Do you guys stutter whilst recording a voicenote?

Do you guys stutter whilst recording a voicenote? Hey, I was just curious about this because I never stutter when I’m talking to myself alone or creating a voice recording. However, when I’m recording...

Nah doesn’t work for me because I can talk absolutely perfectly by myself for hours, all day non stop, not one stutter. Moment someone comes in the room or I know I’m being recorded, boom blocked. It ...

I'm sorry to hear that but by skipping the icebreaker you are just enabling your fear and not really going to get better by avoiding the situation. I would stutter during the icebreakers, and during m...

Yeah I don't want to feel like the unique guy with a rare disability on the first day of the class....

I'm usually pretty positive and pro-therapy. Let me take that hat off. High school was rough. I was angry about my stutter. My anger was more of a problem than my stutter when it came to socializatio...

>It’s just such an incredibly vulnerable feeling to have someone witness you struggling to communicate something simple 100%. That’s something I struggle with. I don’t really want to let people in...

For my whole life I've been trying to figure why the very act of speech blocks just feels bad, even though the other person could be warm and receptive I think you hit it right on the head. It's a vu...

Podcast hangout episode is out

Podcast hangout episode is out Hello,I want to say thank you to all who loved the idea of the podcast hangout,so I hosted my first guest from this space and I learnt alot from him,he talked about his ...

>A block happens bc you are trying too hard to hide repetitions. I was blocking a few times/sentence. As soon as I got the courage to let ppl hear my repetitions, my blocks quickly and dramatical...

Not stuttering/stuttering less when you're alone is a pretty common experience with people who stutter, I personally still stutter sometimes even when I'm talking to myself. There's been pretty strong...

My theory is this - we block more because we are trying soooo hard to hide our stutter/ repetitions. After a bad period, there’s less pressure to hide bc everyone clearly knows. Same reason lots o...

A few years ago, I put off calling my landlord to fix broken heat/hot water in dead of winter. I choose to spend 3 days wearing a coat inside and not showering to avoid the embarrassment. I’ve since...

That’s ok. I spent a few years considering myself to have a disabling stutter (all blocks that I “skillfully” circumvented by pretending, word switching, and flat out lying). During that time, I hun...

The advice I’ll give you is the advice I would give anyone who has something “unsexy” about them that’s dragging their confidence down. Try to find the things about yourself that you do find sexy. T...

The way you're saying it seems fine and kind. If she is annoyed with anything, it's probably with her own automatic apologizing. If you're not doing it every single time when she apologizes I wouldn'...

Someone actually told me that at work once! And at first I felt defensive but after I was glad they did. So basically I apologized because I noticed it made me feel better and made my stutter let go...

So lets be open about it. When you say you don't experience this, do you mean those words that you are practicing to substitute you can then say in the future or do they become a no go from then on? ...

Oh, how do you think recording yourself will help? Instead of coming up with some other new ways to improve, you could try what I suggested. It gets to the root cause, and is the recommended metho...

I think there’s so much resistance to disclosing in some way bc people think it makes them look weak. When in fact, not being to ask for the exact meal you want, make a casual joke, explain why you t...

Even if my stutter were magically cured it won't get rid of all the bad feelings that come with growing up with a stutter. It is what it is....
