So my last job was working in customer service for an electronic company. I remember a specific call where I had to tell them to contact an electrician. I could say "you would need to contact a.e.. e....

It is not common to develop a stutter at your age. However, what you describe does line up with some people's experience of what it is like to stutter. I think you addressed this in the post, but to...

Perhaps the first time he struggled with the word "truck" he reapproached it by repeating "fire" and it worked, and then in subsequent scenarios he still expected to have trouble with it, so it gradua...

Yeah, it's stalling according to John Harrison as he described it in his book Redefining Stuttering. You have a mental block on the word 'truck' or the 't' sound and therefore you keep repeating the w...

I'm no expert but I stutter and I can only describe stuttering as a mental block, you are so caught up in trying to say the words you do anything to try and get them out! And also what you're saying c...

I always describe it as a sneeze that won't come. Like, it's just tickling ya. But it won't come out....

Think of it as your brain being able to communicate without any issues... 100% fluent. As soon as you go to say the word (that you stutter on), a sudden word block rushes over you and it's nearly impo...

> Have you ever been able to say 'non' without stuttering? Yes I have, but it rarely happens tbh. And I might be wrong but I noticed that the times that I don't stutter on that word are the times ...

>My stuttering is caused by my **emotionality**, so this means that there could be **days where I stutter a lot and days where I don't stutter at all**. Variance is part of regular stutter, so I d...

I take a big breath and let it out slowly, then try again. Works a lot of the time for me ...

I feel like restarting the sentence helps with me as well, but these days, I've been trying to directly deal with the words that I get stuck on themselves. How does relaxing your jaw work? Do you try ...

I just try to relax my whole body and jaw before I even speak. If I block on a word, I take a breath and start the sentence or phrase over again. Just trying to resay the word doesn't really help me. ...

Thank you. It was especially awkward when I couldn't introduce myself. When we went on to another part of the group interview he said some slick remark like: " Come on, you can't be quiet forever. You...

Thank you! Great advice. My experience is similar to yours with blocking. Appreciate it!...

What does stuttering feel like? How does it feel for you?

Aaaaaannnnd, it somehow got worse :/

Aaaaaannnnd, it somehow got worse :/ So, I randomly developed a stutter one day, first it was the beginning of every sentence, with a weird tic, and now it's like every other word. I didn't even know ...

For me, I cannot handle the little pleasantries at the end of a conversation. When someone says "have a good day", I plan to say "you too" or something and at the same time start walking away, so I b...

This is so weird, I used to do something similar when I played piano as a kid. When I would start a passage sometimes and would pause in the middle, I had a hard time mentally hitting the keys again t...

I don't think that's related to stuttering - as far as I can tell, stuttering is specifically linked to the "speech" area of the brain and writing (or even singing, in most cases) won't trigger it. Th...

In that case, theoretically you should be good if you can gain better control over your stutter. It's curious that it happens outside of stuttering situations though (even if very rarely). Have you co...
