So sometimes I have a problem where I try to speak and I canβt. I stutter, mix my words up, and slur them together. Iβm not sure if I have a speech impediment, or if itβs just a normal thing to go through. Iβve always been told that I talk really fast, sometimes too fast, but I never had a problem with stuttering. Until now, that is. There are some words I avoid completely because I am unable to pronounce them correctly. I want to tell my mum, but sheβll most likely get mad at me. Iβm sure that just me occasionally being unable to pronounce things or say full sentences correctly annoys her greatly. She gets easily annoyed at any speech impediment and even yelled at me once for stuttering when I was talking. I have such a hard time speaking that sometimes I say things that donβt even make sense. I would say things that most people say jokingly, only I say it accidentally. Like, βI need to plant my waters.β Which is funny, of course, I laugh at myself too, but when I say it, Iβm not doing it on purpose. I used to mix front letter up, like saying Backer Crarrel instead of Cracker Barrel that itβs somewhat of a running joke I have and I donβt even do it on purpose. Iβm really trying to stop. Itβs like my mouth doesnβt move right when I try to say βmβ words or βsβ words. If thereβs a word that has βthβ then Iβll say it either as an βfβ or a βvβ. I say things like, βfank you,β βsomefing,β and βferes.β What is going on with me? And how can I potentially get help without my mum getting mad at me. Iβve got somewhat of a distinct Scouse/Yorkshire dialect that could be one of the causesβ¦ I donβt know what to do.
hey itβs okay, my mum has stammering problem too, sheβs considering going to a therapist. but first id suggest you to practice mindful talking. this article might help:

Bro trust me I do had a same problem, people use to suffer a lot but my friends never did a comment on it instead they use to tell me that we canβt understand speak a little slow , based on their feedback I tried in same way now I can speak clearly perfectly and everyone understands me in perfect way
Take everything positive and try to work on it.
