I'm female, 33 years old, been stuttering since I was 7, and in grad school right now, also US. I've let all my professors know that I stutter and I answer my questions with the chat box on Zoom. I mi...

Hi. A few things... >I'm wondering if it has something to do with overworking myself? It could be. I find that I am more fluent when I've had plenty of sleep, exercise, and positive treatments t...

I'm a female stutterer as well! I'm 28 and have stuttered my whole life. In the last 6 years or so I've gained strategies and confidence to be more open about my stutter. Ie. For online school, if I h...

Hey everyone. I feel you. I work in sales, before it was easier (believe it or not) when you could “hide” behind a screen on the phone. Sometimes I just pretended to put a persona on. Now with video m...

Thank you so much for your response. I’m Norwegian and started the course in Spain. I’ve learned «how to master» my stuttering in Norwegian, but I think learning my techniques and flow in English woul...

I see so many people on here, especially in the “rants” who seem to not understand that through the bad stuttering experiences in your life (we’ll call that trauma even though it might technically no...

You are completely correct in worrying about anxiety. Anxiety and fear took me to the most depressed state I’ve ever experienced. What I realized, and of course everyone has their own insecurities tha...

Haha I love this. What I do when on the phone is just talk to myself in my washroom mirror. Not sure why I speak more fluently when I do....

YESS!! MAN. KEEP GOING! ITS ALL ABOUT THE MIND! ​ I CURED MY STUTTERING WITH HIS METHODS AND BY EXPOSING MYSELF TO CERTAING SOCIAL SITUATIONES THAT I WAS "FORCED" TO BE IN... REALLY, ...

For some reason, I stutter WAY more when I talk one the phone. When I have Zoom calls, I am more relaxed and don’t stutter as much. Maybe it’s because when I’m on the phone, my voice is the point of f...

If I’m on the phone, sometimes I’ll put it on speaker and and step away to speak. It’s easier for me to speak aloud than to feel like I’m speaking directly to someone...

Whenever relatives would come and visit my mum (who I live with) I’d keep my interaction with them very brief and I have no idea what they thought about that as I don’t discuss my stammer with my fami...

Thank you for sharing. I can totally relate to this. When I started a new school (long time ago, I'm an old man now) I didn't know anybody. Even though I stuttered pretty much at the time I managed n...

Check out chasegillis on Instagram. He has been the only teacher that talks about anxiety/confidence being a source for stuttering. Could be useful to you and your paper...

After 31 years of avoiding certain situations, getting out of school presentations, having friends introduce me, having people call and make appointments for me — I need to come to terms with the fact...

Wow this is EXACTLY me. When I’m drunk I get so confident I talk for so long with random people without stumbling on a single syllable. That could never happen when I’m sober. But, when I’m high I act...

I also stop stuttering when I’m drunk so I think mine is just a confidence issue....

Same with me. I don’t stutter when I’m drunk or high. It’s funny that I get more talkative and don’t stutter for shit....

>We just had a Zoom call and i didnt speak in the whole 2 hours just because I was anxious **and thought that since i didnt speak in the beginning, it would be weird to speak now and that everyone ...

I can relate to this. Personally I think there's a blurry line between introversion (which is different from shyness) and stuttering. ​ Many non-stuttering introverts feel drained after i...
