People have different intensities/types of stuttering. For people who have progressed to the point where they subconsciously engage in numerous primary and secondary anticipatory behaviors *that res...

I tried that as a kid, when u still stuttered very heavily. I ran out of air before I could day the word most of the time making it very stressful because I noticed other people notice....

Not totally accurate. I get hard stuck in blocks when I hold eye contact. When I break it, for whatever reason, I get out of the block quicker. I realize it makes no sense, but it is what it is....

1.yes although not every time 2. No and if I do it’s rare 3. Don’t think so And for the last part, not really but there’s been instances where I do stutter. If this helps, I don’t get nervous or h...

I see... While there are situations where insecurity and shyness has caused stuttering in people and it was rectified....I don't think it is always the case. Maybe you can answer a few questions for m...

I started in 11th grade. I’m starting 12th rn. With me is like I could talk normally but like sometimes I want to say something but my voice won’t let me. Idk how to explain...

I had a really bad day today. I usually never stutter in front of my cousins and today I was getting stuck so much. I feel like I find it hard to even get a sentence out. I literally feel so bad and literally feel the need to stop talking. Idk what to do.

I have a heart arrhythmia that I used to be able to “fix” by doing a valsalva maneuver. It became dangerous and I needed a medical procedure to address it. While in recovery room, I woke up sooner t...

My old job required me to call patients and I did this exact same thing. I block hard on greetings and beginnings of sentences, so to just be able to jump in made it a lot easier for me....

Same thing happened to me today. Went by a new doctor to examine a condition in my eyes and she asked how old am I, I blocked hard on the 'T' in the beginning of twenty. She immediately asked me about...

Not always. Sometimes hard blocks just happen, and there is no explanation for it....

I have mild to low stutter now, but I stutter even when I'm talking alone or to my dog. Social anxiety develops because of our fears I bet, but it's not the only situation where stutter presents itsel...

Tried a few medications, including drugs within two years. (Thiamin, Olanzapine, GABA, Vitamine complex and other drugs) Nothing has helped. Just felt the side effects like extreme fatigue, lack of co...

I get what you're trying to convey here but not all disabilities are treated equally. Making fun of those with speech impairments is still socially acceptable to some degree than other disabilities li...

What's the best technique for pauses?

What's the best technique for pauses? I suffer from the pausing form of stuttering and sometimes repitions, but it's mostly the blocking where I try to say something it doesn't come out and I'm just s...

I'm glad you found what works for you. You should know that blocks are not unbreakable and you can get out of them, even if it feels like they're outside of your control. That's how I felt before and ...

I see where you’re coming from. In my experience, if I’m in a block, I physically cannot get the word out. Each time I try to cold open on the difficult word, my anxiety gets worse and there’s really ...

The same way as any blocking. You need to make sound let yourself stutter on your name as you say it....

I have the same issue! It totally sucks. I’m in a job where I have to “cold-open” saying peoples names to call them from the waiting room (ugh). Here are some tricks I refer to! - start by humming be...
