When I was child, I never spoke. Teacher used to write remarks on my note book. My mom sent me to a trainer. I started talking, and it gave me confidence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up as an only child. My parents weren't great conversationalists. We had a quiet house. I'm not very verbal.
I was very shy - I didn't speak to anyone outside of my family until the fourth grade.
I had a lot of trouble speaking as a kid. I didn't really speak in coherent sentences until I was, like, 6 years old. There was a long time where everybody was very worried, because my sisters were so advanced for their age, and I would barely talk.
I did a lot of fast talking as a youth; I was pretty good at it. I was never talked into it - I was always the one doing the talking.
In school, I didn't speak up often in class. I was never the person to yell out an answer. If I knew it, I might whisper it to my buddy and let him answer. I kept quiet.
As a child in the early 1980s, I tended to talk with things in my mouth - food, dentist's tubes, balloons that would fly away, whatever - and if no one else was around, I'd talk anyway.
I was the shyest kid. I'd never speak, only if I had to. Honestly.
I never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions.
As a kid, I was told to talk as much as possible.
Everyone learns how to talk by doing an impression of their parents. I'm one of many people who has a highly developed ability to do that.
