What to do when you stutter when you are nervous

Some people feel inexplicably nervous when facing particularly large occasions. Nervousness is something that happens to everyone occasionally. When people are nervous, they will have dry mouth, stutter, and always want to go to the toilet. Stuttering when they are nervous will leave a very bad impression on people, so many people feel very confused. So what should we do if we stutter when we are nervous? Let me introduce it to you below.

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.Performance characteristics:

(1) Difficulty

(2) Repeatability (3) Medium resistance

2. Reasons:

(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 be careful to eliminate negative stimuli.

(2) Strengthen speaking training.

Diagnosis of stuttering is based on:

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 becomes tense.

2. More than 2% of the words spoken are 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 disfluency is accompanied by body movements, blinking, lip and jaw tremors, and straining postures.

5. Speaking with 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 context.

These seven points help to distinguish normal disfluency from stuttering, and also help to understand the relationship between disfluency and environmental stress.
