  • Speech is fine. You suffer from extreme annotation disorder

  • your cluttering the screen with annotations so ya i guess that can be considered cluttered speech lololol bimbo

  • you have an annotation addiction not a speech disorder you bimbo lol this is some very creative attention whoring

  • WHAT YOU HAVE IS CANCER NOT CLUTTERING

  • Your not cluttering... !!!

  • what you have is called Hypochondriasis...

  • You sound perfectly normal to me.

  • she's cute, i want to have sex with her

  • I am a speech therapy grad student, and I definitely do not think that you have a speech problem. However, I notice this was two years ago, so I hope you've figured that out for yourself by now.

  • Girlie, I really think that your speech is fine. It seems to me, though I'm not a doctor, that you're hyper-aware of your own speech and hypercritical of yourself. Have you ever looked into the possibility that you have something like obsessive-compulsive disorder? I ask because I have this disorder and I've also struggled with hyper-awareness of my littlest actions or words and their imperfections. By the way, I understood virtually everything that you said.

  • Well if a person says they have a problem, then they have a problem. She should try to get diagnosed by a professional. perferably more than one cause people, even professionals, make mistakes.

  • I love you! Even though I don't know you I really do! You are a good human being and there is nothing wrong with you other than the fact that you're too critical of yourself

  • You are nuts. You don't not a speech problem, you have a self-esteem issue or want or attention or something.

  • Greetings,

    You remind me of myself in some ways. My suspicion is that you're highly self-critical and have a cognitive distortion about your ability to communicate. There is something to be said about the vast number of posters who agree that your speech is w/in the normal range. What I find worrisome is that you needlessly pathologize yourself, expecting God-like perfection. Perhaps your real struggle is learning to accept yourself as a flawed, imperfect human being-just like the rest of us.

  • um um i say um wtf women thats not a speech disorder !

  • just stop caring about yourself.

  • I have ADD kinda similar speach PATTERNS, but the loss of focus and inability stream and transition thoughts is what causes the patterns,

    it also comes with a great ability to learn things that interest you (hyper-focus)

    but then again the deficit lies in everything else.

    so... basically i'm the most intelligent

    Dumbass you can meet.

    this is getting too long

    i had another point bu i opened another video in the other tab.

    your cute. ...yeah that's what it was :)

  • Obama says "umm like" many times yet he's considered a good speaker. You don't have a problem. Its all in your head.

  • I think its ADD...

  • You're picking apart everything. No one talks like a computer, you've GOT TO have ups and downs, and slow and fast, and ums and ahhs ---IT'S CALLED EXPRESSION -- Stop listening to yourself so much; try and just let it flow - you don't sound cluttered or faulted at all.

  • @berttheman1

    Seriously. I thought everyone talked like this :/

  • I talk like this all the time, who gives a shit??? honestly????? when you see someones face turn into a skeleton then make a video about that..

  • sounds like he gets the need for attention from his mother?

  • You don't have cluttering. I'm a speech path student, and I hear no abnormal disfluencies. Everyone slows and speeds up their speech like you, and everyone uses "um" and "like" and other filler words.

  • Your speech is completely normal.

  • ...You a crack head!

  • @Fifthmuskateer right she definetly do look like a fiend pills most likley

  • I don't see cluttering speech disorder, I see cluttering annotation disorder.

  • Its difficult to prove cluttering. I would be like asking a schizophrenic to prove they where hallucinating by doing it right that moment. So all though you may not here her clutter in this video it may occur for her in real life when she isn't recording herself.

  • I believe I have trouble with cluttered speech as well. I have been told that I am an extremely fast talker and it difficult for others to process what I am saying while in my own mind I hear things at an average pace. I find it difficult to consciously slow myself down all the time because it feels like i am talking too slow or like someone reading something at a grade 1 level. I would be ridiculed by friends and family especially my dad and older brother. Who thinks something I can just undo.

  • @LunaticReason They would tell me to quit mumbling but I felt I wasn't. I sounded out my words but I sometimes leave nopausesSomyspeechwouldcomeout­likethisandpeoplecouldntunders­tandwhatIwassayng

    I don't want to say I want to cry but I often feel attacked or defensive about it. Unlike stuttering I feel people are less sympathetic. No one would say hey speak up stop stuttering, nowadays people are aware of it as a language disorder. I don't detect a problems in your speech but I know it..

