I feel like I have a fairly prominent stutter, but it seems like most people I mention it to say that they never noticed it. Now I don't know if they say that to be nice or if they're being honest but...

Stuttering is insidious. It not only obstructs our speech, it does much worse. It crushes our confidence. It dictates our choices. It colors how we look at things. Much as you described. Speech thera...

I found a mind-blowingly perfect stuttering analogy in a research paper (unknown author)

I found a mind-blowingly perfect stuttering analogy in a research paper (unknown author) The resounding conclusion I come to when pondering stuttering is perfectly summed up in this. I’d be curious to...

I’m so cripplingly lonely and frustrated

I’m so cripplingly lonely and frustrated I’m well over a month into university, and it seems like everyone has already made strong friendships. While I did do well in the first week of university, I’v...

From experience it just softens the entry on some types of blocks. Being in that frame of mind also helps me be less afraid too (I'm gonna stutter so there is nothing to hide etc.)...

Yup, it's like there's some insecurity that manifests within us that keeps us so worried about stuttering and blocking despite us having the full awareness that it really isn't a big thing. It's like ...

It's kind of reassuring to hear that. I was recently interviewed about my stutter and I mentioned one of the reasons it can be exhausting to speak because there's a little guard in my mind, always on ...

I tried to edit out the stutter but it was too noticeable, its worse when I have a script too for some reason. Might just pay for a speaker to just do a voiceover on fiverr, I know some Youtuber do th...

I swear it's directly linked to confidence, when I was more confident it all but disappeared and it seems the more hectic and busy my life gets the worse it gets due to nervousness and stress....

Sometimes at home I talk to myself ALOT and my parents would think its great but idk if it's working I'm still stuttering as normal :/...

Yea, I think it's mostly because I see my own face in video calls/work meetings. It's just like a hit to my ego seeing myself struggle so much to string together an elementary sentence. Whereas other ...

Blocking isn't ugly. Stuttering on the sound is ugly (when there's a lot of tension). You block because you are unwilling to stutter on that sound and show how ugly it might be. But you're unwilling i...

How do you accept the ugliness of blocking?

How do you accept the ugliness of blocking? I understand the title can seem a bit harsh for those who may feel offended, but as someone who has stuttered all my life and deal/dealt with severe blocks ...

I'm speaking for myself here but I had a (subjectively) traumatic childhood. This knocked my confidence so much.. So for myself it's 100% a confidence thing. Surrounding myself with a positive envi...

Ok so I’m a bad stutterer. You probably can’t tell on the phone or zoom, something about that relaxes me. But if I have to give a short presentation at work I am the ultimate mess. It gives me panic a...

Maybe because for many, stuttering is more of an internal experience opposed to speech repetitions that you always can hear. Many people that stutter are doing everything they can to not be noticed as...

Finished an interview

Finished an interview Today I had a job interview and I stuttered but I still feel like I did a great job. I’ve always been a covert stutterer with a lot of self esteem issues so for me, that’s huge. ...

Well if their that good at hiding it that another stutterer couldn't detect then I'd assumed that persons stutter wasn't much of a stuttering issue to begin with. I've met one stutterer in the last 10...
