Exactly. But even if friends or family do it too often it gets annoying. Even if someone finishes the sentence I still repeat it just to keep control over what I said. But then again the way OP does i...

Hey fellow redditor, Not sure which profession you’re in, but I finished my program as a physical therapist a few months ago, and am currently working. I know how you feel. You have all the terms in ...

I think it's because we put pressure on the sentence in our head and we don't want to stutter but still do. If you didn't care it wouldn't happen....

Hi! Thank you for responding :) As far as how it has compromised my self esteem. Having to think the same exact thought twice reduces my speed at coming to conclusions. An average person may think; t...

Have you tried any exercises to remove some of this tension? I would suggest a different approach if you were stuttering only around other people. But being by yourself and stuttering everytime on th...

Haha thanks but even if i want to say Koogle i cant because i put too much psychological tension on it and i still stutter :(. My stutter isnt that severe tho so guess ill have to deal with it....

It feels like my stutter happens the most when I am reading or when I think a lot about my words beforehand. If I don't think before I speak, I usually don't stutter. I also have been stuttering way l...

Maybe this is common knowledge but does everyone say it in their heads before saying it out loud? Might not help but when I stutter like crazy, I just pause for a moment...

Good luck! I would say I’m 95% of the way to beating that final boss. I’m 42 and didn’t really start trying until I was about 30. It takes intense mental focus. As much focus as you put into earning ...

I went through a similar thing, realising that the harder I tried the worse it got and the worse I felt. What I also find is that tension also builds up in your diaphragm and stomach when you’re stuck...

Me being me, would just have overthought about this and then let it go after days of mental agony and guilt....

Absolutely. People don’t understand how important talking is and how it effects every part of your life when you can’t speak like others. They don’t get the rush of anxiety or overthinking that comes ...

I feel like i'm stuttering much worse this year, and i belive is due to lack of socialization because i worked mostly from home. But you know stutering have a mind of it's own .The more you focus on i...

Yeah I think rehearsing it down where it's like saying the abc's would make it so much easier, at least it did for me. But presentations are just an animal on it's own entirely, it's something that s...

Thank you for the comment. My plan is to talk as much as possible so I become desensitized. And to keep what I was doing: Proper breathing + mindfulness meditation + being relaxed most of the time....

The presentation was split and I had only one slide. I prepared a text to read from and I was trying to prepare by only reading before the presentation and when I tried to explain by only remembering ...

As sort of an aside - for conceptual clarity, we don't even have to say things like "tricked my brain" or "the brain listened". It makes it sound like there's another agent sitting in there in our sku...

This can't go on anymore I'm DETERMINED to change - my story as a stutterer.

This can't go on anymore I'm DETERMINED to change - my story as a stutterer. Hi everyone I just want to share my story. I don't remember when exactly I started stuttering. When I was a kid I was ver...

You are on the right page sir. Try this for me. Read aloud, preferably in the morning, for at least an hour. Read everything during the day out loud if you can, just loud enough so you can hear yourse...

It is in about rewiring your brain. When you are trying to speak, you have anxiety that you will fail because you have all the memories of disfluency. Learning to hear fluency from your lips, your own...
