Are you a walking thesaurus?

Are you a walking thesaurus? When I talk I legitimately think several words ahead, and when I know a word is coming up that doesn't treat me well, I will flip in a synonym. I can usually do this on th...

For me it changes alot. There are longgg periods where i do and then some shorter periods where it’s barely even occurs. I’ve noticed that being more social and talking to people (even if forced) help...

Great! Keep talking! :) As for practicing on your own, this might not bring about much in terms of practical results, since it's a different situation/context than actually speaking to anyone. Howev...

First of all: You gotta stutter. I know, that sounds ridiculous, but you've gotta get out of the mindset that stuttering is something you must avoid at all costs. Stutter is just a thing that happen...

Take a look at yourself in the mirror. Say “ You. Yeah you! You can do it! “ Stammering is mostly caused by the fear of stammering itself. It’s hard not be anxious before speaking, but it only comes w...

I found that stuttering also fluctuates a lot with different levels of confidence. Working out and being in shape, dressing well and doing voice projection exercises all change how you feel about your...

Practising is good - as is finding a breathing technique to lessen anxiety. But, tbh what helped me during my performance degree is just owning the fact that I have a vocal difference. In presentation...

ironically the number one step in overcoming your stutter is not caring that you stutter. Not saying its easy, it will not happen over night but if you keep that in mind your on the right track....

If the stutter occurs when you explain things to people, perhaps instead of reading aloud you could try exposure therapy techniques with having you explain things to people? Congrats on mastering rea...

I believe one can get rid of stutter completely since it's more mental than anything else. I go through phases where I stutter very less sometimes and on other times my stutter is pretty bad. This...

Yeah, I heard that too, but they dont stutter openly and as such they fall into that category of people who have overcome it or have massive acts of control. I'm looking for people that are doing well...

The more you fight stuttering, the more it will likely increase. When you stop fighting, let it happen, and be ok with talking and stuttering, the easier things will be. This is obviously much much ha...

I believe that stuttering is 90% caused by psychological fear, and the other 10% is caused by something else. I know it is very hard not to be nervous, but I can only say it comes with practice. I use...
