Stuttering with a mask?

Stuttering with a mask? Has anyone noticed that their mask ends up slipping down below their nose when they start stuttering a little more heavily? I've been noticing it and am curious if I'm alone 😬...

Its sort of like a block. For me, I can't say Ball if it is the first word of sentence or if it is by itself. When I saw Cab, I have no problem. I think this Is because the words flow together. It is ...

Snowboarding the other day, for insight I am 39, two guys come screaming down the hill and get in a fight in front of me. I break it up, accidentally popping the one kid in the lip. I stuttered afte...

Im a heavy metal fan. I'm a huge ozzy fan. Ozzy has parkinson's. That's why he stutters when he talks, but when he sings it's clear and no stuttering. So there could be a link to it some how. I tap my...

Exactly, why should we apologize for something we were born with. We shouldn't have too, it's more than just a mental thing. When you are stuck on a word your throat muscles tense up, you feel like yo...

I don’t know if it’s an actual mimic. That was just the only word I could think of. It happens anytime I hear another stutter. I end up stuttering in the same pattern as the person doing it. I refuse ...

Not at all. When a lot of us stutter, we get out of breath trying to push us through the block. Breathing exercises keep our breathing calm, as we're able to control our breathing more. Stuttering mo...
