For me, public speaking is difficult, I can lose sleep over it and spend hours practicing my speech. I think the thought of stuttering leads to anxiety and the anxiety leads to more stuttering. I thin...

I've cut it for around 3 years.But I started again 1 - 2 years ago. Now I play for around 2 - 3 hours and not everyday. But I want to reduce it even more....

Boom. That's awesome I found cutting out video games was the most impactful habit change that helped me in my journey. Have you tried cutting it out before or is this the first shot?...

Thank you for your support. I agree with you. The last big improvement was when I started the abdominal breathing + mindfulness. But I am not dedicated as before. And the presentation last time kind ...

I want to reduce spending time in playing computer games and listening too much music, for I feel I have not much energy for other activities. New habits: speaking more in public, more physical activ...

The thing is I don’t fight it at all, It just happens and takes control whenever it wants. I actually do a lot of social things too so I’m constantly exposing it. It really isn’t me who’s the problem...

You can try it for a week or more just to test in a long term how it will affect you. Some other things you can try is : Don't fight the stuttering, just relax. The fight, the resistence themselves c...

Absolutely. Keep in my mind this is what has helped me and may not work for all. This might be long but I’ll do my best. As I was researching stuttering I became convinced that stuttering was not re...

I agree 100%. I would start feeling pity for myself and embarrassed every time I would stutter. Then one day I was like fuck it I want to be happy and stop feeling this way, I want to do things I actu...

I’m a pharmacist in my 40s. I remember hospital rotations during pharmacy school where I’d round with the docs and there was always a few words that gave me trouble. Very embarrassing. My stutter be...

This is absolutely key. Forcing yourself to stutter in public puts you in control of your speech. As stutterers we feel like we have no control. My therapist had me do this where I forced myself to st...

Reading this reminds me of myself a few years ago. This is what helped me. My brother and I were smoking weed one night having a really high type conversation. My brother ask me if I can force myself ...

That’s a great way of explaining it. A habit of rumination that puts us into the viscous cycle of fear -> stutter -> It’s also akin to OCD where a stuttering block is like a wall we try to get...

I used to have a bad stutter and I still stutter now, it’s just not nearly as bad. What I did was a. Get speech therapy which kinda helped but not really and b. Put myself into situations that would b...

This would be a great learning tool! The thought of it is giving me mad anxiety though, spend all my time trying not to stutter not doing it on purpose 😅...

I just did whatever prevented me from stuttering severely. When I was a kid I had almost no control over it, then growing up I started to hide it by making a "click" noise with my mouth whenever I enc...

Actually, yeah, kinda same, I started volunteering which involves a lot of cold calls (calling strangers), organizing meetings and stuff, it's still something that I'm not entirely comfortable with, b...

That is amazing feedback, thank you. I really want to learn and feel uncomfortable during this, becuase it would only be a fraction of what people have to go through on a day-to-day basis....

Thank you so much! I want to be able to convey this as genuinely as possible, so I appreciate your feedback....

Thank you for your honest reply. As a black man, I could not really think of any other analogy, and I am terrified of offending someone who cannot chose when or when not to stutter. I will make sure t...
