I often struggle saying my name (it begins with an “E”). I am in my 30s. One thing that has helped has been to visualize the word in my head beforehand, and to imagine myself saying the whole word, no...

Of course. Maybe you have gotten used to people ignoring you so you think that there are only a few things you can say that will gain people’s approval. And you are stressing out to find that 1% of th...

No matter what our names start with, I bet every single stutterer has trouble with their name. I know I do. It's really mind over matter. When think ourselves into a tizzy because we know we need to s...

Why did you think you couldn't defend your thesis? Was it that you didn't feel confident in the material or was it solely because of your stuttering?...

This is all because I care and think too much. It has become a habit to close up ones someone comes and talks to me. Not being able to care is so so hard but I will try my best. Thank you so much 😭...

Ty for the advice. I practice by myself so many times but when the time actually comes and people ask what my name is my throat closes up and nothing comes out. But thank you so much...

For me, its a little bit of both. If I don't have a clue on what I'm going to say or how to express it, I'll end up stuttering but if I focus too hard on what I'll say or on certain words, I'll stutte...

At the same time I personally think it’s an internalized issue that we all have. I can blur words out no problem when I have incredibly little thought about my sentences. They just come out. It’s the ...

I think it also has to do with practice. I believe I have a stutter due to spending the vast majority of my childhood on my own, not really having to practice my speech and only speaking in my head. E...

Both actually, whenever I try to talk to myself it seems to go away but when I try to articulate a sentence using the words I stutter on I tend to get blocked. Giving myself time and thinking about ho...

That’s the new thing I’m running into, it’s so weird how stutters work because it’s an instant block but I’ll see what I can come up with 🤔...

I don't stutter at all when I am talking alone. I think for me stuttering is mostly psychological than neurological....

I'm not comfortable with the accents, I can barely do accents anyways lol I try and over pronounce monitoring at times and it makes it worse. It's the same when i say "Emergency", I don't know how d...

I think I figured something out

I think I figured something out I was thinking and I realized that speaking requires two things and that is the lips and tongue. I started to think about my stutter and how I always begin my words wit...

My name and lately any name of someone if I'm asked by another "who is that". Pro nouns also or when asked to repeat something even if I just said it fluently. Basically words where I can't use a sub...

Stuttering is a two edged sword. On one hand, when you do have lots of things to talk about you’re constantly anxious and stutter. However, since we’re always HYPER aware of conversations and what we’...

You'd be surprised how little people listen to you. As stutterers, we're often hypercritical of every bit of our speech. No one else listens with 1/100th of that attention to detail when we speak. I...

Is there anything that you overthinked that turned out to be fine? Maybe you can take some things from it to apply to daily situations!...

Honestly, there are too many potential causes to test. I may track my caffeine and whatnot but other things could affect it too. Its hard to test imo. For instance, there's been times I've went in to...

I pretty much work on my stutter every time I talk. I don't have any specific time or place i do it tho...
