that damn tone change + nodding slowly at every stutter + "the look" it's hell omg, stuttering wouldn't be such a problem if people stopped doing that :'...

I never had this experience, personally. I stutter more when I'm anxious. Happy or sad doesn't affect it... but I also haven't ever dealt with depression, so I don't know how that would affect it....

Yes, but because I didn't stutter he might have blown me off. He did prescribe a very common antidepressant that made things worse. My stutter is situational. I stutter badly when trying to explain an...

I’m on the same boat with you, phone calls and talking over a walkie talkie. Usually breathing on the exhale works for me and talking slow but not too slow. Anxiety is still there but since I’m on the...

Phone Call Anxiety

Phone Call Anxiety Hey y’all. I’m currently struggling A LOT when speaking on the phone. For context, I am using DAF apps on my phone during presentations and sometimes school project meetings etc. Th...

asking was good, instead of declaring an assumption that some people do. "can I p... p...." "you can pet him. go on." "no I mean p...." "you can pet him. YOU CAN PE-" or instead of getting o...

Yep everytime, another is if i have it written down or on my phone and I point to the word all sudden I say it perfectly right after pointing at the word haha. My guess, anxiety build-up...

"The theory suggests that emotions are vectors through which the genetic condition necessary to develop stuttering manifests." That is not a claim you can provide evidence for, it's exactly the same a...

I'm on Prozac and don't necessarily stutter, but I had trouble speaking fluently due to severe anxiety before it was prescribed. I found Prozac has significantly improved my speech and fluency by ridd...

The contradiction is that your theoretical framework is based upon the notion that emotions cause stuttering, this is not a claim that research supports. We know stuttering can occur without social p...

Thinking about making a youtube channel but I don't know if I can.

Thinking about making a youtube channel but I don't know if I can. I've posted here before, took it down because I'm shy and I forgot the login for this account for months😭 (apologies for anyone I di...

I totally agree with you in the case of avoiding eye contact. I also believe thats easier, emotionally saying, to not make eye contact with your listener, as you don't have this instant feedback that ...

It’s probably just due to shame. You assume your listener will have a horrified expression (or mocking) when they hear you speak. So, by looking away, you are “confirming” you are correct. But by ...

Can you explain the contradiction regarding the role of emotions in stuttering? This is a discussion for that purpose. It is quite possible that the theory I proposed doesn’t explain 100% of stutterin...

I don't think you see the contradiction on the role emotions play in stuttering. Its clear they play a role, but it's not clear or true that they are involved to the extent that you claim. Additiona...

Keeping calm will certainly help people who stutter, but it is impossible to be calm all the time while speaking. If you observe people talking, you will see that they express many emotions because sp...

You've acknowledged that stuttering can occur without social pressure or without anxiety, then why in your original post have you placed a lot of emphasis on the emotional aspect of stuttering? Also...

Manter a calma certamente ajudará as pessoas que gaguejam, mas é impossível estar calmo o tempo todo ao falar. Se você observar as pessoas conversando, verá que elas demonstram muitas emoções, porque ...

Not everyone experiences an improvement in their stuttering when speaking alone. In some, stuttering simply disappears, in others, it only decreases, and in some cases, it does not change at all. Ther...

And then it hurts even worse when you see everyone else being able to socialize and get along with each other well. I know that isolating feeling all too well. The absolute worst part being you uninte...
