There are plenty of people who stutter who have fewer than expected verbal repetitions. It’s mostly silent blocks or full avoidances. See my comment in this thread...

Wow, that’s amazing. I also have pretty severe blocks. This is really intriguing. Thanks for the insight!...

You said "I have the opposite feeling" I agree! I'm sure that all stutterers (also me) feel more clear, together and as a whole when speaking fluently. You are 100% right, I agree because I experienc...

>everything feels so much clearer. Even my thoughts feel more together. I feel whole. I agree! I'm sure that all stutterers (also me) feel more clear, together and as a whole when speaking fluentl...

I work in a very busy international airport. Radio is always busy so when you have that half second gap you need to press the mic button and say your request to air traffic controllers. When I press t...

Stutters vary immensely person-by-person and there is a giant lack of research to create common phenotypes despite the commonality of it as a disorder. I don't think solely repetitions by themselves a...

Recently discovered that I barely stutter when I'm drinking, and I'm a bit scared at what this could lead to.

Recently discovered that I barely stutter when I'm drinking, and I'm a bit scared at what this could lead to. So, I was recently at a recruitment even where I was drinking pretty heavily. I was speaki...

“Just talk” is the worst bit advice I have ever heard

“Just talk” is the worst bit advice I have ever heard I have only ever heard this from people who don’t stutter and it makes sense why. “Just talk” implies the reason I can’t get the word I’m trying t...

I think most of the time it's stress-/nerve-induced, but sometimes it just crops up just because. I'm not sure what's going on but I hate it....

Yes everytime i think it usually happened when any stress is going on in back of your mind . I usually stutters pronouncing d and g...

Questions on writing a character with a stutter

Questions on writing a character with a stutter Hello Reddit! I am working on a story that includes a character with a stutter. Since I don't have one myself, I wanted to reach out to people who do, t...

I have asthma and a stutter but they feel mostly unrelated. Sometimes if my asthma gets really bad it might be a little worse stutter wise but usually its fine....

They’re unrelated. When stuttering, your chest shouldn’t hurt. It’s like having an invisible “block” in your throat and you’re struggling to get the words out. It can also feel like you’ve run out of ...

I don't have Asthma but I do kind of stop breathing when I stutter....

Yes. I don't stutter much but blocks many times(as block is a part of stuttering). I usually don't block in casual talk or impromptu talks😅. But when I try to speak in different languages such as E...

I try to speak the word and at the beginning I stutter or block there. But after practicing many time and speaking slow with breath in-out, I can control that....

of course, same to you :) if you ever want to talk about anything going on in life, Reddit message!...

Mine is absolutely to do with my breathing pattern. I stop breathing and get stuck. Almost like a tick but not really with the movement (which I think I control/surpress). I think there are a bunch ...

I used to be fluent when talking to myself , but recently I have started stuttering alone as well. I am 16 and I have heard your teen years are the worst for it so maybe that’s why?...
