Can you develope

a Stutter? or a stammer?

yeah as far as im aware you can!!

yes. if you do too many drugs.

exactly the answer i did'nt want......

why moderation is the key

i dunno, i was just taking the piss, im sure if you do it to excess like shaun ryder or bez, then yeah, you can, but i dont think even the highest of cainers on here do that much!

verine couldnt speak on friday lunchtime

just when i've been talking to people at work (new people) i have been finding it hard to get my words out and i stutter'd once and it frighten'd me a bit...

look at ozzie

i do that, i think its coz im stoned though

it has'nt happend for a bit though might of just been a heavy come down... never mind...

do you ever, when on a comedown think that every1 is looking at you? i know its a bit off the subject, but i always feel like this the day after a session!!

PARA-NOIA!

I have trouble getting words out at times... only noticed it recently too... not too fussed cos drugs arent gonna be a part of my life forever!

I get a bad stutter every so often.

think its coz im shy

Your not shy

if i get flustered i stutter a bit!!

How does a stammer develop?

Too many demands, which the child is not mature enough to meet, can increase dysfluency which can develop into stammering, especially if the child is very sensitive to failure. There are also things that a child may think and do that can make the problem worse, for example:

A belief or feeling that speaking dysfluently is shameful or wrong.

Concentration on the detailed mechanics of speaking may lead to self-consciousness and more mistakes.

Trying harder to speak fluently may turn relaxed repetitions into tense stoppages as the child tries to force the word out.

In trying to understand stammering certain words, people or situations may be blamed. Avoidance of these to reduce stammering may lead to constant scanning ahead and changing of words and so to less and less confidence in speaking abilities.

The experience of a loss of control while speaking can be humiliating. As a society we think badly of people who are unable to control their body and its functions.

A feeling that they are seriously different from others may make children feel isolated and lonely.

What sort of speaking situations can lead to more dysfluency?

Speaking to adults who talk very quickly.

Speaking while having to look high up to see the listener's face.

Speaking when you think you will be interrupted.

Speaking to someone who is not really listening.

Speaking when you fear the consequences of what you say.

Speaking when you do not want to or when you have nothing to say.

Speaking when very tired, upset, or feeling unwell.

Speaking in a rush when you have a lot to say or a complex idea to express.
