Any other anons struggling with speech impediments? I have a severe stutter and I am unable to pronounce 'r' or 'l' properly (I basicawy sound wike this in weal wife, kinda like pic related, if you've ever seen big bang theory). I went to a speech therapist in high school but it didn't help one bit. Making friends is impossible since everybody either makes fun of me or is too impatient to deal with the stuttering. The worst part is that I am relatively good looking (tall, great hair and hairline, decent build), to the point where I sometimes catch girls checking me out, but they always lose interest as soon as I start talking and they hear the speech impediment.
>>84731917very mild, but it comes out more when i'm tired and i can't formulate the words properlyironically, i have a very hard time overall saying the words "particularly" and "clearly"
Lean into it. It adds character
>>84731925I tried that already. It just led to everyone constantly making jokes at my expense. Felt more humiliating than anything.
>>84731932>Everyone is supposedly now more body positive and all that wholesome faggotry>Still get treated like a nigger for anything other than being a fatass or some flavour of faggotI hate doublethinking hypocritical niggercattleStudy Phonetics. Try again with another speech the rapist. It CAN be fixed. We're ALL gonna make it. Or maybe just lean into Ebonics and start saying shit like "samich". No one ever corrects blacks on how they speak for some reason.
>>84732013I left it out but I am a europoor and my native tongue has no real equivalent to ebonics since we have zero black people around. I have considered getting a new speech therapist but all of the free ones that work in government hospitals are godawful and all of the good ones work only in private clinics that cost a metric fuckton. I'll probably go for it once I have enough cash saved, but that'll take a while
>>84732070Why not seek treatment with the free ones that suck ass while you earn enough money to see a proper therapist?
>>84732096Because I spent half a decade going to them and I saw zero improvement. All of them give me the same few exercises and call it a day even though I spent years doing them and they clearly don't fucking work. Doctors in government hospitals overall tend to suck, but these guys are just useless. I could go again I suppose but I feel like it'd be a big waste of time, and I have a busy schedule as is. I'll just tough it out until I can get a proper therapist.
>>84732121At that point you start doing basic research yourself, because these things are easier to solve when you know the major ideas behind the exercises. Blindly doing tongue twisters without understanding what to focus on or how to correct issues is futile indeed. It's really not that complicated and if you're not retarded you can do a better job than a bottom of the barrel professional (and that goes for most fields).
>>84731917reading this made me sadid be your friend, are you good at listening? do you read? what are you into?
>>84731917I think MDMA gave me some speech impediment and slow brain.
>>84731917I have trouble forming sentences and have memory issues with words. I try to refrain from talking
>>84732266I am an excellent listener mostly because I am at the point where I prefer listening over talking. I do read but it is mostly nonfiction. The last thing I read were memoirs of Kimi Raikkonen since I am really into Formula 1. He is literally me fr. The last fiction I read was Catch-22, albeit a longer time ago. I used to write in high school but stopped after starting college.>>84732241I feel kind of stupid now because that thought never really occurred to me. I just always assumed it must be incredibly complex for some reason. I'll start looking into it.
I had a really bad lisp but also have oppositional defiance disorder so I had one therapy session and corrected it myself. Funniest shit ever except that I still experience the lisp if I talk for too long now.
>>84732500you should get back to reading fiction and writing tbdesu, it will enrich your mind.
>>84732639I have been trying to get back to it recently but a lot of my inspiration has died out. The issue is that I had a couple of friends in high school because I was in a dormitory, and having zero friends in a dormitory is impossible; but I've been all alone since graduation and my inspiration really suffered as a consequence.
>>84731917I have a lisp I developed at 13 for no discernable reasonDidn't have one before that
>>84732701thats why you need to read fiction to regain a perspective of wonder towards life
>>84733074Any recommendations? Its been a long while since I read any novels.
>>84732070> I am a europoorHuh. I couldn't manage Ls, and the American public school system provided me with a speech therapist, which resolved my disability in elementary school.
>>84731917I don't have one but due to social anxiety I constantly trip over my words and sound retarded
>>84733132My school couldn't care less. I got decent grades and that was all they cared about. I was openly bullied and they just pretended it didn't happen.>>84733137I'd count that as an impediment. If you struggle to speak properly, that definitely counts in my eyes.
>>84733121Robert Walser - Jakob von GuntenRead it. It will do you good.
