Yeah, I'm pretty sure she wasn't a stutterer. But it's this constant focus that people sometimes have on the delivery and not on the message. As a stutterer it's just really hard to see videos like ...

I haven't noticed any difference in my stuttering, but my anxiety is way lower though. So I can talk to anyone I want. Outside the Internet that is. Still too scared to say hi over the microphone to m...

Off to do an oral presentation for university Im scared as fuck and have been fearing this day for months, wish me luck people!...

It may be easy to forget in superfluos situations such as asking for directions, but in formal events is our worst handicap. ...

> Mainly because I'm not worried about being wrong Glad to know I'm not alone. I feel as though 90% of my blocks come from insidious and barely perceptible thoughts that make me doubt what's about...

Oh, no doubt. I'm a *very* image obsessed person. OCD, Anxiety, and occasional depression don't help either. I'm sure there's a lot going on mentally that I'm not actively conscious of. ...

I had a speech therapist once who told me something to the effect of that the anxiety doesn't cause the stuttering, but can make it worse. That sounds about right. The problem is that the stuttering a...

True. I think confidence plays a huge role. For example, if I'm talking to a child about my job duties, I probably won't stutter. Mainly because I'm not worried about being wrong (how would they kno...

It might have to do with alcohol being a depressant. Maybe it makes it harder to over-tighten your vocal cords? Might also be confidence, of course. I notice a similar thing, although it's not entire...

It isn't easy at first, I'm just a beginner and I still have a bad time every time I have to speak in public, but I feel it is something that had to be done. People there are ver comprensive and frien...

I've considered joining a toastmasters group, but just the idea sorta puts me uneasy. Maybe eventually, I'll force myself to go....

I to am going through a rough period speech-wise right now too. Having it come and go in waves like this almost makes it harder. For example I started a new job 2 months ago, and my rough speech perio...

How did you get that attitude change? I find it difficult to not care about it, people look at me like wtf is happening when I stutter. I get really stressed out but I can't find a way to ignore it. ...

Regarding Toastmasters, I believe my speech impediment heavily relies on the situation i'm in. By getting used to public speaking I hope to lower my anxiety levels when communicating orally. It's like...

I've commonly heard that people find their stutter much less noticeable when speaking a foreign language. I have to say that the opposite is the case with me, my stutter is much, much worse when tryin...

After reading this, I may give it another go. I tried up until this past year to learn Chinese and only got to the 2nd level of my University's classes, but then my interest fizzled out when I realize...

How to Learning a Second Language?

How to Learning a Second Language? So I'm an American trying to learn Spanish. I also have a very severe stutter. Bilingual stutterers who didn't learn from birth, how'd you do it? I use DuoLingo, but...

Well, most of them said that it's less attractive if it's severe which is IMO kinda understandable. It's hard being with person who you can barely communicate with because he can't get his words out...

In this case one has to take into account *uncertainty* as a factor. I think a main problem with stuttering, or any speech disorder really, is that upon first contact it can potentially be hard for th...

> Something, like a stutter, by itself is not and cannot be a turn off. I agree with the gist of your comment but if something as silly as blond hair vs brown hair can be a turn-off or turn-on, th...
