I am the exact same way. In front of my parents/family, I stutter almost constantly. But as soon as I'm out with friends/in public, I barely ever have problems stuttering. Yet I also find that the ...

I'm the worst in front of my parents. I'm not sure why that is, exactly. I have a theory that my stutter is all about pressure I put on myself, so perhaps I feel even more pressure to 'impress' my p...

I have a couple thoughts -- 1) stuttering is variable. Not everyone who stutters is going to have the same experiences. You will stutter more in different situations compared to me, and vice versa. ...

"I can tell they don't like it one bit, the expressions I get from them just tells the entire story." That speaks volumes. I feel like people who stutter are more sensitive to the reactions of others...

Well, it depends on how bad it is and how well you take it. For me it was quite bad, basically stuttering was causing stress, strong anxiety and embarassment in almost every speaking situation I got. ...

Hey! Really interesting to see all the PWS here who are doing journalism. I'm 25 and have been working as a journalist / editor for the last two years. It's been a bumpy road, but also, as someone els...

This is very true, at least for me. And also I find that the more unexpected I think my words would be to my listeners the more I stutter. ;...

Does anyone else feel a need to swallow in nervous situations?
