Eye contact enemy #1

Eye contact enemy #1 It’s gotten so bad. I’m at such a low point I don’t know how to pull myself out of it. I can’t even look my girlfriend in the eyes when I talk. I hit a block and instantly close...

Congrats! You stutter, it is a part of you, you should come to terms with it and try not so hard to hide it. So what if people know? It isn't a big deal. "100 people watching, some were looking at m...

If the idea is that the stutterer hears themselves speaking fluently, then almost all stutterers don't stutter when they are alone. I occasionally record myself speaking alone, I even sometimes put o...

I had a very similar situation at my work last year. I asked a question after my colleague gave a presentation and really struggled to get my words out. It was awful, as I had never disclosed my stamm...

I think that being self-conscious has positive effects and negative effects. I argue that too much self-consciousness (about your 'stutter triggers' for example) can lead to more anxiety. My argumen...

What helped me not get so mad at people is convincing myself of the fact that they are confused. People do dumb things when they're confused. They have knee-jerk reactions, they conform with others if...

Blocking is not a core disfluency behavior. It feels like it is but it's not. I have learned to not block but I still stutter. Nothing is locking your vocal folds other than you. You are doing it and ...

It depends. I might stutter more as I get close someone because I'm less reserved so I speak more because I've let my guard down a bit and less concerned about showing my foibles. Then if I get even c...