  • @LunaticReason comes and goes. I myself don't clutter all the time but sometimes it would occur at the worst times. Anyways just thought i'd share

  • I notice absolutely nothing wrong with your speech, then again im very drumk right now.

  • Hi there, I appreciate that you may feel that you feel that you may have some issues with your speech, but you do not have stuttering or any major problems with your speech at all....Do you suffer with anxiety perhaps, as that can cause people to have issues with slight stuttering or problems getting your words out or talking fast?

  • You speak normally. Now that you've researched all this cluttering speech disorder, you're thinking about it so much you're actually trying to fucking do it. fuck you.

  • I have the same problem you do so wanna tell you your not alone. I a lot of times talk way to fast and get lost for words . I was talking with a church elder they thought that I was holding back to think of the right thangs to say rather then them hearing me trip all over myself they for what reason like hearing me stutter . That is messed up if you ask me

  • you like ummm don't have a speech like ummmm problem you are just like ummm dumb.

    i pray for your son..i'm sure he has NO chance in life.

    like ummmm i want my kid to get like ummmm pills so like ummmm my new like ummmm boyfriend can get like ummmm really high and hit me.

  • yeah, you have an accent. It's normal. In St. Louis, people cut the ends off words and speak rapidly. That's how i talk. People in the south have their own accent.

  • not only do you think you have problems(you dont) you also think your son has problems and said he needs meds....wow

  • Are you sure you're not looking for problems where there aren't any? You sound perfectly normal to me.

  • @zoeyjusko Ask a shrink whether you have a problem. And dont expect him to cntain himself from operating on your purse to extract some big foreign objects.

  • lol at 1:40. I hope someday to take the ultimate shit. I assume it will take a lifetime of practice. 

  • I enjoyed this post and appreciated how much time was put into it. -bill

  • I work with special children. Hadn't come across this idea of cluttering speech before. It does make sense. The purpose of such ideas is always that they prove useful. People might then exhibit characteristics to various degreess.

    The reasons why people do significant cluttering when they speak, would then be the thing of interest.

    I can see that viewing your speaking in terms of its degree of cluttering, night allow someone to view themselves in a way they found useful.

    Liked the annotations.

  • You don't seem to have a speech problem, but I'm not an expert. Seems like you're introverted and over-analyzing yourself. 2:20 made the most impression on me.

  • You speek fine my friend.

  • As a child I would clutter my speech frequently (and I probably still do occasionally) it was unintelligible and combined with a speech sound disorder and auditory processing difficulties. At no point during your video do I hear any true "cluttering". That doesn't mean you do not clutter but rather that you do not appear to in this video. I have mild residual deficits despite years of speech therapy and I wish my voice sounded like yours!

  • I am a speech-language pathologist and I am pretty sure that you don't have a cluttering disorder. If you are really worried about your speech, I suggest you contact a speech-language pathologist for a consultation.

  • i do not believe she is a clutterer. i have worked with clutterers and it is very obvious that fluency is greatly affected. that is not true of her speech. she is intelligible throughout this video.

  • Idiots. Did you not listen to her at the start of the video. When being filmed she slows down her speech to make it more understandable. Most of this is done sub-consciously as well as consciously because she will no doubt watch the video afterwards. As a clutterer myself I can definitely see the same examples of speech disorders as me. The stopping and starting of sentences, losing track of what she was saying, um/uhing, searching for words/replacing words etc. This is a real disorder trust me

  • You use many fillers, ie 'like,erm,err' because you are female. I'm not sexist - many studies into language show that this is how females talk. Hesitations in speech are just an indication of a longer thought process between what you are thinking to say and when you actually say. This is perfectly normal. Many people use fillers and hesitation in their speech just because thats part of your personality. Cluttering is a bit of taboo subject - lots of linguistics don't believe it's real.

  • HOLY FUCKING ANNOTATIONS BATMAN. Jesus, just stop.

    You do not have a speech impediment. All those annotations are so damn ridiculous, just like your claim to have a speech impediment. It must of taken you HOURS to post this. I have never seen such a ridiculous amount of annotations in one video. I can't even read half of them they just pop in and out so fast.

