Also tend to squint an eye, look sideways, kinda nod my head. I was thinking of trying to video myself in case I do things I don’t notice I’m doing - has anyone tried this? ...

Yeah I feel you. I’m getting real tired of my squint. My right eye muscles are almost sore by the end of the day lol. I didn’t think it was that bad until I talked into a mirror and was like ohhh Jeez...

Yeah I’ve gone through the tensing as well. I used to be depressed about it, but now I just brush it off or get angry at the occasional idiot. The lucky thing is at this point in time in the world, ev...

Mine is tensing my head to the point it starts shaking to push through words. With my stutter it depends on what mood I’m in. Iva has whole weeks of being fine and the depressions kicks and I fall a...

As Stutterers we all pick up bad habits trying to speak. How have you conquered your bad habits?

As Stutterers we all pick up bad habits trying to speak. How have you conquered your bad habits? Hey everyone, first time poster in this Sub. I’ve had a stuttering issue since I was 4 (now 28). Altho...

I've found that speaking in front of a camera is a very anxiety inducing experience. Even more anxiety inducing than talking to a person. You become really self conscious of your appearance and every ...

In my case I tried talking to a camera to do a class project and although I was all alone I stuttered a lot...

I fidget my hands quite violently, I even scratched myself a few times. If I’m holding something like a fork or a pen, I would stab a surface with it. Not really intentionally of course....

The rapid blinking is so common I find. I wonder if theres a reason for that. But the shoulder hunching I find interesting because some people do the opposite... its a weird thing....

Yeah, I find that my chin/jaw area really clenches in a weird way when encountering w's, but I dont stutter on them often. I hate the way it looks though, so Im gonna try and fix that. I find myself c...

So... mine is a little different than most. I can control my tensor tympani muscle in my ear which causes the rumbling sound in my ear. Most people can't control, but some (r/earrumblersassemble) can....

I jerk my head forward a lot or just smack my leg. The head jerk is the worst and the worse I stutter the more forceful the jerk is. Thankfully, it’s gotten better as i’ve gotten older but I doubt it ...

I avoid eye contact by usually looking down or to the side. Also I sometimes tap my foot or hand to see if I can say the word or syllable I’m struggling on on the beat. That usually helps me get out t...

I have a few but working on them. 1. Jaw spasm for no reason. 2. Loss of eye contact/ closing my eyes gently (not as tight anymore), 3. Holding my Jaw/ massaging the shit out of my chin and lowe...

These are techniques I've learned in speech therapy, I hope I explain them well enough. 1) Diaphragmatic breathing. Breathe in for 2 seconds, out for four. Make sure your stomach rises and falls, no...

Don’t be afraid to stutter! Best tip I can offer once you get over the fact that you stutter and it happens fluency really becomes second nature. Of course you’ll still stutter but going into a conver...

This isn't really something that happens when I stutter, but when I speak in general. I avoid eye contact and blink, not rapidly, but way more than necessary. I think the looking away is because I don...

Do you get those weird throat twitches? The ones that almost hurt your head. I dont know how to explain it, but it feels like your throat is about to come up into your mouth almost. Terrible explanati...

When I meet new people and stutter I tend to put my hand over my mouth as if I said something wrong lol. Its such a weird thing man, but it usually end in a chuckle or two. At least its a habit and no...

I close my eyes and put my hand over my mouth. Been trying to stop the habit but it's hard...
