JonnyD Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I thought it would get better for me as I age but apparently it's not. My mind thinks way too fast and deeply when I am in verbal conversation which affects the fluency of my speech and makes me sound like an idiot. I was wondering if anyone else is dealing with this and how you are managing it? I recently came across DAF software for Android so I am looking forward to using that.
dsayers Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Depends on WHY it occurs. In my case, my abusive father tends to cut me off just a few words in, which puts a pressure on me to be quick. Also, he's full of inconsistencies and contradictions, so I have to think quick to try and maintain balance in the moment during those times. Between the two, I can sometimes stutter or otherwise not communicate coherently. Once I realized these things (and that he's a petty tyrant in general), it was easier to be calm when communicating. At least in terms of external expression. I still feel hearth-pounding (literally) anxiety over the fact that if I step over his imaginary lines too far, he can and will threaten me with my home.
