What Causes Stuttering And Forgetting Words While Talking?

Hi I was wondering why is it that I can t formulate sentences properly when I speak. I can t fluently say more then 4 words together without stuttering or pausing in between and even forgetting the most easy words or names of things as I speak. I get nervous and then start speaking very fast without making much sense. :( I have trouble finishing sentences with a statement I don t know how to end a conversation even on the phone . So all the stammering and feeling stupid as I speak is it a common thing or is it a disorder. I m worried bc I want to peruse acting role career but I can t even speak right more then a min without just feeling dumb n pausing in between middle of a sentence . Also my conversations are repetitive , boring bland with no sense of humor or enthusiasm even if excited I can t express it as if I m trapped within my own body .. Help ..

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I suggest you to tape your conversation when you talk to your friend, when you give a speech or any other occasion you can do so. You may not find problems as given by you.

You are nervous and anxious about your speech which makes you more and more nervous. Such nervousness makes you to forget so many syllables or words and can play tricks. Understand the tricks and change your approach. Speak slow, think slow. you shall succeed.
