how to be more confident in social situations
i was in a classroom today with another pupil and my teacher. well the pupil always has something to say and well i can never think of anything to say. usually when i talk im very vague in what i saw, i hesitate and i stutter and become tongue tied...
the teacher i think has noticed my immaturity in social situations for she has told me in couple of times that im rather vague in what i say etc...i try to be more concise but it always backfires due to me stuttering etc...
im beginning to think that im immature in social situations...i just dont know how to improve on this and know what to say....

Howdy,
With the stuttering (which probably affects your confidence?) when you feel yourself coming up to a difficult word try to say it extra slow - one syllable at a time so you can get through that word.
There is nothing wrong with hesitation - it gives you time to think, so you can get a better answer - if they get impatient then I wouldn't waste my words on them.
I wouldn't say it's 'immaturity' more shyness, and that you can solve itself with time.
And btw - the other pupil sounds like some sort of show-off poncey geek, ignore them!

I don't know why, but something about that response really made me chuckle.

I stutter. It isn't funny, I know, but when I talk with teachers one-on-one they dont care about my stutter and they listent o what I have to say - consequentially, a lot of my lecturers like me because although I stutter, I am articulate - try and get them to see that.
Try and talk slow if you want, didn't help me any although it may help you. What I find help me is when it come up to a "hard word" I say it loudly and forcefully - sure, it sounds weird but it gets the word out. Or I just stutter and get on with it.

Ditto, I wouldn't call it immaturity. That depends entirely on what you say rather than how. I'm sure ppl want to hear what you have to say. I found it helps to pretend you're only talking to one person - the teacher - in an empty room rather than worrying about what everyone else might be thinking about you. Try it.

Exactly how I would have put it if I were articulate enough, biggie.
