what, where, how much and possibly why.   They would then be able to advise you what you can do i.e. who else to see.\n\nPersonally, from what you have said, it sounds most likely you are suffering from confused accents syndrome.  I know when I travel I usually end up sounding more like a local and loose much of my 'own' accent.    Oh and I cannot emphasise a strong "r" in a word and pronounce some words in my own unique way and my main language is English.\n\nSo, see that speech pathologist and put your mind at rest.

Speak whenever you have the possibility to do so. Don't think a lot about grammar (I suppose you are non native speaker of English), say whatever comes to your mind.  I had the same problem, but with time I developed some self-confidence.Keep in mind that you are not the only one who has a fear of speaking, and it is something natural that must be done.Good luck!
