I read this anxiety/low stress explanation again and again, yet I only began stuttering a few months ago, as a 55 yr old adult. I had absolutely no anxiety whatsoever regarding speaking and yet I sudd...

Hi, your story is interesting, albeit unfortunate for you. May I ask: do you stutter when praying alone? And if so, do you believe that God listens to your actual speech? Is there a difference in...
Hi, Sorry to hear about your stuttering. It turns out that one of the earliest phenomenon studied in stuttering research was exactly what you experience: people who stutter are often much more flue...
Interesting analogy. Anticipating the gunshot is different than anticipating stuttering, though, because it doesn’t involve fear. The real question is, does anticipating stuttering make it more likel...

What is wrong with me.
What is wrong with me. Why is it that I can be perfectly fine when speaking alone, but as soon as I start talking to another person, I panic, struggle to breathe, and stutter over nearly every word? ...
Thank you. I've had this issue on and off since age 4-5, and then constantly from age 7 (genetic and chronic anxiety), with almost all words, including my name. I had speech therapy but it didn't hel...
I explained in the other comment that *detecting a stimulus, labeling, perceiving a threat, emotional attachment (etc), blaming and perceiving this as to be avoided*. Is okay. and this doesn't necessa...
In my opinion: Let's assume that we experience the following vicious circle: >**Vicious circle:** We perceive stuttering anticipation. We view it as a problem. We fear it. We blame it. We rely on th...

Im 32 and have been w a decent amount of girls but stuttering makes it SO much more difficult. You look like an idiot and it makes you look less confident. Ive abused pills and alcohol to try and calm...
