I have a similar story. In 9th grade my stutter was at its worst that it had been in a while, and because of that I didn’t participate at all in classes, and for presentations would regularly rely on ...

I believe because we’re used to overthink before talking a lot, so this trait transfer to other aspects of our life...

I was also very successful academically, I went to a top university and have a 1:1 in comp sci. Highest overall grade in my year 88%. What I will say is, we are highly neurotic people. Meaning we sp...

Yes i do have the same stutter.I researched about it and i was told the stuttering is from the mind.The reason you dont stutter when having a random convo,is because you dont think about stuttering. T...

Yes bro,i went through it on a daily basis when i was in school.All through highschool.We used to read a set book in class and the teacher used to follow the sitting arrangement to make everybody read...

Yep same here. Thinking about what I’m gonna say is the worst thing. I’m best when replying spur of the moment. It’s worse when I have to initiate conversation or if I have to ask something or tell so...

Stuttering when planning sentences/words

Stuttering when planning sentences/words Heya! Been struggling with stuttering for the past year, but it seems slightly different than most explanations of stuttering online. Stuttering for me comes...

Does practicing by yourself help?

Does practicing by yourself help? For a while my stutter got better but now it's worse again. I'm 33 and my anxiety hasn't helped because all the techniques I learnt as a kid goes out of the way once ...

Having more control over your mind

Having more control over your mind Hello, so I saw a post that talked about how in order to stop anticipating a word that you will stammer over, you need more control over your brain. I have noticed t...

Can someone explain/help me understand this experience?

Can someone explain/help me understand this experience? Hi everyone A while back, I had a strange experience. I am still trying to understand it. I had a panic attack for the first time (I believe t...

Most wouldn’t understand the amount of thought and premeditation that occurs prior to a stutterer speaking. The…negotiations…with theirselves with regards to what the brain is willing to say. Maybe th...

For me personally: What makes it worse: talking to family (don’t know why), talking to crowds ex. class presentation (nervous/anxious etc, heart rate def increases), calling on the phone (nervous mayb...

Thanks for such an informative comment. I will try all those steps. As you said, I do feel extremely nervous and mostly have blocks rather than repetitions. I think it's because I want to hide my st...

I can relate to this really hard. Overthinking/anticipating exactly what I’m going to say is 100% the cause of my blocks. Also, I’m laughing so hard at the part about asking a non stutterer “what stra...

You sorta have it reversed- you actually block because you are expecting to block...

That's one thing I noticed. We chat a lot about it on the discord. How powerful distractions can be basically. Like someone interrupting mid stutter might be all it takes and then you feel entirely...

Interesting, so you think blocks occur when someone is too fixated on how they say it so they block out all outside instances. And to fix it you gotta focus on the outside instances and not your speec...

Well said! The more I thought I stuttered around someone, the more I did. The more I thought I'd stutter on certain words the more I did. All bs that I needed to wash out of my head. That's where ...

Hey are you the one writing bullet points on my video's because those are great! Some of the words you used I love and wish I mentioned too :D It looks like you are making a lot of it your own whic...
