I have not, but that's on my to do list now. Thanks...
Same here. Have you checked out John Harrisons book and the stuttering hexagon? ...
Never been drunk but I've been a little tipsy. I have experienced the same thing, my speech is quite a bit better....
I've noticed this. It's not a cure; the effect is less over time (same with other depressant drugs), so please don't become an alcoholic. Why it works? Alcohol makes it easier to be out of control. T...
Oh, no doubt. I'm a *very* image obsessed person. OCD, Anxiety, and occasional depression don't help either. I'm sure there's a lot going on mentally that I'm not actively conscious of. ...
Perhaps subconsciously you do care about how these people view you. ...
It helped me for as long as I was there. When I stopped going, it stopped helping. I found that was also the case with any treatment I received for my anxiety and depression, so it could also be just ...
Yeah that makes sense. Did speech therapy help you at all? I'm looking into finding one that I can at least just talk to about my stuttering. ...
I had a speech therapist once who told me something to the effect of that the anxiety doesn't cause the stuttering, but can make it worse. That sounds about right. The problem is that the stuttering a...
I have anxiety as well and am always curious as to how they interact....
Sometimes, thinking about it (or not at all) can make it worse, so I'm not sure. Maybe when I'm sober and am not consciously thinking about it, it's there in the background. Thanks for the comment....
True, but sometimes when I'm around family members or other very close people, I stutter sometimes, and I couldn't care less what they thought of me. Not in a bad way, but like, they're my family. The...
True. I think confidence plays a huge role. For example, if I'm talking to a child about my job duties, I probably won't stutter. Mainly because I'm not worried about being wrong (how would they kno...
It might have to do with alcohol being a depressant. Maybe it makes it harder to over-tighten your vocal cords? Might also be confidence, of course. I notice a similar thing, although it's not entire...
When you're drunk, are you thinking or worried about your speech as much? Do you ever speak without thinking about your speech when you're sober and stutter less? There you go....
I've noticed the same thing, but I can't explain it. Someone else (a doctor, speech pathologist) probably can. ...
It's because your not thinking about your speech....
I have noticed the same thing. I think for me it's because I relax more when I'm drinking and don't monitor my speech as much. I also feel like I speak more slowly and calmer when drunk, which is nice...
Not stuttering when drunk?
Not stuttering when drunk? Once I've had a few, I stop stuttering. Hardly any blocks, little anxiety, etc. Is this because when we drink we become more confident? We talk with more assertiveness? Our...
It gets better. I was same as you at your age and I felt miserable. But now that I am 21, it got much better. I still stutter, but I have more positive attitude about it. Just embrace your fear, tal...
