>If I say something and somebody responds with "What? Or "Could you repeat that?" my brain immediately just shuts down. If the listener asks to repeat, then we could perceive it as: * *"I need to...

Oh 100%. I've managed to get mine down to a barely noticeable level through lots of different techniques, but they all go out the window if I'm asked to repeat myself, so frustrating. It's the bla...

Sometimes. But it weird because if I’m quiet and stare at them that person mightve known what i said or if they truly didnt i pause, take a breath and speak on the exhale...

>exaggerate the difficult letter by hitting it three times or elongating it for 5 seconds Woaw I'm impressed. Thank you for the detailed and nice explanation. I hope you will contribute more in ou...

💯 I’ve prepared my words and sounds, get them out smoothly and fluently, only to get “sorry, can you repeat that?” 😡🤬😞...

EVERY FUCKING TIME!!!!! My stutter has progressed to where it's now mild, but ask me to repeat something an I block....

yep. I could say my name fluently but I guess too quietly, then when asked to repeat the anxiety kicks in and I block on all 3 syllable...

Is your stutter worse when you're asked to repeat yourself?

Is your stutter worse when you're asked to repeat yourself? My stutter comes and goes, but there's one scenario where I stutter every time. If I say something and somebody responds with "What? Or "Cou...

I argue that you (*and every person who stutters*) are stuck in a vicious circle. **Vicious circle**: 1. *Trigger* 1. maintaining eye contact 2. saying a long sentence 3. fear of judgement ...

I freeze and find it very hard to open my mouth when I start a sentence while doing eye contact. I usually wait till that eye contact is broken before saying a long sentence. In this case, physically...

Oh, generally no, my name starts with a d so if I try saying it I can typically get "d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d" out but nothing more...

When nothing comes out. It’s a hard pause, with throat tension, eye contact aversion, maybe another odd body movement. You are trying to shove a sound out, but it almost feels stuck...

You almost definitely met them in stuttering suppprt groups, right?? Since blocking is ultimately an attempt to attempt to “hide your repetitions from the world”, ppl are much more fluent in that set...

Yes you are right, he might truly not be able to say it. But from all the people who stutter that I have met (about 200), only one person, one time, was physically not able to say the word. The rest o...

So you get mental blocks? Not blocks when your speaking? Thats interesting I honest never had mental blocks.. my speech just gets stuck.. I learn to control the normal type of stuttering when I was ...
