Word substitution when you don't feel like you can say a word. Ordering what's easy to say Not what you really want. Not being able to say your own name. Choosing to stay silent. Feeling like your no...

It effects everyone differently from rates, to severity, to central areas of difficulty. Personally, I struggle with a lisp, stutter, AND cluttering. All three have been present in my life ever sinc...

Thank you, that's a really interesting read. It's the secondary behaviors and coping mechanism that I really wasn't aware of until I started looking into this more. I actually can't believe how varied...

I personally struggle more with blocks and almost never with repetitions. Whenever I feel blocks/repetitions coming up I stop and try an easy onset on the word. This is one of the things I learned fro...

They are learned behaviors that are not neurological in origin. Blinks, tics, teeth grinding, breaking eye contact. These are not typical in neurogenic stutters....

Thank you for sharing and you definitely just gave me several new words that I'm going to have to go Google now ha! What do you define as secondary behaviors?...

Yeah, I love when I’m trying to tell someone something and they are listening and I can’t spit it out and they look at me like I either have 5 heads or with pity like I said my cat died....

Kudos for including a character like us :) It’s always amazing when someone asks the sub for input on what stuttering is actually like in real people, because in movies it can be exaggerated or presen...

Masks impede too much air flow. I have to take deep breaths to pronounce sounds starting with th, tr and h so masks are actually a disadvantage for me....

I dont stutter that much in regular conversation but when I'm asked to rid anything is class shit hits the fan. So yeah I've had my fair share of "oh god here he goes" and "shit this guys". But one th...

Hi there! I'm sure massive blocks like that are familiar to lots of stutterers! I'm just going to tell you what I do. I'm not a speech therapist or anything but I am a stammerers and my own particu...

When I was a kid it was “m-m-mayo” type of stuttering. Now it’s like the vowel/sound wont come out, and then my head starts to bob up and down (when it’s bad)....

Do I stutter, or is this something else entirely?

Do I stutter, or is this something else entirely? Hi I stumbled over this sub when I was trying to figure some of this out. I'm not sure if I'm actually stuttering, if it's some other disorder, or if ...

I feel you there 1000% There are times I can't get the words out and I end up ordering something else. Then when I bring the "wrong order" home I feel like I need to come up with excuses like i forg...

God damn look at all you wonderful bastards. Yeah, that’s not me, OP. I start stuttering like a robotic chicken who just took a bath when I get hammered. My dance moves are on point though, at leas...
