I'm 100% hiding it. The people closest to me with whom I talk constantly will more than likely notice *something* in my speech patterns that's off. All that I've heard is that (at my worst) I'll pause...

First off, you replied to a comment I made in response to a question I was asked from someone else. To avoid confusion, don't ask an unrelated question under a parent comment. Second, I'm not sure I...

If "virtually" no one knows you stutter, then you're either lying to yourself or you're hiding from everyone around you. Doesn't really sound that appealing to be honest....

That's great. If you can get past the anxiety and say what you intend to say, that is the most important thing. I went to a two week intensive (AIS in NYC) where they really stressed the importance of...

This is what I experienced. My stutter itself hasn't diminished, but I feel more talkative and less conscious about it. So it does help your fluency because a fundamental goal in speech therapy for st...

It's good to hear it is possible - I'm still at the stage where I need to *stop caring*. It seems like the biggest hurdle. ...

Yeah confidence issues can block flow of speech. But it's also important to know how speech occurs which is naturally. NOT by force or techniques when u consciously move your tounge in taught ways to...

Are you me? Modeling stuttering after others / feeling it's a developed behavior rather than innate. Mute through high school, girlfriend opened you up, sunk deep into WoW. Played guitar. Better spee...

I've been starting to take this approach when it comes to presentations. I used to practice my lines to the point where I had memorized every word I was going to say. This is a basic presentation tech...

I tend to agree with you, this is the final mindset one has to achieve IMO, be completely stress-free about your stuttering and say whatever the fuck you want to say. But it's very hard to achieve tha...

I wouldn't. Agree with most people on here, it's a big deal for others only if you let them know it's a big deal to you(and it is, it's the only deal isn't it?). Keep 'me guessing and profit....

I really don't know how to approach it. I've been hiding for so long that I can't imagine just being completely open..I guess just start talking! ...

I personally wouldn't. I've found that people will react to the fact that you stutter based on how you do. If you act like you have a disability, people will treat you like you do too. If you're open ...

Indeed, no one is completely fluent, not even non-stutterers, in all honesty. Rather, the real goal should be to minimize its impact on your life, and therefore eventually overcome its control over yo...

There is a difference between talking more and talking more. Talking more because it's required from you (at the job) won't really help, I agree. But talking more because you just let yourself go and ...

Anyone else feel like they're extravert but are held back by stuttering?

Anyone else feel like they're extravert but are held back by stuttering? I don't consider myself an introvert at all. I genuinely enjoy talking to lots of people and initiating conversations and appro...

The third option is stopping the war and winning the fight. For as long as stuttering is a problem to you, it will continue to be a problem. If you're always fighting it, you will always be fighting i...

Meditation, yoga, developing a heightened sense of awareness, disconnecting from your mind, focusing on the present moment...all ways to have the same results but in a sober state. ...

Because your anxiety isn't on your mind, you aren't thinking about the stutter so you speak mostly fluently. One of the worst aspects of stuttering in my opinion...if only we could forget we have it...
