Yeah.. sometimes I just see people and want to talk to them it's a weird feeling. I'm there staring at them and debating whether I should say something.. my mouth twitches and I say one word and I imm...

> Once I begin the convo I'm like "Wtf was I thinking". LOL. Man, do I know that regret. Intimately. There are times when that happens where all I can do is stand there and just... shrug. I'm luck...

I'm thinking about this a lot with myself right now. Since I've started seeing someone about stuttering and have started addressing my issues, I've actually noticed a pretty dramatic decrease in soci...

Yeah, that's how I feel most of the time, and then I wonder how fundamentally different my life would be if I didn't stutter. My anxiety holds me back more than the stutter....

I think it goes like this; - We begin stuttering and are aware of it - Since we are aware, we begin to get anxious about it - The anxiety fuels us to stutter more So ultimately, I think the first on...

I have anxiety for many things. I'm just an overall nervous person, but stuttering makes it a lot worse....

Some people stutter because they stutter. The anxiety of knowing we stutter may in fact increase our stuttering. Many speech therapists now target the social/emotional aspect of stuttering as well a...

I'd say my stuttering is due to communication anxiety. I speak fluently when I'm talking to myself or my dog but as soon as another person comes into play and I'm required to communicate with them, my...

Man you're lucky. I stutter and block like crazy in front of my parents. I suck at communicating with people who are close to me like my parents, sisters etc. Maybe it's because I don't try to hide my...

It's so hard to tell. I know that once I'm thinking about either, they feed into each other. I try to separate the two, but I'd probably say that the stutter is on my mind more often then anxiety. ...

"Do you have anxiety because you stutter, or do you stutter because you have anxiety?" I get asked a lot...

"Do you have anxiety because you stutter, or do you stutter because you have anxiety?" I get asked a lot... ... and I just don't even know. What came first, the chicken or the egg? I was diagnosed wit...

I think this is pretty common for stutterers. At least for me, it's definitely the case. The people I know well are already aware that I stutter and don't even react to it. There is zero pressure, no ...

From my experience and from talking to others who used to be terribly disfluent but have since gained near 100% fluency.. anxiety does have a pretty significant role. For me, I know I'd never stutter...

Similar to HS really. Most people just are a bit confused by it the first time they hear you stutter then just accept it. Occasional laugh the first time (I just stare them down for a bit). You just d...

High school (and middle school, Jesus... bad memories) can be hell for stutterers, but I'm telling you, the older you get, the less people give a fuck. ...

I really hope so...I just don't see a time for instance, where I'm going to a party or bar with friends and girls that telling them that I stutter is socially acceptable...

For people with silent blocks: Do any of you guys have nearly perfect, spontaneous fluency around some people, but harder, more calculated fluency around others?

You can't let your stutter define who you are. I stutter, and I am a first year associate at a large law firm. My stutter isn't too bad when I am speaking to somebody one-on-one, but it gets pretty b...

Yes! Me too! End of semesters were hard because everyone's behind on something or the other and patience runs thin....

I feel as if a lot of people assume that stuttering means you're anxious, scared, etc...which obviously don't play well in an interview. One strategy I've used is to bring up my stutter in a funny way...
