I've seen this video and its been helpful for me as well OP. I used to be crazy anxious about stammering as well. Long story short I've gone through some life changes and I am now in a career that re...
My stammering is pretty much completely covert. As such, when I have confided in others, I have been met with “you don’t stammer” or something along those lines. Avoidances have been a central feature...
Another topic unrelated to my other comment is the prevalence of secondary behaviors and tics that come with stuttering. Sometimes when im stuck on a sound my secondaries are looking up and to the rig...

I had speech therapy all throughout school and it sucked with my stuttering. (Blocking) I went back in 2020 (I’m 22 now) and it was great helped a lot with confidence and that it’s not just a little k...
Sounds like another anti-psychotic. Hopefully I’m mistaken. Inhibiting dopamine really sucks the joy out of life. Not sure that’s better than stuttering. Effective treatment for stuttering would be am...
Yikes...that reminds me when I thought I refused to make phone calls in front of others because I was trying to "be polite". Nope. Turns out I was scared. Ultimately, hiding it just makes it worse...
Recently had a big meeting at work. I stuttered but I was fine and felt surprisingly relaxed. That is until we left the meeting and my coworker was all like “omg you were so nervous!” I just interna...
There's a covert stutterer in the my male count. I applied for a joband he called me to set up an interview and i heard easy onsets/light articulation and thought, hmm, this sounds familiar. When I as...

Yep, I feel this on a deep level lol. I work for an insulation/fiber glass company, so instead of servicing different customers everyday, we have the same consistent client base that comes in every mo...
Hey I 19M have noticed I tend to stutter a lot when talking to people who know I have a stutter but when I’m talking to people who don’t know I stutter I speak a lot better and in most cases gives the illusion of fluency. I was wondering what you guys thought of this and maybe if you have any tips?

i've been in this place so many, many, many times. when these convos happen and i inevitably feel like a pile of dirt afterwards for being unable to properly communicate, i try to forget about it and ...
You'll never stutter when talking to a pet or a baby, and do you know why? Because they can't judge you. Stutterers have a terrible fear of being judged....
stuttering when alone?
stuttering when alone? Is this just me but when I'm alone talking to myself I don't stammer at all, which makes me think my stammer is mainly to do with anxiety around other people....
Not hiding it is a big step! It takes a lot of the fear out of speaking, and the fear tends to make the blocks worse. One of my things is that I'm still carrying a lot of internal shame about my disfl...
