My right eye twitches and my stomach and neck get really tight. So what I TRY (key word try) to do is speak as if my jaw is really loose so my neck/eye don’t tighten up. No tightening up = no stutteri...

I mean , looking at the people who have acquired stammer , which could be caused by brain injury or stroke etc . The only difference i find when listening to them is that their disfluencies are easy a...

Well technically he’s right , the stress we put on ourselves to be fluent does add to the pressure of speaking, so if we accept it and don’t fight it, we’ll still stutter but it’ll be less “panic” and...

Some early researchers called stuttering what you do to avoid stuttering. I think OP has an overall point, however. At it's base, stuttering is just the disruption of speech. There is a reaction to th...

Neurological component and psychological component

Neurological component and psychological component I do to some extent agree that stuttering has neurological bases. But what if we were only left with neurological component excluding every thing els...

For me it's when teachers love doing the 'introduce yourself' thing and it gets to me and I'm like my name is a-a-a-ando and the teacher like "just spit it out". Well guess what Mrs Smith, I can't do ...

I was never bullied in school for my stutter. But now i'm in college and my roommate has been making fun of the way I say 'a cappella' (i'm in the campus a cappella group). I usually put H's before vo...

I have quite a few examples. One was a rejection by a girl. I’ve been rejected many times and some have been specifically due to my stutter. One time, a girl told me she would only date me if I stop...

Keep playing the sport if you genuinely like it. But distance yourself from these people because they don't seem that high quality of friends. Also fuck this clique. Cliques are for people in high s...

I mean maybe to a certain extent depending on the type of stutter you have. My stutter doesn’t come up much unless I encounter a word/phrase that I can’t work around. Besides, me telling people abt my...

I only stutter when I think I'm going to stutter.

I only stutter when I think I'm going to stutter. If I'm not thinking about stuttering at all, I don't stutter, but the moment I start thinking that I'll stutter, that's when I stutter. Its so frustra...

I'm currently pursuing a MSc, so I've been in the higher education system for some time. I've had my ups and downs, although more ups than downs. I've very much enjoyed the first couple of years, main...

I didn't mean to be rude! But I just don't want anyone taking this blog post as advice, because it's not, it's quite the opposite. ...

But why do you use 'lying' when it wont help in the long run, and will actually only make it worse, if you don't mind me asking? ...

Those are not techniques, those are avoidance behaviours that feed your fear of stuttering....

Well, lying is not a technique. Lying is just being a douche. People will understand that you have a stutter. People wont understand why you lie. ...

Everybody's different and these techniques work for me. They may not work for you, but I'm trying to deal with it in my own way...

Good goal, but you may have to use tricks until you obtain true fluency. Remember you may never obtain true fluency. It was luck and hard work. Good luck!...

But how will you get better at speaking, if you don’t do it? I’m the opposite, I take the opportunity to go in front of the class and speak. Not in my full lecture (with about 130), but every Thursday...

I’ve commented here before on someone asking a similar question. I can tell you that I suffered the most in college. People don’t understand it and you’re constantly either having to socialize and spe...
