I gave a presentation in school years ago. Those days I was really shy and extremely aware of my stutter and also my class mates where assholes. The presentation had a rocky start but I eased into it...

I'm just going to repost my response to another poster. It's not a current project. It's a lifelong project and a commitment. It's a state of mind. It's viewing stuttering holistically. It's a...

You didn't answer the question. I don't get the chicken-egg reference. I don't know where you got it into your head that speaking more will cure stuttering. Thats such a simplistic way of thinking...

It's a chicken-egg scenario. Stuttering is not caused by not speaking enough. I know full well what my capabilities are and what is or isn't causing them, so I don't need evangelising. I agree to a p...

I think your afraid to get out of your comfort zone and are in denial--we are terrible speakers. To be an effective speaker, including those who don't stutter, takes practice. Stutterers are behind ...

Does anyone ever wonder what life would be like if you hadn't developed a stutter?

Does anyone ever wonder what life would be like if you hadn't developed a stutter? I always wonder what I would be like if I never developed a stutter. I feel like I'd be a lot more extroverted and wo...

Are you going to advertise that you stutter at the start? I want to say that stutter doesn't hold you back from speaking your mind, you can still speak your mind, you'll just do it while stuttering. ...

People don't stutter because they're not as good at talking as normal people, I don't think you quite get how it works. Practising talking might work for some, but it's not the answer for most people...

I'm a 50+ year stutterer and most people don't know I have a problem. I just started blocking words and I found my comfort zone through the years. I am happily married to someone that knows my conditi...

im turning 20 too soon :) feeling kind of the same way, but im trying to talk to strangers more currently. practice is the best way to progress...

my grandfather and father have a stutter, but both are in denial about it. ...

I would also advise you to talk openly about your stutter. Sometimes it happens that this is taking a big pressure from you and maybe you will be able to talk quite fluently while you are explaining i...

I can't really come up with an explanation, but for me it's a lot easier to talk on the telephone with friends than with strangers. But I think that doesn't neccessarily have to do with the fact that ...

>maybe some word changes here and there, but pretty fluent So, could your stutter in english be due to the fact that you don't have a big enough vocabulary to make substitutions?...

I used to start most responses with a similar phrase that I knew I could get out fluently. Once you can do that use the inertia of that to finish the sentence. ...

Thank you for the kind words! Naturally my speech becomes really fluent save for a few bumps and slight blocks. Unfortunately my fluency plummets once I actually go out and try socializing with other ...

If you want to do avoidance reduction therapy, the biggest thing that trips me up and holds back progress is not being super clear and focused with my assignments and moving up too quickly. You really...

Wow, I use this too. My GF tells me to stop saying like, but it's the only word that helps me not to stutter so much....

Well this post was longer than I hoped. I included a TL:DR section at the bottom but you really need to understand how to be your own therapist to make this work. Well I really want to point out that...

I think I hit a brick wall during a company social (may possibly cost me an invite back) I think my stutter is caused by the environment I'm in and the type of person I'm talking to. Anyone else has this and how to improve?
