I'm not sure what you mean "other ailments that affect my speech" Can you describe those?...

I don't know what you're getting at, can you say it another way?...

I don't take it to be true, but I take it to be relevant to my interactions with others....

I don't think we can rely on how society views stuttering to be reliable. If we take that to be the standard then our stuttering is the result of some internal psychological conflict, the result of so...

the less anxious I am, the less nervouce I am, which brings about a slew of other ailments that affect my speech. Not to say that confidence is the opposite of anxiety, but to a degree, anxiety does a...

I think it has a lot to do with how society interprets stuttering - if you look at any character that stutters in any fictional story, not one of them *just stutters* (that I know about, anyway). It's...

As a researcher, I'm interested in mechanisms ... do you have a guess for why reduced stuttering results in increased confidence? Is stuttering severity more salient to 'confidence' than stuttering ...

so many for you it seems confidence might equate to anxiety? So, the less anxious you feel the more likely you are to feel 'confident'?...

It's about 1% of a population will stutter. So, most cities of any size will have a small community of people who stutter. Like, my university has 48,000 ish people. That's still 480 people who stutte...

well, we've got 7 million inhabitans. stuttering is, what a few percent? maybe even less. it's a lot of people if you put them in a room together (would recommend a great big hall, though), but outsid...

That's crazy. It's so bizarre that there isn't really anything for stuttering around the world relative to anything else. There's over 3 million alone in the US who stutter, but there really isn't muc...

hm, i'm not sure we have one. i mean, i've never been involved with any, and can't remember any off the top of my head. there are speech therapists available all over the country, but since i've never...

I'd say generally yes. Confident days are days where I'm not an anxiety ridden mess. I have more clarity and am more in touch with reality, I have goals, things I look forward to and am generally more...

I don't really know of any successful stutter blogs really. But I can't really take on the whole world, which is why I'm more trying to find a niche of some sort to at least exploit for the time being...

there generally aren't many "stutter blogs" around, are there? and not a lot of people know a lot of about it, either. i guess there are plenty of angles to work with, from the personal to the practic...

I think less stuttering can cause greater confidence, not the other way around. I think less anxiety can cause less stuttering, but I don't see anxiety as being the opposite of confidence....

Maybe it's not social anxiety, but this advice helped me, thanks broha...

interesting. Do you think that the days in which you feel more "confident" are days where you feel more in control of your speech?...

Ah, yes sorry! PWS is People who stutter! I try to avoid phones too, but it's easier for me to talk and stutter in an interview with a random person if they can't see my face. And I'm able to be in m...

It's interesintg because I've experienced brief spells of confidence and I also experience brief spells of fluency, they are not the same thing and for me, one doesn't necessarily have something to do...
