My experience with interuptions is that they usually make me stutter more, that is if i try to finish my words without an overly large break and even then i might still have it happen...

Speech blocks and bad at pronouncing and fluency?

Speech blocks and bad at pronouncing and fluency? Hello, I have always had bad speech blocks but something that is sorta more recent ever sense the pandemic, was bad at pronouncing even basic words or...

I ask my wife to cut me off when I start stuttering bad. Because once I face a block it just spirals - having a few seconds to recuperate helps....

Is it possible to be a good debater and is there any point trying?

Is it possible to be a good debater and is there any point trying? This school year, I joined my school’s debating team, and while I do ok with a script, if I only have points/ I’m suddenly challenged...

Presentation Blocks

Presentation Blocks Hello, so today I had a presentation and I felt like I had a lot of blocks. In the moment I thought I had improved from before but when I watched my recording I was extremely criti...

Nothing I've said is contradivtive of itself. Like I said, if you'd actually read my replies, I've got a mild stutter. However, it's not consistent. When I went for my job interview I told my intervi...

My husband probably stutters the most when trying to read aloud. We’ve been together for five years, and I think he’s tried to read something to me maybe twice, and gave up both times. I don’t know if...

I get it. It highly depends on severity of the stutter though. People with repetitions could probably get by (and get made fun of), but people with major blocks probably couldn’t unless they had some ...

When I'm feeling confident, I say more and stutter more and speak like a slow version of Drew Lynch. When I'm feeling anxious and forget to voluntarily stutter, I get more blocks and speak like a gr...

Yes I wholeheartedly agree with this comment. It is not that my speech blocks are completely eliminated when I speak, in my mind they do not long as last or their power over me less. And the reverse...

I think that is a good way to think about the eye-contact phenomenon👍. No, I am referring to the same definition of “block” as you. What I mean is that if I’m in deep thought and someone suddenly ...

It does make sense and I agree mostly. We are describing “block” differently. I’m referring to the regular moments of fear where we know exactly what we want to say and instead, it feels like your ...

Whoa. This is great to hear. I found another thing that helps. When I stutter, I bend my neck downward so my chin would be close to my chest. My throat just automatically opens. I stop and repeat the...

Can you cite where I said “I think there is something wrong with stuttering”?? I’m not sure what your last few sentences we’re getting at - but there are ways (free, safe, but hard work) to drastical...

I’m a rip the bandaid type. So anytime I feel anxiety creep in I force myself to do it. Just yesterday I had to call a mechanic and ask a question about services offered. I rehearsed my wording, th...

I used to have long silent blocks, multiple in a sentence, when talking to anyone - but get perfectly fluent the moment I was alone. Also, the moment I stopped hiding my stutter and talked about it,...

If you are a blocks type stutterer, what is your degree of stuttering? How much time it takes you?

If you are a blocks type stutterer, what is your degree of stuttering? How much time it takes you? [deleted]...

I used to tense up very tight as a kid and look weird. I was made fun of for it (on top of the stutter), so I made myself stop. It was mostly just keeping eye contact with whoever I talked to. No ma...

In fact, the block happens *because* you are trying to push through it. The way to reduce the blocking is to let people hear your repetitions while making eye contact....