    Delete this video. NOW. You are giving people with real speech impediments false information.

  • @Atrac89 2 words douche bag. If you looked up this video and talk shit you have issues.

  • @Atrac89 Cluttered speech is not a "speech impediment" you fuckin idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • you sill may be a little young to have a proper diagnosis. most people are not diagnosed until they are older (late 20's or 30's)

    you don't really seem to speak fast enough to be a clutterer. clutterers sometimes look like tweekers b/c they talk so fast they appear to be on speed LOL. you appear to just be unsure of yourself which has nothing to do with cluttering. Perhaps it is more self esteem?

  • talk on diffrent recordings that i didn't know were takin, plus im pretty self aware of my voice because it's been a big insecurity for a long time because i have a past of being bullied. It gets worse when i think faster then i talk. I have learnt to slow down which i can't always do, and talk and pronounce words carefuly. Ive never takin any speech classes or anything, these are just some coping methods I use. You actualy sound very normal to me so don't beat your self up. Hope i could help.

  • Don't judge your self as hard as you do. I think it's pressuring your self into what your doing. The fact that your shy and timid may also play apart in your "disorder" Im 17 and a male and when im under pressure, or when I really try to think how i speek i studder very bad, "clutter" like you do and I get a whole random bunch of words in my mind that sometimes come out in reverse order. When im not under pressure i speek totaly normal. I know this because i have heard myself (see next comment)

  • You are a beautiful human being and i am sorry you were so horribly abused in this lifetime. I love you.

    please look up curtis duncan and EFT emotional freedom technique :)

  • I was diagnosed w/ speech impediment when I was a child and had speech therapy growing up ttill high school. I will say speech therapy didnt much for me growing up.

  • Who the hell diagnosed you, Dr. Google?

    PRO TIP: If you need annotations to point out a speech impediment, you probably don't have a speech impediment.

  • You remind me of me, where did you go to get diagnosed?

  • I am an SLP and you don't sound like a clutterer to me.

  • You don't seem to have cluttering, unless you thoroughly prepared for this video. That is the only way for me to escape cluttering by preparing for it. If not, I'll start cluttering such as talking about another point in midst of one and fragmented sentences, or using wrong words (adverbs, pronouns, etc) within a sentence.

  • Wow. I never met someone who pretty much mirrored me..

  • I don't really think you have a disorder. Maybe "cluttering" is just part of our personalities. I think it would be kinda weird if everyone had perfect speech and I don't think using um is a bad thing.

  • I think you're way to harsh on yourself, and if you ahve a "disorder" then I think the rest of the world does too, haha!

    Your mic has a problem, not you, haha!

  • if you don't notice the cluttering then is it really a disorder? i don't hear a thing wrong with your speech. if a doctor offers you drugs don't take them. there's not a thing wrong here.

  • I am an SLP and I am not convinced you are a clutterer. Unless you slowing your rate down for the tape, your rate is normal.....everyone trips over words......

  • I think you're just being overly critical on yourself. Everyone pauses, everyone says um a lot, everyone occasionally strings words together, everyone gets words mixed up, that's just how the brain tends to process things. Unless you want to be an actress or plan on doing a lot of public speaking then I wouldn't worry at all. If you uploaded this video and didn't say anything about having a speaking disorder, I never would have noticed anything.

  • Good grief, show a little respect for people who do actually have speech disorders. Your speech is completely normal, the only thing that's not normal about you is that you go on the internet and self-diagnose and make a video about your imagined condition.. You wouldn't know what it's like to have people look at you like you're mentally challenged, or to not be able to get a good job, to never have a date, to be bullied, to have no self esteem. You wouldn't b/c you dont have a speech disorder.

  • Consider: self-diagnosis might be incorrect. Time you spent on doing multiple videso could have been spent washing/styling hair, practicing putting thoughts in notes before doing a video, practicing in front of mirror, leaving hands off face and hair, making eye-contact. and for heaven's sake, leave out the info on about the previous videos + your son. Kids need a mother who is less self-centered, instead focused on her most important job as their first and best educator. Study to help them!

