Don't worry about if she knows or not. Just meet with her and it'll naturally come up in conversation. Re the aggressiveness - yes, I also don't stutter during a fight, but that's down to not thinki...

We all stutter differently. You can let the other person know that you stutter and it can take you a bit of time to say some things. When you state that, the other person won’t expect fluency from you...

Phone Calls

Phone Calls I have tried everything to reduce my phone call anxiety and stammering and it just doesn’t work. I had to pay over the phone for something right now and it was a nightmare coz I couldn’t s...

I totally get that. It’s only natural that our normal speech patterns are to speak fluently but with a stutter that often gets interrupted. I typically want to speak fast but I have to remind myself o...

Ah, I've been doing that. But somehow, even though my mom doesn't notice the fact I stumble & repeat sounds, she immediately heard the prolongations & noticed a different speech pattern, asked me "who...

Correct. The ‘I don’t pay attention, it’s easier to flow onto the next thing and keep talking’ is what ought to occur. Similarly, when I don’t pay attention to the way I speak, it flows. For past co...

Yeap vowels and hard start sounds alike K D T type sounds are hard for. I know I really love my wife when I willing to try to order aioli sauce for her haha. There is a technique of adding a very su...

I would argue that most PWS may not even be aware of the perceived or anticipated error, panic response, or approach-avoidance conflict as long as they rely on controlled processes or auto-pilot speec...

Comment #2: In conclusion, the recurring argument that "I stutter even without feeling anxiety" misses the point I think since it doesn’t invalidate the role of responses to conditioned stimuli. So...

Yes indeed, that’s why I mentioned it. When I was in primary and high school, I rarely experienced anxiety, fear, or pressure from stuttering. This was likely because my mother, brother, and six other...

The only time I feel guilty or in a way shameful is when I’m struggling with my speech around my Son and people that I’m not very familiar with or especially if he is introducing me to friends and/or ...

I, too, struggle with one worded syllables at times. Whether it’s on the phone or in person. “Bye” or even a confirming “Yes” gets me. I don’t know what it is, but sometimes it does happen when I get ...

Yes, I have certainly lost many good opportunities due to stuttering. But the problem is not so much the stuttering, but the fact that I have to speak in synonyms and strange phrases. And if I said ev...

When your stutter got better or worse, were there any changes in your life - meds, environment, stress, etc? I've stuttered all my life, but nowadays I rarely stutter. 9 months ago, I posted here ab...

It happened to me in the past. It sucks because sometimes when I'm walking away I can't say bye so I either stay in that place until I say it (it probably looks weird), or walk away without saying any...

Breathe, and speak slowly.  If you are stuck on a word then try to think of another ways to say the same thing. Eg. Goodbye = see ya...

Please help me ive been to very few interviews because of my stutter and bombed every single one of them, it's just that I can't get a single word out like I block at every word and repeat myself twic...

You got a block, sometimes I find pausing for a second and taking a breath helps, also putting an extra sound on the word like “a-bye” or “hmm-bye” can help. Or even just using a whole other word like...

I hate when I’m not able to say bye or leave the room. There will be times where someone is just talking and talking and I’m just shaking my head yea to everything and I want to leave but I keep stutt...

All of these work for sure. Recording your voice/singing and pitching your voice/ accent/ breathing exercise. I try to use filler words to build up to the world I’m going to stutter over...
