Why did you put 'roleplaying' in quotes? Oh, as in, not _dice_? We're talking about a person here who, presumably, would never _not_ be in character of some sort, when they were dealing with other pe...

Well, I wouldn't call it a supplement, but gum helps me a lot! It makes me less stressed out when I have to speak out loud. Just the feeling of having something in my mouth that I can chew on makes me...

Hello Fimpo! It would seem that we are cut from the same cloth! A lot of your experiences are the same as mine! I would say my stutter is moderate to severe! I allowed myself to get heavily morbidly...

Hey man. I can relate to your experiences. When I was younger, I used to be this really outgoing kid. I would always want to talk to people, I would make them laugh, I was pretty social. Despite my st...

I never want to talk to anyone

I never want to talk to anyone I don’t really know where to begin this so I will just start from childhood. I have been stuttering since I was about ten years old. Growing up, this gave me huge proble...

I have the exact same experience. In normal conversation, I'm usually pretty fine, but my stutter pops up whenever I plan out what I want to say (which includes saying my own name, because there's no ...

I stutter in normal speech as well, but I can definitely recognize what you're talking about. Most of a person's stutter is psychological, there's the old iceberg analogy that only 10% is actually vis...

I first realized that I wanted to do medicine when I was in high school. Stuttering was one of the main reasons I decided to pursue medicine. I always wanted to know how and why stuttering occurs and...

Stutter worst when I've been planning what I want to say

Stutter worst when I've been planning what I want to say I'm not sure what I've got right now could be called a bad stutter, but it's quite a big part of my day to day life. It seems to only come arou...

Oh god yes, it drives me insane... However, I'm with everyone else here, you gotta disclose that you stutter and just calm yourself down. Whether its finding something in common with the other person ...

Canada - when driving across land borders - choose busy ones. Living in a country which has less social drama, and where public discussion is conducted in a more sensible way is I think a very healthy...

Hi Lyssinflannel, I had to respond to your post because I felt like I was reading an entry in my diary lol. I’m a 23/f stutterer…soon to be 24 I never attended Hollins, but I did purchase the speech...

I feel the same way. I get anxiety when my phone rings and I have to answer it - normally when its from someone I don't know or someone that is important (like a job interview). My heart races and mos...

Anxiety can make stuttering worse, but that's not the main cause. I remember reading in a textbook for speech pathologists that stuttering only happens with bi-directional communication. So I (and oth...

To me at least it's a balance between stress, technique, and control. Having one out of whack can make the stutter worse. Anxiety, while a factor, isn't the only one. But relaxation techniques do he...

This is pretty common. You have to remember to breath, especially before you start speaking. It may help with your speech, but it will definitely help with you anxiety. Which will hopefully help with ...

I have the same problem. I notice its because I don't take a breath before I start talking. The anxiety of knowing I'm going to talk makes me rush into trying to speak and i try to push everything out...

Breathlessness while speaking ...

Breathlessness while speaking ... I'm positive that it's because of my anxiety . It causes me to panic and start stuttering more . Does anyone have the same problem ? And any ideas on how bre...

What you don't seem to grasp is that I'm CONSTANTLY in stress, I'm constantly nervous even though there is absolutely no reason to be nervous. I actually had no idea what stress was until I went throu...

Because you can't lead a stress free life. Every person has to deal with stress in their lives. You can only learn to handle stress, not taking it away. Or you must live on welfare, be sure to shut ...
