While I agree, confusing his sister for his wife doesn’t help the cause. Sometimes it does seem he’s trying to cover a block. Other times I’m really concerned about his state of mind....

I think that's the age messing with his brain, not stuttering....

I don't think a lot of that is stuttering. Like he obviously has a stutter, you can tell when he uses word replacement and such but sometimes he does seem to genuinely forgot what is going on...

What we are seeing from Biden is not a stutter. This is literally cognitive decline. He doesn’t know where he is, what day it is, what he’s running for. People are trying to brush over this and pret...

Yup. I think this is exactly what was going on. Might need medical evaluations to determine if there is any dementia or anything like that but this is my theory. ... Because I've done the same thing ...

I hate it so much when u speak a sentence very clearly and STILL someone doesn't heard u or whatever and yepp.. the 2nd sentence goes full with stutter...

The one thing I hate about stuttering..

The one thing I hate about stuttering.. When you’re talking to someone and say the sentence without tension or effort. You don’t stutter...hooray! ....then they say “What?” and you have to repeat wha...

Does anyone else have it where you can say a sentence fine at first, but then if someone asks you to repeat what you just said it turns into a struggle to repeat it again clearly?...

New to the subreddit, looking for help.. i guess

New to the subreddit, looking for help.. i guess Hello. I have been stuttering for as long as i can remember (I’m 18). And I recently came across this subreddit, and I have some questions since I ha...

I have a group interview with 8 candidates on Monday. I’m afraid I’ll block too. This is my dream job and I can’t let it slip....

You're right, it's a contradiction. Some experts call it 'the art of non-doing'. Basically you need to try not to try. In the context of speaking, you shouldn't at all feel like you need to (actively)...

Thinking what I'm going to say almost always, without fail, makes my stutter worse. Spontaneous speech increases my fluency....

This is interesting. My spontaneous decision making has always been terrible. You could ask me a basic math problem that I wouldn't expect and I could get it wrong. My quick decision making has always...

Or it could be that if you don't think about what you're saying you have more cognitive bandwidth for speech fluency and proper coordination of breath, articulators, etc....

Careful not to focus on one particular narrow route of description and analysis. There are many contexts for spontaneity, and in truth, there are many situations where a stutterer may enter into. Only...

I have anecdotally noticed that if i dont think about what im saying that it can help me speak better. I think it has an unintended effect in that i say some dumb stuff sometimes, ha ha. Not a scient...

The problem with your theory, in my opinion, is that you are simply not accounting for cause and effect properly. Its like theorizing that people stutter because they get nervous. Well sure, nervous...

I get your point. Back in school i used to be sort of like the class clown and that meant and i had to be spontaneous and be quick. My joker inside let go of these jokes with ease and when i said them...