  • I clutter when I read aloud.... I hate it when the teacher calls on me to read so I say "I can't read."

  • @sims2ultralover5 I totally understand what you mean about reading aloud in class. I went though the same thing.

  • THis sounds a lot like me, but I'm ADHD and I don't clutter. My problem is my thoughts are disorganized, and that makes my speech disorganized. When I do have something to say I rush it out, making my words slur together. Sometimes, in the middle of a sentence I'll go off on a tangent or lose track of where the sentence was going, which causes me to add nonsensical bits at the end so that sentence has an end. The only thing not explained by my adhd is my mouth's inability to say what I want

  • @00Petulia00

    I have the same issue.

    The psychiatrists tried to say that it was manic,psychotic type of speech. I have a history of Dyslexia,Dyspraxia,ADHD. I have a history of special education including speech therapy. I used to have unintelligible speech in connection to the language issues of my Dyslexia and coordination issues of my Dyspraxia. I would say that I do have cluttering speech. Cluttering and what you described is not uncommon in people with Dyslexia and Dypraxia,

  • Omg it's like I was watching myself talk. I have the same disorders, pauses, struggles as you do. The ums are normal I guess because you're already nervous and giving a long speech.

    It's like you have everything you want to say in your mind ready to be said but then when you actually convert that thought into words, it comes out all fuzzy and not the way you wanted it to come out. I sometimes even stutter when the idea in my head is pumping so fast and when I try to say it right after I babble.

  • Winston Churchill was a clutterer! - If its good enough for him, is good enough for me!

  • Seems more like run of the mill awkwardness than anything. Pausing during speech, gathering thoughts while talking, "ummms", tangents are all very normal...that's common knowledge, I don't see where the problem lies with you. Like someone else said, if you have to point out these "speech errors", it's not a problem. No one would ever notice.

  • I sometimes clutter.

  • Whoops, submitted that too soon. But if I were to give a speech, or talk to someone important, or on front of a camera. You would never even know you can barely understand me half the time. Just because you can't pick it up here, doesn't mean she doesn't have it.

  • You guys are saying that she doesn't have cluttering. Maybe it's because she's in front of a camera. I've never been diagnosed with cluttering, but I'm 99% sure I have it. Most people, even that are close to me, can't understand me half the time. Almost everything I say I have to repeat. You can notice it sometimes in my typing as well.

  • I read articles about people with speech disorders. Some problems that cause it are when your teeth are misaligned, or after you have some kind of accident to you're body.

    My teeth are a little screwed up but I never noticed myself stuttering. But after I had an accident and busted my knee, everyone I knew started to notice that I stuttered a lot, and had trouble sparking conversations. It sucks. :\

  • I would like to say as someone that actually has been diagnosed by many speech pathologists with cluttering. You do not have cluttering. Cluttering in the simplest terms is when your brain runs faster than what you can possible spit out of your mouth. I have actually have had to take speech lessons about how to slow down my speech, so people can actually understand me. I also have studied a good deal of psychology. If I may, my thoughts are you are too self conscious. (Hints the face touching.)

  • I think I might have a similar problem, having stumbled upon the disorder through wikipedia, probably just as you have. Your speech seems understandable - like that of an American teenager so I wouldn't worry about it. Regardless you've also got a cute face!

  • There's nothing wrong with you.

  • Lay off the weed...

  • everybody saids uhh and umm before starting a new sentence so dont worry about it, its not even noticeable

  • Join Toastmasters! I have seen people ten times worse problem than this are helped immensely.

  • As a speech pathology student, I would say you only have some mild disfluencies. The average person has single or 2 word repetitions in their speech and we all show disfluent behaviors. You have an adequate speech rate in this video and clear articulation. Severe cluttering is superfast and slurred with no pausing in between words. If you're in doubt, consult your local speech-language pathologist, or even a speech-language pathology student at a university close to you.

  • @loriwong And as a speech pathologist, I would have to agree. mild disfluencies-which we all exhibit. I would definitely consult a SLP

  • I have the same problem ma'am! :)

  • This is really interesting. I just learned of cluttering today. I felt like I could identify with it. I definitely start a sentence and then start a new one. I'm not denying that you might have a disorder, but I thought your speech was fine. You don't sound stupid, and I could definitely understand everything.

