Shyness is a feeling of insecurity that certain people experience while being among others, talking with others, asking favors of others, etc. The initial cause of shyness can vary. Scientists have located some genetic data that supports the hypothesis that shyness is at least partially genetic.

Stuttering or troubling getting speaking

Silentlies25

Does anyone ever find themselves going through whole days talking to people and interacting perfectly fine until a little bit of stress or anxiety pops up and all of a sudden you are stuttering every line or saying everything wrong or mixing up words?
This tends to happen to me at work a lot and I am trying to avoid this so I can come off more professional and not be afraid to find real work in my career field so I can make real money and be successful at what I love and am great at. Anything would help me.

There's a reason they call it "shooting your mouth off" because when you speak is very much like when a marksman fires a weapon. There is a 4-step method for properly aiming a rifle called the B.R.A.S.S. method. It works for speaking too. Breathe, Relax, Aim, Squeeze, Shoot.

I apply this to speaking by breathing and relaxing then looking at the person I'm speaking to, actively listening to them so I can interact with them and not just state my opinion, then making sure I say what I mean and do what I say.

Hope this helps.

that sounds like a good plan
