> In my opinion, by saying 'I have a stutter that sometimes come up' you create a condition to expect a stutter every time you enter a situation, so of course you will stutter. No. I think this is incorrect. I accept stutter as part of who I am. When I stutter, I honestly and genuinely don't care anymore. I know these are not in the same magnitude, but imagine a guy with a really hoarse voice. Every time he says something, people pick on his unusually deep and distorted pitch. There's a singer in my country who has that and instead of awkwardly making his voice sound weird, he sings with it and embraces it. Because he really doesn't care anymore. This is my voice. This is how I communicate. Whether you like or not is up to you, I'm just gonna keep doing my things. And therefore when I point out that I just stuttered and I have a stutter and by implicitly saying that it's only a stutter and not a sign of being nervous, I acknowledge for people to impedimentally stutter is not common and therefore I have this case. Also the rest of your comment on the chain of how stutter comes about is true: when you expect you'll stutter, you will. But I'd humbly say that this is not my case anymore. I was there in the past and I came out of the other side long time ago. The expectation of stuttering does make stuttering even worse. The acknowledgement that you have a speech impediment is a completely different story. In fact, the latter helps you reducing it significantly. Embracing your stutter and developing the mental fortitude of not caring is a hard thing to do, but it is achievable through a lot of painful experiences and good ones too. > Conclusion: You say that you get stuck over and over but you don't give a f*ck. This is basically your stressor that triggers your mind to decide on which word you will stutter. Wrong. Read my comment again. I don't expect to stutter anymore. That when I do, it catches me by surprise. And when it does, yes, I don't care anymore. It just happens and that's it. I don't think it over and ruminate it for minutes or hours. I just literally think, "Oh fuck, I stuttered again. Whatever," and cognitively proceed to think about what I was saying. That's exactly and literally what's happening in my brain before and after the stuttering. There's no expectations. No aftermath. Nothing. I stutter, realize it, move on. And this in turn reduces it significantly because as you said, the expectations is what fuxks with your stutter the most. I'm sure you know this but everyone else stutters to different levels.... What makes you so bad when you do it? > What is your opinion? How should you approach your 'stressor'? Lol you don't. You're asking the wrong questions. You ignore it, you don't make it a thing. You just move on.
