i think is absolutely normal that you feel that way and you have every reason to. it also looks to me that you may need someone to talk to. so i'll give my msn so you can add me and talk when ever you need to\nlosanteojosdegaba2006@hotmail.com\nluck! ;)

Do others say or imply that you have such a condition? If so, try and see a specialist; a speech pathologist. I'm confident that with therapy you can overcome the impediment. Many famous well recognized people (public speakers) have overcome the condition.

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.  ;)

i sometimes feel this way. i don't feel like I am that shy of a person, but I guess other people think I am very shy. and then when boys I like tell me to be myself and say what I want, I get flustered and say things like "i don't know" even though I have a full journal of stuff I would love to tell them. I don't know why it is so hard for me to speak up in certain social situations. I have things to say, and sometimes I start talking, but then like you said, the more aggressive/louder person takes the conversation over. I guess you and I both just have to try harder to speak our minds and not think so much about what other people will think. Easier said than done though... I hate being shy and I don't know how to get rid of it. and it certainly causes problems in meeting men. so u aren't the only one out there with this issue

I have a very bad temper. I find this very annoying, because every time some one insults me, i embarrass myself. Eg. When I was away at a camp with my friends, we were sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch with around 230 others near us, when I got \nreally angry at one of my friends. I stood up, fists clenched and \nsaid "I am going to kill you" she returned "Id like to see you try" To my later annoyance, I then raised my voice and repeated " I am going to kill you", Until one of my other friends next to me calmed me down. This is a very personal subject and to show your gratitude, could you please vote for me, as I have trouble talking about my temper with others.

oh my gosh. I totally have that dyslexic type syndrome. i consider myself very smart (I'm a lawyer), but feel quite stupid with giving directions and I always say right when I mean left and vice versa.

I am actaully reflecting.\n\nI am guilty of not only venting too much, but sometimes contribute to the madness.\n\nThe name calling especially, oh i am not innocent of it or even above name calling its just, real issues and points are being lost and that bothers me.\n\n\nSo i am reflecting, using humor when its necesary and just presenting my case when i can..\n\nI need a beer too.......cheers

I think it mainly depends on the person and what other problems they have. I know in my case when I got below 40% I was pretty much useless and really couldn't do much until I got back up over 45%. I'm currently around 65% and (for me) am somewhat normal<g>.

Please, everyday of my life.  I feel like the words are coming out, but that people cannot comprehend what I'm saying. Do you understand?

Hi there- being that I have OCD (obsessive/compulsive disorder), I can empathize with how you are bothered by the poor grammar and spelling of other users. Actually, it doesn't bother me at all- which is uncanny. Since I am obsessive-compulsive, it seems counter-intuitive that I would not be bothered by people's mistakes in writing. Of course, I make an occasional faux pas myself. I love the English language...poetry, books, etc. But I do understand that there are other people who may not have an affinity for the written word. I believe that in some instances, the individual may be in a rush, and as a result, they are negligent when it comes to constructing their sentences. Some people may be very young people, or may be people who have recently started using the English language, and don't yet have the same proficiency as some native speakers/writers. From that vantage point, I think that many people, even highly intelligent ones, may have some degree of difficulty assimilating. Ostensibly, English is a difficult language to learn for speakers of other languages. There may be mulitiple reasons for this- such as idiomatic expressions, sarcasm, internet/chat terminology, et cetera. \n\nAt all events, I do understand your concern. I have heard of people with OCD who are greatly perturbed by poor grammar, or using incorrect numbers, and so forth. It stands to reason that there are people who do not have OCD who will also have this sort of pet peeve. I used to correct people when they failed to speak properly- for example, if someone were to say "Where is the car at"? I would chastise them for using a preposition at the end of a sentence. I don't know what aspects about me have changed since that time, but I don't normally try to correct people anymore. Please be assured that there are still people out here that love proper writing, as I am one of them. :)

I know how ya feel it sucks, It's really frustrating. It's really weired. you may stutter to some people and not to others, or some words and not others. And if you change the word, some times you can't say that word and the word you changed it for you can say now. My advice is talk more to people, start with safe environments or people you feel safe with. And who cares if you do stutter, don't hide it. good luck.

First, has a therapist ever talked with you about social anxiety or a social phobia? Also are you in a different culture than the one in which you grew up? \nfrom your post I noticed your language skills were indicative of english as a second language, are you socialising with ppl you CAN communicate with? \nIf all else fails, practice makes perfect... ask questions, "Jill, are you going to get your degree?" "Pat, how's Tommy" "Oh, I didn't know you were in the worship band" etc...
