I think it has a lot to do with how society interprets stuttering - if you look at any character that stutters in any fictional story, not one of them *just stutters* (that I know about, anyway). It's...

so many for you it seems confidence might equate to anxiety? So, the less anxious you feel the more likely you are to feel 'confident'?...

I'd say generally yes. Confident days are days where I'm not an anxiety ridden mess. I have more clarity and am more in touch with reality, I have goals, things I look forward to and am generally more...

I think less stuttering can cause greater confidence, not the other way around. I think less anxiety can cause less stuttering, but I don't see anxiety as being the opposite of confidence....

It's interesintg because I've experienced brief spells of confidence and I also experience brief spells of fluency, they are not the same thing and for me, one doesn't necessarily have something to do...

Confidence

Confidence I often see people write that "confidence" is directly relevant to stuttering. Or establishing "confidence" is necessary (and sufficient?) to overcoming stuttering. There was a very inter...

Seems the problem here isnt actually your stuttering, its good old social anxiety. And the only thing that really helps there is exposure. I know its hard, but try to not focus on yourself while in a...

right, so, there's a couple of things we need to take a look at here. first of all, i'd like you to reflect on what exactly goes on "in your head" when you're speaking, or trying to speak, as it were...

Stuttering and Conversation

Stuttering and Conversation I'm tired of this. If you knew me, you might say my stuttering isn't that bad. "I barely hear you stutter". Alright then, I guess I'm a covert stutterer. Life is great rig...

Don't hold yourself back

Don't hold yourself back I recently built up the courage to attend a career fair at my college. I had been debating whether or not I should go for a while. However, I realized that I have to do things...

You got this! Throw yourself in the most socially terrifying situations such as public speaking and approaching girls. Do it! ...

Mixed/White/Boring, Canada. Born in Toronto, moved to Nova Scotia when I was young. Started talking late (2.5) and have been stuttering my whole life as far as I know, although it's gotten worse prett...

I stutter for as long as I can remember, one of the first stuttering moments I can recall was on an end of the year kinder-garden presentation, there were close to 300 people staring at me waiting for...

White, 17 years old, from Gafsa, Tunisia. I'm still in high-school and tomorrow is the first day of school and goddamn I'm nervous!...

The biggest fear for any stutterer is having to speak up in huge moments. How are we expected to say "Will you marry me?", let alone ask a girl out? How are we meant to introduce ourselves in intervie...

Its strange how it happens in some scenarios and not others. That tells me the problem we have is all mental and can be changed or fixed if in the correct state of mind. The question is how to get the...

I have the same situation as yours and I stutter more when I am doing power point presentations in front of audience. I don't stutter when having a conversation with someone....

I don't know the extent of your anxiety, but my initial gut reaction is you do not have a general anxiety disorder, but you (as like many people who stutter) experience breakdown in speech production ...

well if you want to work on calmness and relaxation i would encourage that. It can't do anything but help. I'd be curious to think about when you are confident and when you arent. is it based on the s...

You should feel bad if you didnt feel anxious. I mean how could you not? This is something unfamiliar and very worrying to most people. I think the more you learn about it and that it's not some impos...
