In my case no time doesn't help anything really except the older I get the less I care if I stutter in public or not. If you get lazy and let time go by without actively putting yourself out there &am...

I stutter way too much and face too many blocks when I am angry and start arguing.

I stutter way too much and face too many blocks when I am angry and start arguing. Does anyone else face this too? Is it because there is more adrenaline when we get into an argument? In hindsight, it...

In my opinion, it's linked to how we conditionally wired ourselves, for example: a condition: 'I blame anxiety to stop breathing out during a speech block'.However, there are many stutterers who also ...

Very well could be anxiety. I had a similar problem, my stutter would increase a lot during stressful situations like interviews. Taking treatment for anxiety helped reduce the severity during such si...

Boys may be given the message to “use more effort to get through the bumpy speech”, which basically just leads to blocks, fear and avoidances. I think it’s important to let young children know it’s no...

I don’t think blocks are only from mental fear. Some people stutter because of anxiety so in that case yes. A lot of stutterers still stutter and block regardless of how they feel though...
