Well, it could help. I used to be self-conscious about my speaking 
habits too. I would try to talk fast so that people wouldn't think I was 
stupid, but as a result I found myself messing up way too often. I try 
to talk at a steady pace now, and have found that I can be understood 
more clearly. I don't withhold large words or concepts anymore, either. 
People respect you for treating them as an equal, not some elite jerk. 
(I'm not accusing you of this, for the record)

Hey, good luck! Maybe you'll get married and have children soon. Who 
knows, maybe your shyness is actually due to your wanting a real 
relationship, not some fling. Oh wait, that was me :)
