I just don't think about my stutter. Like, I stammer. What must I do? Any practicing I do at home, all goes to s\*\*t. It is a random occurrence. Just talk like anybody else, maybe slower though and w...

A thing I've noticed is that my stutter is stronger if I'm "explaining" a meme to someone (lol) - by that I mean that if I saw a meme but I can't show it to another person right now and I'm explaining...

I had to take a public speaking class in high school (requirement to graduate), and I stuttered very bad. The teacher knew so he totally understood. I asked for a bit of more time during presentation...

it's good to hear you're not bothered by it when I was younger it would annoy me that people would finish my sentence, but now I'm fine with it. It just shows to you it's all mental....

Youre too focus on the first letter and/or syllable. So when the other person says it for you you lose that focus/pressure and voila you can say the word. I suggest try to lose focus and ignore the w...

There’s no difference between “psychological” and “physical” These are made up words, all stutters occur due to you’re brain being a bit scuffed. Unless you’re talking about trauma induced stuttering...

This happens. I think it happens for me because when I hear someone say it, it releases the pressure of me having to get it out since I know they already know what I was trying to say. I also immediat...

It's kinda stupid: somehow it is a physical limitation, but at the same time it is not one all the time. Like someone in a wheelchair that can randomly walk every few minutes for a few steps.The older...

From my own experiences its almost always directly based on how much attention I am putting on stuttering. The more I think about it, the more I stutter. I try now to focus on it as little as I can ...

No he's got a point. If you focus your attention on the MATERIAL you're saying instead of HOW you're going to say it/whether it'll come out fluently it usually works out. I applied this exact trick to...
