"I've noticed that I lost the ability to pronounce words like "asked" and other words (that I can't think off the top of my head). I kind of developed a stutter and I sometimes can't find the right word to say anymore or I can't find synonyms of a word in normal conversation. Is it possible to develop these speech problems? I mean I'm kind of insecure about what I say because I feel like I sound stupid saying it, but it gets kind of annoying because I look stupid trying to think of the right thing to say or I think about it, but it comes out in a stutter. How do I fix this? I want to be secure with myself and speak properly. Do tongue twisters help diction? What about my stutter and insecurity? Do I have to brush up on vocabulary?" - I am having the exact same problems as the yahoo user i quoted. Any suggestions?

A stutter is a result of the brain visualizing the word but the mouth not being able formulate it. When some people are nervous, IE trying to make a good impression, or worried. or tried they are more likely to stutter. from your description part of your problem is your low self-esteem. So i think you should talk to a professional or at least a school guidance councilor to help you. as most things we can not fix on our own. PS a famous person I can not remember who talks with an accent to bypass the section of his brain which encourages him to stutter.

Have your doctor give you a referral for a speech therapist, who will test you to evaluate the problem. Thats really your best bet.
