Me too broo, what I'm doing right now is I kept on talking regardless I'm stuttering....

I didn’t say stuttering was a learned behavior. I said blocks and secondary behaviors are learned....

First of all. It isn't a rant. Your feelings are valid and very common among stutterers. I had a presentation recently and it was a stuttering car crash. I even had a beer before, which sometimes hel...

Greatly reduced its impact But there is so much to say on it, I wouldn't know where to start unless we talk about topics here and there.  From mindset to a better overall understanding of it and not r...

Delaying Speech blocks when speaking to higher authority figures

Delaying Speech blocks when speaking to higher authority figures I'm going to a job fair tommorow, and I am going to have to stop running from my horrendous speech blocks. Like lots of other people, o...

I feel like I would be so much farther in life if I didn’t have a stutter.

I feel like I would be so much farther in life if I didn’t have a stutter. I started a new career, and currently I’m just thinking how much farther I would be if I didn’t have a speech impediment. I h...

So Hard…

So Hard… I am fighting the stuttering already a long time. Some days its Better, but sometimes its really bad. For example, if i need to say something in front of some Group of people, then i just get...

Fighting your stutter is the vicious cycle. I suggest reading my articles to find out why. Accepting it doesn’t mean we aren’t trying to reduce struggle and tension. Again, there are some good stutter...

Ive had some success the last few weeks. I’ve uncovered a way to overcome most blocks and stutters. I still have them. But I have come up with a routine where I slow down and reset and try again. This...

That's what I believe too and have been espousing here, to greater and lesser success lol. And I just mean even when your stuttering isn't smooth and easy, that has to also be ok. But I agree unlearni...

First big boy presentation tomorrow

First big boy presentation tomorrow For context I’m a college student doing an internship, and tomorrow morning I have my first big boy presentation. Essentially I’ll be presenting the progress of my ...

Totally agree with your assessment of blocks - I think it’s a disservice to consider them primary bx. They (along with all avoidance behaviors) happen bc of your fear of others hearing your repetiti...

Before, I stuttered when I was very scared or around authorities. But over time this left me completely cowardly and my self-esteem didn't even go down the drain....

Most of my friends have left, and what's bad for me is that I'm a social person and I can't go out and meet people because of my stuttering. These days, especially this year, there have been embarrass...

It's not a disfluency it's a avoidance behavior. They are avoiding the disfluency by using this avoidance behavior to avoid the disfluency ...

Usually I write down all my details on my phone notes and show them that. For my doctor i switched to one that doesn't have a reception, but has a self-check-in system....

Hey man I completely understand what you’re going through. Tbh I was surprised reading this because I felt like I was reading a description of myself. I’m in the exact same situation, been living in J...

Introducing myself is the hardest thing for me sometimes because there isn't another word I can replace it with. Going to the pharmacy is the toughest time I have. Lately I'll just give them my licens...

I have a stutter and also autism - anyone else the same?

I have a stutter and also autism - anyone else the same? One of my biggest passions (due to autism) is learning foreign languages but my stutter is much worse when I try speaking anything other than E...

Yep! For my first few interviews, I wrote down so much and would essentially practice lines- those were the ones I stuttered the most. Eventually, I convinced myself that I didn’t need so much prep, a...
