Scaring someone?

Scaring someone? I went through a drive through to Dairy Queen today with some of my friends. I usually stutter when I ask questions, or order food(or on bad days just starting sentences). Usually whe...

I’m the exact same! It’s so frustrating when you can’t say a word and then someone else says it and now you have no problem at all. Maybe hearing the word helps?...

This response hit home. These things are like my top 3 stutter-inducers. I've gotten better at asking questions, but still not great...

No, i'll rather do it myself by taking a deep breath and saying it. I don't mind if people finish it for me but it feels good when I can actually do it myself. Cheers....

Omg im In almost the exact same situation. Im 17 now, and I first noticed I started stuttering when I was maybe 14. It's so frustrating and I agree with everything you said, I get it mostly when I'm w...

Same!! Describing things is always so difficult and even if I plan out my words previously, I always seem to stutter. Not only that, but also whenever I say something with little to no stuttering, but...

Usually when they finish my word, I say it after easily dunno why, but I say it just to show them that I can....

It was 2years ago I (17m) had to read a text and i steessed so much that I couldn't get out a single word so classmates started laughing and i started crying. Still feel awkward about that....

I let people finish the words if they want, but I make a point of finishing the words myself too. I mean, they're free to do that, while I work my way towards the same result. It's not always they get...

I block when I start sentences. I don't stutter alone and neither when I sing. I am more fluent with close people....

Also people say everyone stutters differently. What is yours like, if I may ask? Like do you have any secondaries or something like that?...

I am not a stutterer but since many people who stutter have said it is bad for them and I don't want to offend anyone I would not finish the words. Also, how bad is your case? I mean how bad blocks an...

I'd say I block but consciously turn it into repetitions as a coping technique. I'd also say I only really have one secondary, but only under certain circumstances. Sometimes I close my eyes, particu...

Debate in English class in high school. Teacher wouldn't let me out of it. I spent my entire time fighting the first sentence of my speech....

I see. I do not stutter myself but I am interested in the topic. And do you have the blocking or repetitive kind? Or any secondaries? I am curious, sorry if the questions are private, I am still new h...

The one I remember most came about four to five years ago, in chemistry class. Before Easter holiday, we had been learning about a purification process called recrystallization. When we got back fro...

Do I have a stutter?

Do I have a stutter? Instead of repeating sounds or words, I often catch myself looping the same 3-4 word phrases and I often experience short blocks in my speech Edit: the looping of phrases is quie...

What was your longest/worst single stutter or block that you remember?

What was your longest/worst single stutter or block that you remember? ...

My jaw and lips tend to tense up in a block. It makes getting the word out harder so I try to pause and start over....

I have the same problem. So far nothing has worked for me. However, I have heard that it helps some to either hold out the beginning sound or beginning consonant with stress on the vowel not consonant...
