Stuttering has almost certainly greatly contributed to my introversion. But I've been a stutterer (in the sense that I recognized my disfluency in relation to other kids) since first grade, so it's im...

I think it's hard to tell. Stutter definitely leaves some marks on you that you are not aware of. I think that I am mostly extrovert person. I like going out and talking to people, though in some mode...

I have not lied per se. I may not answer a question in a group setting to which I know the answer. My biggest thing was I used what I called "lazy" words. Ex: I have had cats my whole life and ins...

Bad habits really catch up with you after you are 40. Edit: I am more self-conscious about my looks but less self-conscious about my stutter. If someone wants to make fun of me, that is their issue...

I was once hooked up to an EEG for a research project, and at the end we had some free time. The researcher asked me to do some various tasks like singing, reading aloud and conversing. When I sang (...

Certainly an interesting case, then. But I can't help you with an explanation. Maybe you were pretending to be alone/subtly singing/rapping... (morbid humor allowed? I hope so!)...

I have stuttered terribly since I was 5. It pretty much went away in my 20s and 30s but now it has come back. Why? Self-esteem. I am feeling very self conscious about my looks since I am getting o...

Nope! :) Well, I mean, we probably all have periods/moments with fluency, but 6 months?... How long have you been stuttering?...

No, I meant that anxiety exacerbates stuttering. That's not exactly a huge mystery. High emotions of any sort exacerbate stuttering. But peoples' chronic disfluencies aren't caused by cowardice or a f...
