- Low self-esteem . Because of insecurity, a person is afraid to state his own opinion, thinking that all his stories are simply uninteresting to others, and the fear of looking silly "makes" silent, well, the lack of speech practice leads to problems with communication.
- Banal illiteracy . Eloquence is not born with a person to speak competently, to have a large vocabulary, to master beautiful speech, a person needs to develop. Reading books, communicating with smart people, watching good films, etc. all this helps to broaden the horizon and, of course, improve spoken language .
