    When I was prepubescent, my frenum was attached to the tip of my tongue making pronunciation difficult. When I began french kissing, my teeth wore the frenum back freeing the tip of my tongue and thereby solving the problem.
    I was able to say things I never could before.

    I think it could be at least partly that for me as well. I've always been very withdrawn and shy, and never speak unless I'm spoken to. I've always been a loner too, and never had anything resembling a social life, so I guess it's only natural that on the rare ocassions when I do have to speak to someone, I find it very difficult to do.

    I can also get a bit long winded on these forums, which I think is largely to do with the fact that I have nobody to vent to in my offline life.

    When I get really excited about something, I get really animated and I tend to stutter a little, but it's just because my brain is thinking faster than my mouth can move.

    This thread reminds me of a girl I work with that has a really cute lisp.

    I realized over the years speech has alot to do with confidence. I used to have no confidence so i mumbled...

    I have a problem with volume. Apparently I have a very soft voice (I think people just don't listen hard enough)...I feel like I'm yelling if I speak any louder though...so I try to only talk if I really have something to say, just in case I have to repeat myself if they don't hear me the first time.

    I'm Not Sure If It Would Be Classed As An Impediment,

    But I Frequently Speak With One Or More Feet In My Mouth...[​IMG].

    Been Afflicted With It Since Birth...[​IMG].



    Cheers Glen.

    I don't have a speech impediment but now a days I often go blank in the middle of a sentence because the next word is just gone from my mind. I am also soft spoken so maybe nobody is listening anyway.

    The Real Problem I Have Had All My Life, Is Remembering Peoples Names...:(.

    Unless I Write It Down, 10 Seconds Later, I Have No Idea What Your

    Name Was...:(.

    No Problem Remembering Any Other Details, Just Names...:confused:.



    Cheers Glen.

    When I am introduced to people I instantly forget their names. It takes me meeting them a few times before I retain the name.

    I am sorry to the original poster for taking this off topic but I find it interesting when meeting people out walking my dog, we usually exchange the dog's names but can go years without knowing the person's name..... BTW I do usually remember the dog's names for the next meeting. Must be because I like animals better than I like most people.

    Ha, I'm really bad about that. My neighbor and I hung out several times before I knew her name...it was really awkward trying to find out what she was called without coming right out and asking her.
