Mumbling when nervous

[recluse]

I fucking hate it when I am nervous....I can't speak! I start mumbling and I sound stupid. Usually I speak clearly when I am relaxed.

 

[dottie]

yep! me, too. then people ask me to repeat myself and i get all frustrated.

 

[arjuna]

Yes, that is terrible. Sometimes you realize that 80% of what you say can't be understood. It is frustating for you but I suppose it is also frustrating for your interlocutor. I hate it. I suppose with practice you get less nervous around people and gradually start mumbling less. I usually speak too low and mix sounds up. Sometimes, it just sounds like random sounds with no meaning.

Yes, me too. This is hell in a speech.