  • I'm like that, but it's not really bad, there'll be people out there who clutter really badly, some who only have, say, a 'mild case'. But people who say that 'this isn't a disorder' and, 'that you sound perfectly normal' it's because your mind automatically changes things in your head, you do it when your reading too, some people's clutter you don't notice as much, it can be hard to notice, anyway...peace out! :P

  • Well before watching this video i never knew that this is a disability atleast never knew that i also suffer that disability. mmm i am not a native English speaking but you know English is now universal language and aannm has become eventually "minglish". But in Urdu (my native language) i do same things and use my body gestures to cover it. Actually if cluttering is any disability i think its sufferers are those who try to use most accurate word more appropriate words.

  • I too was searching for 'stuttering' then found this video. I'm still not sure what cluttering is. But, in my case, more than a stutter, I get stuck on words that start with H, other than that, what I also do might be cluttering. My mind is always way ahead of where my mouth is. If I explain something to someone, I am anticipating their answer/reaction and jumping ahead and addressing the anticipated answer/reaction before finishing the original explanation. Also saying the same thing over.

  • I donno if what I have is cluttering, but I sure have a hell of a hard time speaking. When I'm trying to tell a story or explain something, I will say what I have to say out of order, then when trying to correct my mistakes I end up jumbling words together making some unrecognizable words. So overall I talk painfully slow, make no sense for half the time, and make new words.

    Anyone wants to talk about this, share tips or something we should talk. It'd be nice to talk to someone who understands

  • I Like you're piercing. :')

  • Well you have a lot of interjections, but if you clutter, you don't clutter very severely (I don't hear you clutter at all to be honest). How's the writing going? Can you write well? Have you read literature about cluttering? I don't think you really understand what real cluttering is. Anyway, don't worry about it too much, you sound ok to me.

  • I understood what you were talking about. Probably because i clutter the words too. And its annoying whenever i catch myself cluttering. And emberacing when people make a wierd face when they dont understand.

  • your speech is totally fine, your lucky! :)

  • Honestly you just sound like an average person speaking. Most people say "uhm" an excessive number of times when giving some type of speech or monologue. Perhaps you feel you struggle internally more than others though, which might very well be the case but I doubt this if you have only recently noticed.

  • wow, your pretty hot. for a retard.

  • @liberalsaresuperior Troll alert! Troll alert!

  • Hello I watched your video and I do thinking you have some cluttering characteristics but à lot more information is needed to be diagnosed as cluttering I hope you read all THE information in THE website of THE international cluttering organisation THE ICA gas made à Dvd with explanation and examples of cluttering If you want advise go to à speech therapist interessted in fluemcy Disorders and hè Will be able to do à full cluttering assesment for you

    I wish you à lot of succes

  • yeah wow clutter and stutter is 2 different things, its not complete but i tend to clutter and stutter, a bad combination, lol

  • I clutter alot and sometimes i dont be knowing it but alot people said that i sound normal but a few people said that i sound weird. I wanna thank you alot for making this video it shows me that im not alone THANK U!!!!

  • This girl is not cluttering, and this is actually insulting that you self-diagnose yourself as a clutterer when you have not visited a SLP. People who clutter can barely be understood and I can very clearly understand this video. I am offended.

  • ...attention whore?

  • @TR3Y4LI4E So do I

  • i don't have a cluttering disorder but i do have digeorge Syndrome and when i talk the air escapes through my nose and i get bullied at school not alot but I Do

  • I don't see anything wrong really. Anyways, I am a clutterer as well and based off the comments here, I feel relieve that I am not alone. I know how it is and it does get frustating when people start judging.

  • I have a cluttering problem as well.

  • you seem completely normal to me...i think everyone stutters to a certain extent, and you don't seem to exceed the normal extent...

  • dude... you speak normally. i see nothing wrong. everyone says um/like/uh.

  • be thankful that you can speak legibly and that you dont have any debilitating problems

  • Less Ummms please

  • This is not cluttering! You must hear real people who suffer from cluttering to say that you have "cluttering speech"!!!!

