Honestly I’m just trying to get use to this as I’m new to it kind of. And it’s frustrating that I can’t get my words out /certain words, I’m like so ashamed of it and embarrassed by it, I’m just tryin...

yes I always feel like their is tension, it’s like someone pressed pause on my tongue and it’s just stuck there, and then I always make some facial expression, and sometimes if it’s a really bad block...

Is this stuttering or a medical concern like at this point idk??

Is this stuttering or a medical concern like at this point idk?? Background story: so I had a stutter when I was little as a toddler and I had received speech therapy for it. Through middle school a...

People that know you are using your stutter as an advantage for them. Normally when we yell we speak fluently! When we whisper. We speak fluently. When we speak about something that we are passionate ...

Sometimes when I answer the phone and I'm trying to get the "hello" out, the other person just repeats their "hello? hellooo. Hello?!" and then hangs up. Right, when I can get my "hello" out is when t...

Which strategy had helped you with your stutter the most?

Which strategy had helped you with your stutter the most? These are some of the strategies that I have personally thought of and tried over the years to manage my stutter. Hasn't cured it, but I belie...

Complete opposite. I can ramble freely with no problems, but as soon as I have to read e.g an exact quote, I start to stutter....

Dude, yes, it's the worst thing. It's even more worse for me, because I never stuttered on my name before 2013. Now I kinda hate myself, because I CAN speak my name, as I did that for 16 years straigh...

Yeah I think saying our name is difficult for a lot of us. I can't even tell you how many times I've heard, "what did you forget your name?" Ugh... yeah I forgot my name. That's the logical conclusion...

Till I was 16, it was just repeating type. I would fumble on K, M, L sounds. It was manageable & nobody knew that I stutter. Then I changed schools, and my stuttering changed to block type. Alpha...

What kind of stuttering do you have? Mine is more like a long blocks than anything else. I don't really repeat sounds unless I'm doing it somewhat intentionally to overcome a block. But it has changed...

I don't always stutter when I'm alone but it does happen. And not infrequently. I also have a habit of saying the words I type very softly as I type them. I'm doing it right now for example. And I som...

Definitely second. I stutter always, it not depends on anxiety or anything else. I stutter when I'm alone, when talking to myself, talking to my pets, etc. Anxiety makes my speech worse, yes, but it's...

Omg I cannot say hello when I answer the phone.. i have to be pause when I answer, and than after two or three seconds I can say it. Also I answer the phone at work sometimes, and I can’t say our work...

It's counterintuitive but yes. Doing it intentionally gives you more control and less tension. Of course perfectly fluent would be nice, but better a minor hiccup that you can control than 30-second b...

It's so frustrating! Like, why can't we just speak to others like we speak when there's no one around, it's not like there's something inherently wrong with our ability to produce sounds :/...

It's actually the opposite for me, I somehow stutter more when I'm alone...

I stutter on bad and good dayss : ( I block and repeat things. But I find it really difficult to start a sentence, the first word is a real struggle....

I find it very interesting that basically all people that commented here have slightly different stuttering pattern. I have personally never repetitions, 100% blocks only....

I have a combination of blocks and consonant/vowel repetition. When trying to speak a sentence I'll usually have a block first (I'll instantly know in a split second that a repetitive word sound will...
