Recently i have been afraid of talking because i imagine that my mouth looks weird when i do. So i try to control it and make it look natural while talking. This makes it even weirder, and i get the feeling all the time that people notice this and then often look a way. when i talk..the paralyzing fear i get when talking in front of other people causes my face to twitch and my mouth to not open all the way..combined with me realizing this, conversations are always awkward with people/ people think i am retarded within a day or 2 of meeting me...
how do i improve the way i talk?...

If you are not good at talking, you're fucked.

You only get better the more you talk to different and more people.

Ever notice how you may speak a certain way in front of family but not strangers? Every time you talk to a stranger it's like you reset your speaking pattern because you are free from conditioned muscle responses.

Every new person you meet is a chance to exercise speaking.
Watch movies and mimic accents for fun.
I do it and even though they sound cheesy, women love it. They think its charming.

Let me tell you something talking is the key to so many things in life. Women, getting what you want, defusing a situation, coming off as interesting, etc.

Another key concept is to be short and sweet. Drop the adjectives and say only the crucial details. Also please don't drag on, get your point across and fast.

You want to be the 30 second commercial, not the home shopping channel.

Don't worry about things like that, just forget about them.

Ignorance is bliss and that's not always a bad thing. Sometimes it's just what you need.

For example today this friend gave me "advice" on a girl I'm seeing.

" don't be quick to fall in love, if some guy comes by and sweeps her off her feet she'll leave you in a snap"

Now I could take this and fantasize about it and run with it like 4channers tend to do, but I don't.

What do it do? I realize that /I/ am the person who sweeps her off her feet. /I/ am the one who knocks (lol)

And then just forget about it.

If you want a good environment for this, consider a job like a waiter or customer service

I am assuming you are young
