I used to have trouble with my W’s but now it’s become more fluent if you keep saying the word you’re having trouble with. However, I’ve been stuck on WOR’s or WAR’s for the longest times....

Oh trust me, they don't. Atleast where i am from and from my experience they don't. No one at my school knew that i stutter, some of my family members didn't. My friends and people i meet, dont know...

It's sort of similar to stuttering on purpose by prolonging the first sound of a word. It works on every letter too, just imagine what the letter sounds like and then purposefully prolong the sound. ...

Oh no no no. All stutterers share similarities. I wasn't saying only this and only that. There's too much to say here. I'll come back to this post later. I have to sleep unfortunately. And reddi...

Your original comment stated that covert stutterers do silent blocks while overt stutterers have repetition. I was just saying that's super not the case. Overt vs covert doesn't change the characteriz...

If I recall from speech therapy, there are three main types of stuttering. Blocks, repetitions, and I can’t recall the name but the one where you draw out the soft sounds like s: “ssssssssssssssure” I...

No that character of my stutter is the same. I still have blocks. I still have repetition. I still have elongation. The severity of it has decreased, that's all. ...

Do you have any citation that blocks and repetition favor covert and overt stutterers respectively? I've never heard this before and it's not my own experience. As I understand it, some people just st...

Sure! Blocks are a common part of stutter. So is repetition, of course. And then there's the prolongation. It's all part of our terrible repertoire. ;-D And you're right, speech therapy can help you ...

I apologize for my lack of formatting I was kind of rushing the post a bit. but yes you listed a few things I find myself doing. When I first start a sentence I feel like I repeat those words a few ti...

I was hoping maybe someone could relate rather than a diagnosis. If I did have a stutter I know its not a bad one but when I start talking is when it happens ...

I have a discussion tomorrow and I’m really nervous.

I have a discussion tomorrow and I’m really nervous. Tomorrow I have to do a discussion with my classmates for a book we read. I’m trying to have a positive attitude but I can’t help feel nervous. Dur...

“Here” can’t say it without blocking or saying “yeah” I just carry out the y and I get laughed at lmao it’s not good...

Sounds like a mix of stuttering and cluttering. But I'm not an expert....

My son has developed a stutter, and I’m lost on how to help.

My son has developed a stutter, and I’m lost on how to help. My oldest is five, and over the last year has developed a pretty severe stutter. He is in school and has already started speech therapy. It...

Right now the severity of the stutter is what's preventing me from having conversations with people and connecting with them. The blocks are very difficult to deal with, the prolongations are incredib...

Yeah, there is a difference between someone stuttering and someone *being* a stutterer. This guy is not a stutterer, he is actual a very fluent speaker--therefore it makes sense that the anomaly of su...

Interesting I’m the exact opposite. Talking to someone one on one I’m smooth AF (most of the time) but when it comes to reading, I’m toast ...

It's actually the opposite for me. I find reading text harder than spontaneous talking. Do you find that its easier to say words if you change the pronunciation of some of the vowels? ...
