I have a feeling she meant that she wants to add a bit of weight, but look healthy :P

Hi,

I have always been kind of self-conscious about my speech. I have been told that I sound laid back and not very confident. No one really likes talking to me because I slur and don't seem to...

I have always thought that too. Bad posture and weak core muscles. I'm currently working out and I could understand the way bodybuilders talk. When I force a better posture with my abs tuck inwards,...

Rather provide for free. :)

Not really. :D But as a result of some inner observation whenever I'm stressed, depressed, anxious, even when I'm happy, I'm coming to understand what I am and why we feel negativity after a bunch of...

Wondergirl, thanks for the advice. I am reading fiction but not children's books, out loud. It truly helps to speak through the diaphragm. Alone it's fun and motivating, but when talking to people...

I apologize. My understanding and perspectives may not fit in with yours, so I can't help if there is a tendency to argue back and forth, but that is not my nature.

I'd again like to tell you my...

I am no psychological expert, nor do I need to be one. And I wasn't saying it was his/her fault. Depression is not a bodily disease, it is psychological. With all psychological disorders comes the...

Whatever it is that you're feeling... let it happen, don't resist it. Feel it out, observe it, understand it without thinking.

Depression has a tendency to survive due to your very own feeding....

Wondergirl,

I talked to a counsellor that knows about speech therapy and pretty much made to me talk about a preferred topic.

This is what she said:
Practice talking via my diaphragm a bit...

I have been in the same situation in the past. I watch those horror movies and when I go to bed, I panic in fear.

Nowadays it doesn't bother me as much because I don't pay attention to my...

Nicely worded :)

Also look into "Mooji", "Nisargadatta Maharaj" & a lady by the name "Jac O'Keefe".

Mooji and Jac O'keefe have plenty of free YouTube videos. Check them out.

Similar to Eckhart tolle's...

To discover there is no "somebody" who exists to realize their own worth.

This is freedom! :)

I'll see to it. Thanks :)

I won't be the best to explain and provide understanding to this teaching, but look into these spiritual teachers which I have found to be a few of the best.

Mooji
Eckhart tolle.

Now before...

When there is a condition upon feeling good then feeling good will come and go, come and go. It cannot be constant.

Try this. Whenever you drink (Forget about Drugs unless you have to!) observe...

Hi wondergirl.

Thank you for your advice.

Honestly, I cannot afford to pay anymore cash :D. I'm a student.

I'd like to mention this again. When I'm lying down and talking my speech is very...

Fear of failure in itself is a desire for success. You fear because you desire. It is as simple as that. To overcome it is to go through it. Do the things you fear and fail in it and observe the...

Hi,

I am known to (by friends and family) to not talk very fluently. I mumble and slur words. I started learning English when I was 5 years old, but the lack of siblings and living an anti-social...

Focus externally, not internally. By doing so you avoid thoughts of the past and future. Think about what you are doing right now and you'll be surprised how you'll life will turn around for the...

I guess I should learn to not dwell on the past. Whatever happened, happened and I should learn from it. Even if I never will get to see that girl again I shouldn't have that thought mess me over. If...

So I was at this party last night and really got drunk. I partied hard and ended dancing with this hot girl. It felt so good doing it drunk, yet now while I'm sober I'm whining about how I wish I...

It's funny though I'm uncomfortable hanging with people I know. I guess it's because I don't go out as much so I'm not too used to social life. I get happy when people like me but very depressed when...

I'm male and 19 years old. Thing is I want to make friends but get nervous thinking about it too much. Basically if I have a goal that puts me in front of people and start thinking about it too much,...

Hey,

Okay one of buddies told me to come to this huge party at this club. Huge meaning like hundreds of people (19-22 years). Some I know(not very comfortable with them) and others I don't.

I...

Heard if you act confident then confidence will soon easily come up. Is this the best way, forcing yourself to act confident?

I was thinking about getting Facebook to up my confidence I guess. Should I get it and risk having no one to talk to and make a fool out of myself with such a small friends list and such OR is this...

Yeah what looking at people have fun just puts me down. Even if I wanted to have fun its hard because I can't call anyone to start something. I don't want to be a loner, yet I can't find ways to stop...

Okay I'm taking this one step at a time...


However today someone I know said if I was a loner because he hardly sees me with anyone or even sees me around for that matter. I just twisted the...

Well its hard for me to join clubs when I have problems approaching people :(

Okay thanks for the advice.

Also I have this one other problem. My friend says to get Facebook but I'm worried I'll get embrassed once he sees my friends list. He might think I'm a loner when no...

Hi I have this problem. I'm quite the negative thinker which I'm trying my best to stop by redirecting negative thoughts to positive ones. But one thing that is very hard for me to stop worrying is...

how do I talk fluently w/o having to think about how I am saying my words (How I'm pronouncing it) I always take note of my talking and noted I struggle talking fluently. As a result I focus on how I...

Yeah That is what I'm going to do. I'll stay focused on my speech while I 'just talk to people'

Thanks

Your saying that it won't work if I talk to people everyday but then you 're saying talking to others will work? What do you mean?

I know I have to work myself to make it clear and that is what I...

How can I improve by just talking everyday to people? Should I stop worrying about how I sound and just talk and concentrate on opening my mouth and pronouncating? Is it true if I open my mouth more,...

Will reading out loud help with speaking more fluently and clearly?

Can I like send someone a recording of my voice because I heard myself and found that I have a monotone voice. Even when I show expression it still sounds so montone and dead.

Thanks for the advice, but some people would say my voice is so deep that I sound like I'm dead or laid back when I talk. I get quite down when people make fun of my voice or the way I talk.

Wallabee that helped so much. Thank you. I had the problem of thinking I was too old, at 18 years, to not be having fun or hanging out with friends or going out occasionally rather than staying at...

Okay thanks I guess I'l try focusing at an object and think about the object. Every time I stop thinking about the future and the past I feel so happy and good. For example when I stop thinking...

What is the best technique to mediate to feel more confident and more into the present?

People sometimes say I mumble when I talk therefore can't understand what the hell I'm saying. I believe I tend to mumble because of my deep voice and because I don't talk as much at school. I also...

Okay I found out that past is history and future is mystery therefore I must live in the present. However I need advice on how to keep my mind fully at the present. I usually seem to drift off to...

Yeah I get kind of worried about how I speak because if someone were to make fun of me and the way I spoke, I would crash into depression mood. Talking is the only were to best communicate with...

I don't know if its me but I seem to talk in monotone and if I can't say a word properly it sounds like I mumble. Is this because I'm a quiet person? Or is it because I'm scared to talk thus causing...

Okay I'm trying to figure out how to stay positve about life and. Stuff. Is it a good method to stop caring about not having friends in school and all over. Like I always stay home and never really...

How do I fix this? I'm feeling very depressed now because I have no body to talk to at school. I made the mistake of hiding around school avoiding people at school, as a result right now I'm...

I don't know man! I just want to forget about her. Even with other forms of communication I always get that buttterfuly in my stomach and shakiness. I try to talk to her on msn but I get very nervous...
