I worded it wrong I guess cause that's all everyone is taking from it. My point was, big blocks are more you fighting a small pause and when you learn just to be OK with the small pause the big blocks...

I never said stuttering is only a repetition of sound. It can be repetition, pauses, blocks, tongue locks, chattering... I'm just saying large blocks are the worst case and can be minimized by being c...

That’s a very interesting angle, which in my experience has a lot of truth to it but I would think it mainly applies to those which a stutter that is underpinned by psychological and not physical trig...

Stuttering is such a strange disorder and I think it varies for everyone what helps (to a point). If I start to substitute or avoid words they become more of a 'monster' in my mind, like there is no...

Exactly, in my experience a stutter is alot easier to function with than blocks. Also it seems like big blocks are the result of trying to battle small blocks. Just let it rip. Years ago along with a...

Don't know why others are negative about your point, I think it's very reasonable and true. By 'Stuttering' I think you meant specifically the stammer part. I haven't tried just letting the repetitio...

I’m simplifying it, but this is the order of severity, from least impactful/most healthy —> most impactful/least healthy Repetitions -> blocks -> avoiding single words by using substitutions -> avoi...

Really? It has worked for me many years now... Maybe I'm not using the right words, english is not my first language...

Not my case! I can talk without problem with this method. Maybe it sounds odd to a listener but it works for me...

I have found the same. I'm amazed when people say they successfully use word substitution. Just like fillers that method works for a very short time and then things go down hill from there. We are all...

Depending on filler words and substitutions will very likely lead to much harder blocks, resulting in avoiding entire verbal exchanges....

Taming the beast

Taming the beast Hi everyone, I just came here to write something. I'm 25 y/o and since many years ago I have my stutter under control 95% of the time through a combination of crutches, fillers and wo...

You're oversimplifying and sort of misrepresenting OP's point in a malicious manner. It's about trying to turn blocking into repetition, mostly by adding voluntary repetition stuttering into your spee...

I’m trying to give myself time and I literally get less stutter but still whenever I’m under pressure....

It does get better. You'll get more confident as you grow older and you'll be faster and more natural with word switches when you encounter words that you struggle with. It is stressful to have to rep...

I could imagine that coming with a variety of downsides. While I want to be able to speak my mind, I’d ruin lots of relationships if everything that came to mind was vocalized lmao. Also I don’t know...

True and i am a muslim so it will be hard for me to get married because in our society men are supposed to be masculine and be leaders . So i am cooked ,because i suck at ordering things or about ask...

In a just world, that route would be logical, but I learned how to play the game until I reached my ultimate goal....

No, I didn't cancel the appointment. But I didn't agree to do the procedure we agreed on (tooth extraction) because I have to wait a long time for a new one, 1-2 months. So I wanted to offer her to tr...

If your struggle is talking with a listener but you are able to articulate perfectly when alone, then practicing the easy thing will not make a bit of difference. Always confused when someone says it...
