I have never had a problem with studdering. ( but then that's me. Everyone is different) I don't remember everything. I remember people by sight but forget names. I can remember my mother saying to me " remember when..." I'd look at her and say " no I don't". She would get frustrated because I didn't remember.

For some of us it can be a struggle on our communication " stuttering is one of them. Ever since I started talk when I was an adolescent ( 3 or4yrs all the way into my adulthood ) , I had trouble getting my words out . It would be clear in my head what I want to say , but when i would try to say it I would try saying it and start stuttering. Today I still stutter a little , but not as bad as it was when I was younger.

Try to think what you want to say over a few times in your head , before mentioning what you want to say. Even if you’re going to leave a Voice Mail to someone , make sure you think of what want to say before leaving a message. Then you can have a clear voice response the the voice Mail .

Everyone is different. With me I have migraines and It takes me a while to come back to being myself. Meaning Im sluggish and tired and want to be left alone.

I just try to slow down and speak my words very carefully. It may sound weird but it works for me. Sometimes I just ramble and no one can understand me and that frustrates me and that’s not good.
