I'll move my body involuntarily / through habit to "force" the word out, like what you describe as normal. The tics you're describing sound more like Tourette's Syndrome, though....

I totally feel this. When I was young I stuttered really severely, to the point of an adrenaline rush of fear, making it feel like it lasts forever... Those sensations, ticks, gasps and sore muscles...

It has to be Y. Like of course the holy trio (BMP) are still there but stuttering on Y sounds very weird and makes my face clench. Also stuttering on F unleashes a saliva salvo and G makes me look li...

How can people like their stutter?

How can people like their stutter? I just don't get this. I hear success stories from so many people who have made true acceptance with their stutter, with themselves. These are the people who no long...

I think most stutterers have secondary behaviors that are more or less intrusive. I have a thing where I lift one eyebrow and lower the other. Probably gives me a puzzled look. :) Not sure to which e...
