I began to talk with my hands more as it helps me break up the blocks in my speech and helps keep me relaxed. I also try to speak softly whenever possible because when I get excited I tend to talk fas...

This might sound weird but for me when I wake up every day, I can usually tell how bad I’m going to stutter that day. My jaw usually feels tight, almost like I can’t open my mouth all the way. Sooo...

As an aside, it's interesting to see her gestures and movements support her speech, and also get locked up at points, coinciding with stutters. She takes most all of the stutters head on, and all tho...

You noticed that inhaling makes it worse. I used to do that, too. During a block there is a panic sensation aka fight or flight response. Your diaphragm tightens and you take a shallow, quick breat...

Yes I understand. I don't get the biting, but my mouth also twitches. My eyes also twitch, and I make a clicking sound as well. Stuttering is heavily tied up with anxiety and confidence. I feel better...

Stuttering when I'm not even talking (i.e. reading or thinking)

Stuttering when I'm not even talking (i.e. reading or thinking) I developed a stutter a few years ago. It can be so bad I can't even begin a word, much less complete a sentence. But recently I began r...

Pardon me for perhaps being blunt, but "cringe" doesn't have to have anything to do with a stutter at all. When you experience these situations, do you manage to communicate? Do you get to say the th...
