Haha, no worries! I was just curious because I couldn't find it!...

Confidence

Confidence I often see people write that "confidence" is directly relevant to stuttering. Or establishing "confidence" is necessary (and sufficient?) to overcoming stuttering. There was a very inter...

No not yet. I'm about to. I was up to my elbows in matlab all day :-/...

That's what it's all about, my friend. When your stutter no longer holds you back, it's no longer a disorder....

I share your pain. First time poster in the sub, but long time lurker. I struggle to hold a meaningful conversation sometimes. The words just won't come out of my head. They just get stuck. I have a...

(just to be sure, >PWS People With Stuttering? haven't seen the abbreviation before.) funny thing, now that you mention phones. i tend to want to _avoid_ phones. conversation is typically an eff...

You make a very good first point. But I still have many aspects in my life that I allow my speech to affect me. I still use it as an excuse when I don't want to talk to people. I just graduated with a...

maybe it's even the other way around - like, you got confident _becase_ you got better at handling your speech... not that we need to establish causal orders to discuss these concepts, of course. may...

Did you make a new thread?...

You might just be one voice, but I'm sure there are many others who will see the piece the same way that you do, and I want to make it available to all audiences. When I get a chance, I will take a fi...

well, i'm just _one_ voice. don't feel like you have to take the criticism, just because it's there. might just be the way _i_ look at things. like, [i was writing something for another OP over here]...

i'd rather not want to see people writing in here getting "diagnosed" by redditors. i mean, "social anxiety" is rather specific. we should at least get more information from OP, and even then, i feel ...

Seems the problem here isnt actually your stuttering, its good old social anxiety. And the only thing that really helps there is exposure. I know its hard, but try to not focus on yourself while in a...

I totally get what you mean and where you're coming from now. Thank you for clarifying that. I must not have wrote as clearly as I thought I did (a very common problem for me). I didn't mean for it ...

right, so, there's a couple of things we need to take a look at here. first of all, i'd like you to reflect on what exactly goes on "in your head" when you're speaking, or trying to speak, as it were...

you go ahead and post in whichever manner you like! :) feel free to refer to this subthread in particular, just so neither of us have to repeat ourselves (as we all now, _repetition_ can be... dull). ...

So, if I can jump in here .... I think this is a very valuable discussion. I think you've both made some points that I would agree with and some that I would disagree with. I think this conversation...

Stuttering and Conversation

Stuttering and Conversation I'm tired of this. If you knew me, you might say my stuttering isn't that bad. "I barely hear you stutter". Alright then, I guess I'm a covert stutterer. Life is great rig...

I'm also in high school! its pretty rough with presentations, group projects, and class discussions. ...

Rule sticky's are always good. In regards to rule #2, i think some people just need an accepting place where they can come and vent frustrations to people who understand that they might not be able t...
