I would say that most of us are in our heads most of the time. Since I sometimes find difficulty speaking, I retreat inward. I would not make us some flamboyant frat guy, because that’s not us. We als...

A huge part in any stutterers life is the "fakeness". Almost nobody knows a stutterers true personality. Generally shy,avoidant and fake smiling(or even fake rude) a lot because we are begging nobody ...

I would say, at least with mine, I kinda create a persona of being quite or a jerk to avoid speaking even though that’s not my personality at all. Also avoidance is common with us. Also keep in mind t...

This makes sense and happens a lot, also for me. I used to stutter in a more re-re-relaxed way. Once I became self concious about it and tried to fight it, it turned into blocks. The blocks happen whe...

Stuttering and Streaming

Stuttering and Streaming Hello everyone!!! I have a gaming channel where I upload highlights of my gameplay (self edits). I'm planning to start streaming games in the same channel and I'm super scared...

I just did whatever prevented me from stuttering severely. When I was a kid I had almost no control over it, then growing up I started to hide it by making a "click" noise with my mouth whenever I enc...

My throat gets dry, but I pass as fluent ~99% of the time to most people. My mouth does not get tired, but I speak gently most of the time....

Damn this was me 100% as a kid.... I hated school so much because I never could make friends and then I moved to 8 different schools from 5th-11th. The thing I struggled with as a kid was I never fe...

I feel like you’re already passed the scary part. You’ve been seeing him and spending time with him. The fact that your stutter isn’t prevalent around him probably just means you’re pretty comfortable...

Thank you! And wow I'm digging the way you think as well 👌 I do believe stuttering is a defence mechanism when we are in a state of low self esteem. When we are in a higher state of self esteem, ...
