Like you worry so much about *what* you're saying that it lives little room for worrying about the *how*, so it just sort of works? I can totally see what you mean....

Telling a story is emotionally charged which often increases stuttering....

I meant when you give an answer with whom (you) have authority. Like if you're extremely familiar with a subject and you're asked a simple question. For me at least, the more brain power I have to de...

I have the exact opposite problem. Telling a story is usually more relaxing and there's less expectation where as giving a direct answer I sometimes feel pressured to answer it perfectly if that makes...

I usually have the exact opposite problem. Storytelling comes naturally to me, and I stutter significantly less when recounting a tale. However, if I need to explain myself to anyone in authority, or ...

I've noticed that the more authoritative and truthful what you're saying is, (read:the less you have to *think* about what you're going to say), the more fluent you'll be. This makes perfect sense in ...

Anyone else almost perfectly fluent when giving someone a direct answer to a question with authority, but struggle when telling a story?

Hey. Just joined the wonderful world of Reddit and was so ecstatic to find this sub. My story. I'm 29 years old, and I've been a covert stutterer ever since I can remember. When I first realised I had...

Personal conclusions

Personal conclusions Here are some points I think causes stuttering or what can help it: 1) Emphasis is not placed on the right letters when speaking which can lead to misunderstandings or the need o...

I actually find that I almost always stutter a lot less when I'm doing something not scripted i.e. answering questions. Guess it's just the different kinds of stutters. Thanks for the info!...

My stutter developed from trying too deliberately to slow down... so I'd say try to get in the mindset of enjoying the words, as if you're singing- or in my case as if your explaining something really...

My father works in software in a fairly high position, I'm the stutterer but my dad has had 0 issues with any stuttering co workers, especially as more chat (writing instead of speaking) features are ...

On a scale of 1-10 i would say around a 7. I get word blocks every other sentence usually. But if I'm talking about something i love like movies, i will only stutter if I'm giving an opinion. If i rec...

Like many of you, I was born with a stutter, and it had slowly become the dominating obstacle in my life. Although at a young age I was excelling in primary school, getting into the country's top 1-3%...

OT here but here is something I read in an article long back. I think it sums up what stuttering feels like to a stutterer. I hadn't ever read a more giving explanation. >I imagine that for the no...

Feels like an obstacle course, I guess. You know where you want to go, but there's all this clutter in the way, and it's a struggle to get through all of it. Sometimes you even have to give up and run...

This may not be the right thread but fuck it, I don't stutter often; but when I do I'm trying to communicate ideas or information to others rapidly. I process information at light speed in my head a...

We don´t call them doner kebabs where i live so it would sound kinda weird. But i have actually pronounced it "Chebab" once and it was much easier to say. When i ordered a kebab earlier today i felt t...