  • you talk just fine- really normal...do you really think you have a prob?? I take my girl to a speech path./feeding specialist and I don't think you have been evaluated. I can't believe you are counting ums and likes- what?? I thought this was a clutter video- lol!

  • I kind of sound like you all the time, so it seems very normal to me. A friend of mine's a clutterer and he'll just suddenly speak, very fast, mumbling, stuttering, and, well, everything you and I do. :)

    I agree it may be that you're not too much of a clutterer, or you were just so focused it changed your normal pace. Thanks for the upload!

  • forget the speech yer cute ^^

  • I like the way you talk

  • Has your speech been evaluated by a qualified Speech-Language Pathologist that is licensed in the area you live? It sounds like you have not.

    Many times when we read about a disorder, especially when we are first learning about it, we say, Oh! that's me! I do that!

    And it is usually true for everyone. We all do quirky things, but we don't all have disorders. Only a qualified professional can diagnose. It is their job to decide whether a behavior is within normal limits or is disordered.

  • What is she talking about??? She's fine! This is ridiculous. EVERYONE talks like this........

  • this bitch is stupid and really thinks she has a speech disorder. blah blah blah you must really wan t some attention lol

  • did you self diagnose? because i dont hear a thing wrong with your speech, you speak like all the other teen girls in the USA... my daughter says the same things you do....if a doctor told you that you have this disorder, you wasted your money honey.....not a thing wrong except immaturity. being born with a true speech disorder, i know what it is like, if you have to point out that this even exists in your speech then its probably not a REAL problem.....

  • is it hard to write dose it affect your writen or can you get your point across by writen just not talking?

  • Two camels in a TINY CAR!!! but you sound fine to me

  • YAY! i dnt just stutter i clutter to =P lol its all good tho babe ur fine its not bad belive in urself and ppl wont even notice..lol and honestly i didnt no wat u were talkng bout till like the umm #7 tab came up =P

  • wow i think i have this!!

  • umm, i think you're just being over analytical of your own speaking...if we need to read your annotations to catch the cluttering or otherwise we would hear nothing unusual....then its not a disorder

  • youre being too hard on yourself... im way worse

  • @almasheart a kid at my school has fragile x and both his parents clutter.

    and also i stammer so i know what you are going through

  • i learnt sighn language to talk to ppl who are deaf because of my stutter, its nice to say what you want without gettig stuck all the time :)

  • Oh and beside physical features you have ....shyness is another symptom

  • Think about getting tested for fragile x syndrome. Female carriers do tend to clutter and you appear to have some physical features. I am a carrier and also clutter.

  • You sound just fine to me!

  • You sound fine! I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't point it out with annotations.

  • lol you definitely do not clutter. i clutter really bad, sometimes i talk and combine words, i talk really fast and my words just fuse... i think your just being a hypochodriac

  • Absolutely not a clutterer. sorry. 

  • thats not cluttering, you just want attention take speech class -_- dumb whore

  • I have a cluttering problem, too. But mine is worse than yours. But I hate it. At school teachers talk slow to me like I'm mental or something, and it sucks.

  • You speak fine. I don't know if this happens to you, but for me, If I speak in front of a camera, I end up speaking either too fast or I can't seem to find the "right" words to add into my sentence. Just an observation.

  • Heya I am interested as I don't know if I have cluttering but I have mixed-receptive expressive disorder because I say uhhhhh ummmmm a lot...because when I go uhhhh I usually take it out of my videos but I know I usually pause like how you are doing in your vids and sometimes as you said in your description I do go off in different directions...what you think?

    Mirza!

  • Judging by the annotations you made I think you are being overly critical about your own speech :-)

    I feel that you would have a lot less 'uhh' events if you didn't critique your speach as you are saying it, I used to do the same thing in that respect.

    Take care,

    Jay

  • your pitch was fine, your rate was average.your pauses were not inapprpriate. you are lookn into it WAY too much. take this from a future Speech Language Pathologist who is CURRENTLY in a Fluency class!!...and DONT go to Wikipedia for info on Cluttering! If you want, look up my professor Dr. Vanryckeghem on YouTube as she talks about fluency disorders. Se is one of the leading researchers along with her husband.

