I did not speak at all in high school. Now I am 46. If I am having a bad fluency day, I won’t contribute to convos unless I have to....

I mean I wonder that it as well, but like when I’m with people I know, or at work, I’m usually loud and outgoing. I notice it more when I’m around people I don’t know. Like for instance when I was in ...

Is my stuttering purely psychological?

Is my stuttering purely psychological? Hi, I've been struggling with my stutter since I was 6-7 years old (I'm 25 now) and I was wondering if my problem is psychological, neurological or just a habit ...

I'm not sure why it is but yeah it could be a good thing in a way. It's still super annoying. I sometimes can't even spit out responses at all so I'm left sitting there in silence. ...

If I can't respond with a Merry Christmas or whatever, I usually go with you too, same to you, right back at you, likewise, literally whatever I can spit out. Have fun is usually my last resort....

I know exactly you mean. Just try to say thank you, if that's easier. It's better than not saying anything. ...

No need to feel like a douche, you did reply, albeit quietly. I'm sure cab drivers have to deal with genuine douches all the time. I sometimes do the same, though rather than speaking quietly I take ...

I hate it (well, not really hate since it's a nice gesture) but when cashiers, cab drivers etc randomly say merry christmas, happy new year and so on I usually stutter with the reply

Stuttering does define us. Stuttering gave us a lot of our experiences in life that make who we are today. It's a big part of who we are, especially those of us that have been stuttering since the day...

I have recovered from stuttering 100%. Stuttering had held me back, but only because managing my speech was draining my energy and focus....

Not in my case, no, I don't think. Besides, how could we tell? We've got no alternate reality to compare to. Maybe if someone told us directly "it's because you stutter", but I don't know how many mi...

+1 for Seinfeld Isn’t being the person not talking worse than being the person who stutters? I feel like that unless you’re just gorgeous and can pull off the aloof disinterested stranger vibe, it’s ...

I'm usually the one helping others here but today I felt truly defeated. I can't take this.

I'm usually the one helping others here but today I felt truly defeated. I can't take this. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm usually the one helping other stutterers out and giving them advice. I ...

Yea, you'd be hard pressed to find a stutterer who didn't struggle with his or her name. It got easier for me when I stopped trying not to stutter on my name....

Anyone every just given up and gone completely sign language I am currently at the end of my rope here, I will never be fixed and its frustrating. I currently do not know sign language, but want to st...

On a date

On a date Edit: I am tired and not a native English speaker, so sorry in advance for all the mistakes that are in the post I am currently trying to change myself, to overcome my social anxiety. So...

Yea I guess, but it's very laborious. I do it when i have no other choice,didn't happen often. With the "the" I kept trying euh-euh-eut and so on until I gave up. I have more trouble with consonants, ...

The random name ask is the worst. I usually it myself time with "hunh?". It doesn't always work without the person giving me a look like "I know you heard me." But It's better then a long pause....

I think it's a big part of stuttering is habit, the same way we panic before speaking is a habit which in turn makes us stutter which re-enforces that we stutter, then we add secondary behaviours like...
