In our lives, many people have very poor psychological quality. When they face some things, they may have some psychological and language barriers, and then they will stutter.

So what should you do if you stutter when you are nervous?

Stuttering is not a simple language disorder, it is a complex physiological and psychological functional disorder that can be improved through hard work.

(1) Relieve the tension when speaking and pay attention to eliminating negative stimuli.

(2) Strengthen speech training.

(3) Don’t think too much before speaking, don’t give yourself any psychological hints, and slow down your speech appropriately to make your expression natural.

Usually strengthen the control of your speaking speed, make yourself speak as slowly as possible, and then train yourself to speak at this speed in any situation, so that you will not be nervous and stutter when talking to others. In addition, you should often show yourself and improve your self-confidence. Of course, practicing eloquence is also helpful.

Stuttering, commonly known as stammering, refers to unfluent, blocked and repetitive speech. From a physiological point of view, it is mainly caused by tension and spasm of the respiratory muscles, laryngeal muscles and other organs related to pronunciation.

1. Manifestation characteristics: (1) Difficult to onset (2) Repetitive (3) Moderate resistance

2. Causes: (1) Physiological reasons. Some people believe that stuttering is related to genetics or some kind of brain dysfunction. (2) Psychological reasons. Such as mental tension, anxiety, and stress.

Psychological factors are the main cause of stuttering. (3) The entire language nerve function is impaired. That is, there is a disorder in the nervous system that is closely related to pronunciation, language comprehension and even reading and writing. (4) Physiological diseases. Children may also be prone to stuttering if they have brain infections, head injuries, or infectious diseases such as whooping cough, measles, influenza, and scarlet fever. (5) Imitation and suggestion.

3. Correction and prevention: (1) Relieve tension when speaking and pay attention to eliminating negative stimuli.

(2) Strengthen speaking training. Diagnostic basis for stuttering: 1. More than 2% of the words spoken have "part of the word" repeated, and each time it is repeated two or more times, the repetition rate increases and light vowels replace vowels in the words and the pronunciation is tense. 2. More than 2% of the words spoken were prolonged for more than 1 second. The abrupt termination prolongs and increases pitch and loudness. 3. Involuntary pauses or hesitations in speech for more than 2 seconds.

4. Speech disfluencies are accompanied by body movements, eye blinking, lip and jaw tremors, and straining postures.

5. Speech is accompanied by emotional reactions and avoidant behavior.

6. Using words as an excuse for poor grades.

7. The frequency and severity of speech disfluencies vary depending on the speaking situation. These seven points help to distinguish normal disfluency from stuttering, and also help to understand the relationship between disfluency and environmental stress.
