The incident after the classic platense

I have brought the subject of speech since I was a child and I live with it day by day. It’s a disfluency, some days it’s there and others it’s not, the main thing is that it never stopped me from doing anything. I’ve met people who hold back for these things but it’s not worth it, ”he said. “I think things faster than I say them. I think 20 things and then when I want to say them I kind of get stuck. It’s that, it’s a hindrance, I don’t repeat what I say. I come with the dialogue but my head wants to go faster than my mouth. In the moments that I am with more pressure or more trouble, I get stuck more. When I see that I get stuck on a word, I try to find a synonym and that gets me out, ”he added.

In addition, he said that fortunately was not bullied as a child: “When I was a kid I used to tease myself and get hot on myself. when I grow up I say ‘It is done’. I think about it today and it was ‘strange’ that I didn’t go overboard. The first tests in class in front of the group, it was my turn and I thought what to do…, because if I asked not to pass I would expose myself and make me different from the rest. Said ‘I pass and let it come out as it is‘. Already the previous week I was repeating from memory, a lot of nerves, I got very stuck, but I did it. The teacher did not take into account how I said it, but what I said, so she gave me a nine, “he said.

He also made reference to how the first note he had to give was: “My first interview I said ‘I do it and let it come out as it comes out’. ¿¡But how many kids are there who have speech problems and don’t talk to the press because they’re scared or embarrassed!? It was a key day in my life, and let it be what it has to be. He was clueless, stuck, but he came out. I considered it as the day I had to debut. The last time I went to a speech pathologist, it was at Newell’s. More than a treatment, it was a group therapy and I understood that there is no need to fight against this. I don’t have to fight against what I have because I don’t want it, it’s mine and I have to love it, and above all I have to love myself”complete.
