Hey! I have a mainly anxiety based stutter though I imagine there is a genetic component to it as well such as the lack of blood flow to the broca you mention. I stuttered as a kid and saw the schools...

Might sound crazy now, but you should embrace your stutter. It may possibly be something you’ll live with even w/ therapy. I’ve stuttered since I could remember (im 22 now) & was embarrassed const...

I think I see what you're saying, and proven wrong I know wasn't the right phrase, maybe shown a different or shifted view. Anyway, I don't think I can really add any more to the discussion. I like wh...

I consider myself as an introvert, who sometimes has outgoing sessions with desire to talk and to be listened to by many people, hanging out and have loads of fun. I can't tell which do I enjoy more ...

I'm not interested in proving you wrong. I'll just hear you out instead. :) It's a complex affair, this thing we've got to carry around... It's already a complex affair simply being alive and making ...

Yes, and perhaps the idea I'm searching for is that it's SO ENGROSSING. I'm fully engaged when teaching. I've had the experience ( a while ago) of being profoundly depressed, going in to teach and exp...

Does anyone else feel like an extrovert trapped in an introvert/stutterer's body?

Does anyone else feel like an extrovert trapped in an introvert/stutterer's body? I just want to be able to tell a funny story at a dinner or engage in conversation at a party without feeling like a f...

Odd! So because they can't understand it, they sort of deny that it's a thing? And yeah, I know it can be embarassing and confusing. But I think part of learning to stutter is to do it regardless. Be...

1. I tell them that my speech impediment makes it hard for me to say words sometimes but they just don’t get how it is possible. People know I stutter but whenever I have blocks they just don’t get it...

There are two lines of thought in what you're writing that I'd like to ask about, if you don't mind. 1. When you say people around you "don't understand", what do you mean? Are you telling them anyth...

From my experience, you probably have had trouble saying the word once in the past and now you subconsciously fear saying the word because you might stutter again... which is why of course you do. B...

I still remember my speech therapist 6 years ago that I only went to for like 5 sessions because thats all my insurance covered. She figured out that for me the best thing to do wasnt techniques. It w...

I will take note. Seems like it will work. So strange we have to resort to such crazy ways to just have the words come out right haha. What a struggle. You went for 7 years you say. How is your speec...

I don't think its the accent and speech itself that makes him not stutter. Stuttering is psychological (in most cases) and related to the stutterer's self image and ego. The guy in the video is play...

In high school I have taken a decision, that is, I will NEVER let stuttering affect my life choices.I am a stutterer, and I recently graduated from medicine. Not only that, but I chose to do it in a s...

You mean substitution? Sure. But if it becomes compulsive (habitual avoidance), that's likely not a good thing. It tends to lead to feelings of never being true to yourself....

Why I can't be Talent.

Why I can't be Talent. Today in AVTF (audio/video tech and film) I volunteered to be the cameraman for an upcoming project, I had a HUGE block on the word "cameraman" and when I was finished I turned ...

I'm not sure what to write. So if I write something overly simplistic, I apologize in advance. lol I've read somewhere that in order to change something you must first unfreeze, then change, then ref...

_When someone mentions depression and suicide, I have to mention r/depression and r/SuicideWatch. You're not alone. Get help. Get medicated. Get better._ ---   >**I mask it quite well w...

No problem and sorry for being so blunt :| General rule of thumb (imo) is anything that you do to try and avoid stuttering that isn't part of normal speaking behavior is a trick that's going to en...
