Yeah, honestly, I find that when I'm having to rethink and focus on what I'm trying to say, that's when I stutter. Most often, when people say what or huh after I say something is when it kicks in, ...

Definitely, you and many other PWS know well in advance what word we are going to stutter on. We may anticipate or scan for feared words \[future-focused\], also often we excessively check the outcome...

I realised I was stuttering with close ones because I wasn't nervous. It was a complete opposite to how I was before. I found myself not stuttering when I'm nervous but not too nervous. I realised ...

My observation is that . When I am speaking to others, my mind knows already that in which word you will stuck as from past experience. So when I try to pronounce the same word in which I have badly s...

Yes, that’s how it works for me. I know well in advance what word I’m going to stutter on. You’re mind is like a computer and processes information so quickly that it’s scanning 15+ words ahead in th...

This concept of private “flow” has fucked with me forever. I’ve been searching and finding the make up of creating flow. Stuttering only tip of the iceberg. It gives us a doorway. Also wild how it...

Do you subconsciously convince yourself you're gonna stutter when you speak? (like a deep subconscious self-belief that makes you stutter)

Yeah, I also do that, I usually pitch it a bit higher or lower depending on who I am impersonating. Do you also stutter when you're reading? Because for me, it's just when I start, and then I read pre...

Thanks for your response. I believe it's a mix of fears, like Judgment, fear of saying something wrong/awkward, fear of stuttering because your brain now associate the talking with the stutter, so it ...

That's interesting. I have a somewhat similar problem. Often, I forget the words I was trying to say and then have to describe it with vocabulary of elementary school level, if even. This is only the ...

For me it's more of like, if I'm just talking randomly with a person I can usually get by without stuttering, but as soon as I have to answer a specific question, or if I get really focused on a topic...

It's obviously bothering you a lot. If I may be so bold... What else are you carrying around? Other than your speech, are there other burdens you carry? Things you have bottled or buried. Shames or s...

I stutter when going on a date and when communicate with people higher status than me First time poster here. I'm 21 yr old male.I'm working on my body,Journaling,not smoking or drinking and have a ve...

Again I think it is good advice as part of a good speaking technique. They don't explicitly mention this at the Mcquire Program but I've added it to my technique. You need to think about what and how ...

Yeah man for me it’s definitely a deep subconscious self belief that makes me stutter. I feel like if I numbed that somehow like a “robot” I’d be fluent...

Had to give a presentation to about 15 people I mainly knew. Had to ad-lib it, so I could try and be somewhat fluent. Haven’t done it again, thought....

I would guess that you've developed presenting as a skill, and compared to a conversation, you have full control over the pace and flow of your words while presenting. People are patient and giving yo...

I am the same way. When presenting in front of multiple people I do not have that direct eye contact and connection with one specific person. If I am in a conversation though then I feel like I am mor...

Ecopipam was a drug without an application. AFAIK, Ecopipam ran out of runway with regards to stuttering. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/ylzjgt/ecopipam\_for\_stuttering\_taken\_off\_ema...

What's up with ecopipam as of now?

What's up with ecopipam as of now? Anyone knows how the trials are going with ecopipam? I know drug development takes a very loooong time, but I can't seem to find a great lot info about how the tests...
