I don’t have much experience with public speaking, but I used to have this problem on occasion when talking on the phone. I I think it ultimately boils down to being relaxed vs nervous. You don’t nor...

I would say trying to speak with perfection only causes more stuttering. Letting go of this would be the same as letting go of being OCD. Easier said than done....

When you obsess about something to the point it starts causing a problem I’d say that’s ocd. Stutterers obsess constantly at when they will next speak or speaking situation or how they will say what t...

It’s crazy, it’s like it knows the most opportune time to get ya lol. I’ve found that in a similar situation I get something out perfectly the first time and they didn’t hear it and I’m like “really d...

I’m kinda in the same situation as you I recently started a new college with brand new people apart from my one friend that I knew from my old school. At first I was apprehensive and I didn’t speak th...

This happens to me as well, thank you for wording it perfectly! I get sidetracked very easily after I stutter, it causes me to go on a tangent and lose track of the original point I was trying to make...

my adhd absolutely exacerbates my stutter. it’s very hard to concentrate on fluency techniques when i get distracted by every little thing 😅. i have an okay time talking if it’s relatively quiet, but...

Russian class

Russian class Hi, I'm a 17 year old German girl. I'm not going to talk about my first month in school in general, but about russian classes. Last year I said a lot in class, but something changed. I...

I would very much like to find out what condition this is. I think I have the same thing. Mine started probably around 11 or 12. All of sudden I just couldn’t make sounds when I was nervous. It’s li...

Yes we stutterers really think alot about our words and speech...

We aren’t totally sure. We have a lot of clues, but no smoking gun. There are detectable genetic differences, which seem to correlate to measurable differences in brain anatomy and function. There’s b...

I find that we tend to be way more intelectual in written form and come off as rude, negative, over-communicative, "wordy," long-satated, etc..... When I feel they are lazy readers, blame their inabil...
