Stuttering linked to higher intelligence and reasons for that? Occasionally, there are articles that come out, such [this one](http://guardianlv.com/2013/08/stuttering-children-more-intelligent-accord...

I've already ruled out ever being happy overall. My mood is heavily dependent on my rate of fluency. My communication issues go well beyond the "taking longer to say it" aspect (I'm sure this applies ...

A lot of things you said resonated with me, mostly the anxiety stuff, along with being unable to express yourself, that's definitely my biggest gripe with having a stutter, feeling stifled emotionally...

I find this also, mostly because when speaking with people, all of my energy goes into not tripping up and blocking on my words and not what I actually want to express. It's unfortunate that we don't ...

Just cannot do presentations

Just cannot do presentations Conversationally, I would say that I have a mild stutter. The moment I have to do a presentation my stutter amps up to moderate to severe. Whenever there is a possibility ...

This happens with me too. I discussed this with my speech therapist and what he said made sense. It is because there is no substituting the words in a predecided text. So your mind anticipates blocks ...

I stutter when what I'm saying matters. That's the super simple version....

Definitely. If I have written a speech I would stutter pretty badly. But if I just learn my topic and don't prepare any speech but just speak from what I know, I am significantly more fluent. Wish I f...

Something weird I've noticed with fluency

Something weird I've noticed with fluency Is it just me or does anyone else stutter substantially less when talking without prior knowledge of what you're going to say, just talking off the top of you...

My pet theory is that introducing is hard, because you can't substitute your name for a different word if you find it difficult at the moment. It's the same reason people have generally more trouble w...

Just to add on here. The worst is when I am with a group of people and have something to say, but I start to stutter and take too long so someone else decides to chime in and the conversation moves to...

ARGH, definitely. Most of the time I'm able to just say "eh, no one really cares" and work my way through the block, but comedic timing is one of those things that stuttering completely messes up. I d...

I stutter in normal speech as well, but I can definitely recognize what you're talking about. Most of a person's stutter is psychological, there's the old iceberg analogy that only 10% is actually vis...

Wish I had some sort of answer to what's happening. Dealing with the same thing. Sometimes It happens in daily conversation aswell though so not quite the same, but definitely more when I think too lo...

Stutter worst when I've been planning what I want to say

Stutter worst when I've been planning what I want to say I'm not sure what I've got right now could be called a bad stutter, but it's quite a big part of my day to day life. It seems to only come arou...

Introduction

Introduction Long time listener, first time caller. Or, something like that. I've been an avid Reddit reader for a while now and recently decided to post on the forum and reach out to everyone. I'm n...

I would agree with all your answers. 1) Sometimes slowing down and pausing does help me, but sometimes the other person(s) you may be talking to will simply help you finish out your sentence. That m...

One of my best presentations was one that I gave that was a "choose your own adventure" type of presentation. I broke the presentation down into a game for the audience to choose which part of the pre...

modulation and fast speaking problem

modulation and fast speaking problem I had speaking speed and modulation problems. I talked very fast and modulated poorly, im guessing because of my stutter, like i wanted to say the thing fast and g...

It gets better. I am 23 and have been in a constant state of "what is gonna happen when I get into the real world" panic for all of college and am on the tail end of it. You realize that people don't ...
