a) Talk slowly
b) Before your speak, inhale a little air with your mouth while touching your tounge to to the top of the mouth
c) If you have a give a speech or a presentation, write down what you will be saying word for word, and read it over and over again till you feel comfortable with the matter. You will do well when you actually do the speech or presentation.
d) Do relaxation exercises each day.
e) Get used to frequent successes in speech and a few ocassional speech failures as well.
f) Try to talk to unknown people pretty often to get comfortable in conversations: in buses, trains, waiting in a line etc.

At 18, you are so young. There is nothing to be ashamed about but everything to gain through taking small steps to improving your life. I understand that when you have been hurt it is hard to make friends and put yourself out there but this is one of those situations where you have to do it if you want to see a positive change in your life. Start off with small steps and then make larger ones. I think you should also go and see your doctor as it seems like you need a lot of support due to what has happened in the past. I am 24 and wish I could be 18 again. Get the help you need and get the life you deserve.

Our daughter was and is painfully shy and very quiet, so much so that people thought either that she was stuck-up or that there was something wrong with her.
She got better when she got a job where she had to interact with the public. Yeah, she put on a phony persona, but behind this mask, she learned that she could talk to people and not embarrass herself constantly.
The workbooks recommended can be very helpful, and so can speech therapy, although some stutters are more nerves that actual speech problems.
It might amuse you to know that our daughter, still pretty shy, has a very handsome, outgoing boyfriend--who stutters.

Take a speech class. This will help you to talk in front of crowds of people. You can overcome stuttering. Just work at it. Tell a joke among your friends and take things from there.
You could also ask more questions about what your friends like the latest movie they've seen music they like and so on.

Try reading a newspaper or a book in front of a mirror. Imitate the way how newscasters talk. Sooner or later the stuttering would be diminished, if not totally wiped out.

hi hon... if you stutter, maybe you can talk with your parents about some speech therapy? is it based on anxiety?
perhaps you could also look up HOW TO COPE WITH SOCIAL ANXIETY, or SOCIAL ANXIETY SELF-HELP, HOW TO START A CONVERSATION.
being quiet, by the way, is quite OK. some of us talk more than others.. it's A-OH-KAY!
there are endless resources on the internet! i wish you all the best! xo

relax little by little open up to 1 at a time-be fearless=May this help on life friendship and fellowship=Night enveloped my eyes (as I say Psalm 23 "Jesus is my shpherd , he will take care of all I need" especially in pains of life)
It has been long since I have felt this gain even from pain
This nightmare anew A destiny to be forged alone Though souls cry out I listen to their call
Yet their voices go unheard by all but Jesus, as I follow a path my own
Although I once walked with others They have since left me to my fate This time has come and gone
My faith has never fallen Life apart from Jesus with its gaping void I see the end
Although far away Growing closer with time's passing Out of reach
I cannot end this present grief soon enough Yet my bonds deny me this
And give me life For one more day to Jesus and tomorrows bright wonderful day!

Thank you so much, for being a Christian and not afraid to tell people, to change from their evil ways, but, I still say, without the power of God, we can not change their hearts-It is the grace of God that leads people to repentance, win some with fear and some with love -the Bible in the book of Jude

Thank you so much for that wonderful comment David, sure thing, i will keep it in mind.

"Measuring life by what others do to you may disappoint you, but measuring life by what you do to others will add more meaning to your life." Always Keep GOD in your heart and in your actions. Be blessed with many blessings! HUgs & Love your way!!! :D
happy day to you and all, Love is seeking the highest good for. Best example when we were enemies against him, Jesus died for our sins and rose to forgive us if we believe. TRue love does exist=yourself=to care for yourself
for another
for God =reverence & "If you love me keep my word" Jesus
in the bible there are different basic love's
agape=God love
eros=romantic love for another in honor
phileo-brotherly/sisterly love
we reap what we have sown. there is a God and there is a thing called marriage for sex and the two that truely love each other enough to respect God and each other. "In marriage the bed is undefiled but all others will be judged." Hebrews 13
youre a princess be your best
We are old enough to understand sin and let Jesus into their heart to be their friend, amen John 3 & Revelation 3:19&20 " I love you and knock on your heart door to come in deliver from sin -even one lie, if you ask forgiveness and let me in to be your friend."
Send this to anyone who you think needs to know that they are loved by someone in their lives. Make someone's day just a little brighter today!
prayin for you too

Try not to take it all so seriously,
for life doesn't last that long.
Forget the sorrows of yesterday
it's time to dance to a new song.
Kiss the days of regret goodbye,
run from sadness many a mile.
Greet each morning as if your last...
and smile.
Praying the best for you, David the sweet pea-others little by little You will be fine to speak with them
