Analyzing what people are saying

[Neptunes]

Something which I have started doing over the last few months which I have never done before is kind of analyzing what people are saying, weather it be on the T.V or actually talking to someone. I listen to the sentences and can identify exactly where I would stutter within that sentence. Its really annoying beacause I cant stop myself from doing
it. Every time I Identify a word or series of words that I would stutter on I say to myself "I could not do that" I cant just listen to the sentence without thinking this.

Does anyone else do this??

I have been analyzing people ever since I could remember. I have that attitude, you can speak better than that. Or I would say it differently. I haven't thought of if I was up there speaking in front of a crowd of people. I would stutter on this word or that word. I would think on how I would say it differently. I do listen how words are said. I heard myself speak and I don't pronounce certain words right.

oh god, i thought i was alone on this.

i can spot every little problem, a pause that goes for to long, or something very minor, almost as if i'm seeing if the person stutters.

Yeah, I do that as well. I notice everything. Its as if your kind of waiting for the day you actually see someone that stutters but it never seems to happen.

Oh great, Alanis Morissette is on the t.v singing
one hand in my pocket. I bet she dosn't stutter.

No, shes being interviewed now and shes not stuttering, I knew it :D

I have spotted closet stutters and I have purposely stuttered in front of them. I work with a guy who is a closet stutter, and he is doing every trick I have done to hide it. I have seen Eric Roberts stumble in some of his movies.

I was supposed on how many people stutter, just by watching closely how they speak and watch for body language. There are more of us than we know.

i was watching bruce willis on the biography channel, and as we know he stutters.

so i was waiting for him to do it. most of his talking was 100% fluent, but then it came to a part when he had to say breasts, and he asked if he was allowed to say breasts on TV. so he said it first time fine, but the next time, he got this huge block.

its good to know someone that famous who stutters. also good to have someone to look up to.

its funny cause bruce willis has always been one of my fave actors, and it started before i knew he stuttered, so when i found out that he also stutters, u feel theres more of a connection.

I would like to see a tape of that. No doubt I will see it some day.

I read somewhere that James Earl Jones was rehearsing a part in a film and he stuttered (we all know he stutters too) and the director liked it so much that he wanted to incorporate the stutter into the character he was playing. Aparantley, Mr Jones was reluctant to do it at first but then he finaly agreed.
