No. My stutter isn't normally *that* bad, but the combination of being caught completely off guard, and having to introduce myself in front of ~100 people was a deadly combination. I'm not seeing a...

Yes it has happened in the past. I moved to a new house / area recently (more crime in this area then last) and I was going on a walk at like 10 pm in my new neighborhood. Next thing I know I have 3 c...

Thank you for sharing! I find it fascinating that we stutter for different reasons but have very similar fears. For example, saying our names, drive-thrus, phone calls, when someone asks us to repeat ...

My stutter is the absolute worst when I'm trying to quote something, or read aloud, I normally can't even do it. I'm much more fluent saying rehearsed things like customer service questions. I also ha...

I really feel this. I tend to have more issues with blocks than repeating sounds, and people just dont associate that with stuttering. Whenever I tell people I stutter, they respond with, "yeah, I stu...

Thanks for the kind words and yeah it really is frustrating to not be able to say my own name due to which I tend to avoid doing a lot of things because it's so embarrassing when you take time trying ...

That's my main issue - the speech blocks. Mine tend to happen on specific sounds, one of which is what my name starts with so I can totally relate. It used to be super frustrating and I think the anx...

I have a textbook narcissistic dad and a narcissistic/ enabling mother. I've always thought my blocks had somthing to do with that....

Loved that scene, I laughed so hard my abs got sore. "How many have gone through? I'll make it ninety-fff ninety fffff ninety ffffffffff ninety-six sir!" LMAO Thought of this today when I was in the ...

That's a good idea! My blocks happen whenever they feel like it, but I definitely struggle with my name, or regular greetings like "hello" or "hey", which is great when I'm trying to introduce myself....

I had a presentation today where I was twice the time limit. couldn't get a single word out and felt like complete shit. I feel your pain...

I’ve heard it compared to a sneeze or cough like they feel it and know it’s coming so they fight the urge for a bit longer until it’s uncontrollable and the coughing fit comes, worse than what it woul...

From what I have learned about Tourette’s syndrome...no. Stuttering doesn’t involve a strong compulsion to make movements or sounds...stuttering is more a passive experience, at least for me. I try to...

I still have burned into my memory the time I had to say "recrystallization" in Chemistry. In the end, after I'd completely run out of breath twice my teacher finally just offered me the word. She k...

If there's any way you can let your professor know ahead of time about your stutter, if they don't know already, I'm sure they will be understanding. Especially if you have a really good grade, they ...

It's always difficult. I needed a good speech therapist to help get me on the road to acceptance. I couldn't do it alone. FYI, >it’s went from severe to pretty mild now. i don’t really deal with ...

I know what you mean. When I were younger I used to fall into that trap. But im telling you with insight, I have much less blocks! I still stutter but everything is sooo smooth, my vocals dont fight m...

Yo you guys are blowing my mind. When I take vitamin B1 (been taking it for a while) I GET THE SAME THING!. Internally it feels choppy and strange and forced, yet externally for the most part the word...

Yes. Mine gets way worse around close friends and family. Completely shatters the theory of it being nerves, or tension, as I am the most relaxed around them. But nevertheless, my blocks get much wors...

I stutter alone. Alexa and me dont work very well lol Its not too bad but I still block....
