Like all things, practice makes perfect. Having lengthy conversations is no exception. First of all, though, I can already see that you have built up a mental resistance to longer conversations. This ...

I find that I do the same thing. I feel like my stutter has conditioned me to have short responses in conversations because I dont want to stutter. But now I just force myself to say what's on my mind...

Yeah, I try to but it's like my brain goes on auto pilot when I start to stutter and I tense up. I'll try to remember that, thanks!...

Agreed. Stuttering is what you do when your trying not to stutter. Understanding this is easy, rewiring your brain to not fear speaking or certain words is a different story. It's a process....

from my experience, dont put too much pressure on the facial muscles, just try to speak slowly with less stress...

very true, in my experience, the things you dont do because of fear of stuttering, these are the things you should do intentionally, this really helps, the fear in the mind is the main reason, and sp...

I do clench my jaw and will do hand gestures - like enunciating with my hands will help. I started a new job where I have to be very precise and articulate. This is actually helping me as it’s forci...

Formal evidence of stutter for University?

Formal evidence of stutter for University? I have stuttered for the past 10 years (not from birth). My university course currently has multiple modules where there is an assessed verbal presentation ...

I never had much of a strategy for speeches. I think having a strategy makes me more focused on my speaking and then I stutter more. So I focus on my technical stuff and audience instead. And yes I st...

Good Luck to you. I took public speaking in college last semester and as a stutterer myself it was a pretty nerve racking experience. I actually did very well throughout the whole class though and har...

Biggest interview of my life this weekend Hi everyone. I have a really important interview this weekend for a scholarship to my dream school, and my stuttering has been getting me down. I wrote about ...

Remember SPEAK VERY SLOWLY, and follow the flow, relax dont think two things at the same time, go by one, i know u wanna say a lot stuff but take it slowly, and please let u s know How y’all date went...

I have two methods that aren't 100% reliable but they often work: 1. The classic "umm, uhh, umm" before starting the sentence helps the words flow out by kind of piggybacking off the umms and ahhs. 2...

I know what you are feeling, because i tend to do the same. I'm 22, been hiding my stutter for years. It's not severe, but more than enough to bother me and affect my life in many ways. Over the ye...

Your experiences are very similar to mine! In the past, I've been able to fly under the radar really well by substituting words. Many people have told me that they never noticed unless I told them. My...

Covert stuttering

Covert stuttering Hi everyone I am what you could call a covert stutterer. In short this means I often hide my stutter by using different words or not even engaging in talking when I want to. End resu...

To me it depends on the severity of the stutter and the experience overall. if i stuttered really bad then ruminating for me makes me depress, i start to think about the whole situation and thinking o...

Does speech therapy work and is it worth pursuing? What can I expect and what are your experiences with speech therapy? I'm 22. I've done some speech therapy here and there and sometimes it helped, ot...

My Speech on stammering

My Speech on stammering Im 16 and I have had a stammer for pretty much as long as I can remember and I’d say it’s been 8/10 for most of my life. I recently had to give a speech for my English GCSE spe...

Yeah this always happens when I talk without caring I stammer way less and when I think about it loads and keep replaying myself stammering it’s way worse ...
