Stuttering alot more recently
Stuttering alot more recently Hey everyone, 26 M here. I been stuttering my whole life and i pretty much made peace w my stuttering. I dont feel nervous or stressed when i stutter, i just go with it....
When you avoid certain words these become ‘feared’ words, the thought of saying these cause feelings of anxiety which in turn cause you to feel tense and hence why you always have difficulty with thos...
Does anyone avoid saying certain words?
Does anyone avoid saying certain words? I’ve had my stutter since I was 4 and I’m currently in my late twenties. There are certain words that I specifically avoid or that I extremely dislike the wor...
filipinos here?
filipinos here? Are there any filipinos suffering from stuttering here? I dont know any filipinos with the same condition as i have. I get the block stutter like my throat/neck tenses up...
I've seen some benefits from the program. In my experience, the key was to get comfortable speaking a little slower. This is difficult and something I continue to struggle with....
Keeping eye contact (or equivalent, like just keeping your own eyes looking straight across, at their shoulder, or a point behind them) will likely reduce others thinking you are “not ok”....
I'm trying to keep the eye contact but yk its kinda hard but I love you advise. I should follow the hierarchy of situations....
It's a non stop practice I'm afraid! Still having to come back to this myself, having rediscovered how badly a stammer during presentations can make me fall flat on my face - not because of the stamme...
Seems like the angle of her head has changed. Looking down signals shame bc it’s avoiding eye contact. Looking more upwards (and breathing out) can instantly release a block. How much do you char...

Began stuttering suddenly.

I’d be so confused. And I think I’d still have anxiety about talking tho. Stuttering doesn’t only affect the pronunciation, but the flow, and grammar of how you talk. I think I’d still sound odd since...
I’m sorry but describing blocks as “avoidant behavior” makes it sound like it’s a choice. I don’t want to block just the same as I don’t want to stutter, it’s just how I am. I don’t think that’s a sup...
I tried to join a fraternity as well but I decided to back out during the pledging process. There was this incident where we were hazed, they made us say this members last name(his last name was hambu...
Funny you say that, I have noticed that people who usually make fun are usually the lowest IQ people. They also usually have the lowest ability when it comes to understand how others feel. They can’t ...