  • all you have is disorganized thoght process, where you aren't planning your thoughts before you say them, or focusing on what you are saying. then it comes out disorganized. it is NOT cluttering! And please DONT analyze your speech that way. we all have normal dysfluencies.

  • You are not a Clutterer. You are a person with normal dysfluencies. we all have them. We were all able to understand your speech, despite the fillers (Umm, uhh, like). When a person clutters, their rate of speech increases , in spurts. words get jumbled together, syllables get knocked off the end or beginning of a word.

  • Nice self diagnoses. You don't sound remotely like a clutterer. You are disturbingly neurotic though.

  • I speak like you. You do sound ok but actually I find speaking like you is a problem for me for professional and intellectual reasons. I can't succeed at a job interview. I can't have interesting discussions. I'm embarrassed when I talk to people and once I've seen that lack of comprehension in someone's face I avoid them. This isn't a competition. It's always possible to find people in better or worse situations but we all have to try to get the most out of our own lives. Thanks for this

  • lol what i hate more than my own speech disorder, is people who pretend to have to a speech disorder...

    lmao.. ur speech is fine... i cudnt' say half that.. srsly pisses me off.

    Ur not fkn cluttering.. ur fkn stuttering.. to a minor/minute scale... 90% have it.. lmao..

  • I have cluttering as well, there are some books on the subject, its also genetic so your son might have be a clutterer aswell, clutterers are also hyper active. i did not notice that i had cluttering and got frustrated when no one seem to understand me.

  • yeah, i have to agree with everyone who thinks you speak fine. i think all your um's and uhh's sound normal, and we're actually able to understand the point you're trying to convey.

    a clutterer, i would think, would be so disorganized when speaking that by the end of a 5-minute video we'd all be sitting here and wondering, "what the hell was she talking about?"

  • I actually thougt we all had the "uhm / ehh/something else" in our speech.

  • You're definitely not cluttering, at least not very strongly. When I speak, I'll out of nowhere combine words together, and the speed and tone change sharply. At times it's unintelligible. The best way to describe cluttering is to imagine yourself thinking about a particular incident in your past and analyzing it. Sometimes your thoughts will blur together because there's so many things in your mind at once and the pace is inconsistent all around. I'll make a vid one of these days.

  • @stuartseupaul- let me know when u make a vid and if your speach is more fluent when youre recording. i do have many loosely related thoughts when i'm talking about something and it trips up all aspects of my speech. when i'm recording i'm focusing 500% so the mixed thoughts occur less, but when i do that it gets me all...i dont know how to explain it but i cant talk for long periods of time concentrating like that.

  • i have exactly the same problem as you, i just cant talk fluently and to put it this way, when i was looking at this vid it was as if i was looking at myself talk. i specially do that in presentations, sometimes i start cluttering or stuttering and sometimes blank out or repeat the same sentence again. i can never talk fluently and i have to pause a lot.

  • @stuartseupaul please do...When I speak, I have horible lapses,say um and like too much, say things twice in a setence, and It gets worse when I'm nervous. When I write seriously, I write perfectly (obviously not on this comment) but when I speak, what's in my mind never comes out.

  • @stuartseupaul

    hahahah you are sooo lucky.. i talk really weird my voice is weird and no one can understand me when i speak..

  • thats not a disorder, thats a habit you can fix it with speech therapy.

  • I understand the full extent of this disorder. I was diagnosed with APD (auditory processing disorder) when I was eight years old. This disorder overlaps with what I know now to be Cluttering. I always felt in my life that I was not taken seriously because of this disorder. I have been called flighty way to many times. Of course I laugh at it like its no big deal, but it is a 'BIG' deal.

  • thank you..from most of the comments i gather my problem is more visible to me than to others, because i feel the frustration when my thoughts and opinions aren't explained or communicated properly- others aren't aware of it but i am, and i always feel like i appear stupid

  • i feel the same way all the time i try to explain or tell something to someone, they always give me that confused look when i try to explain something to someone, it sucks

  • lies

  • This isn't bad at all. It's hard for anyone to talk about off the top of their head about a given topic. That's why you'll see guys like sxephil does quick cuts, because he edits out the uh, um. I've even seen doctors record their notes on a tape recorder for their secretary to type up and they pause and same um and stuff.
