I know it before I even talk, people think I speak thoughtfully but I’m actually just struggling inside word swapping on the spot lol....

Youre def right but i stutter even when im talking to myself so that throws it off.....

I don't think it affects my actual stuttering, but it does make me more comfortable. If I am on a call, the caller now knows I am not breaking up. If I make a weird face, they know I am not having a s...

Read somewhere and it fits perfectly Stuttering is something we do in order to avoid stuttering...

Great reply. See my new [comment here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1blaf83/comment/kw6fxze/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). I a...

Exactly! Great comment! If we think we are going to stutter (as you pointed out), the more likely we will actually stutter. And thus, what most of us then aim for is to rely on the expectation to "red...

Nope. It makes it worse for me. I find I stutter less around people who don't know I stutter. Once they find out, that's when it gets bad. For example, my ex didn't even know I stuttered for the first...

I was coming in here to strongly disagree with the title but if you change "stuttering" to "avoidance" I think you have a pretty good post (minus the breathing stuff).  You are correct, if you chang...

The problem of anticipation with blocks A long time ago, I developed the habit of anticipating my blocks so that I can plan around them or substitute words. I'm sure many of you have done the same. Ho...

I guess u can call this a vent lol I've kind of starting stammering since about October last year out of no where. To be honest it can either be good or bad but boy it affects my life. I've dealt with...

It's called modeling obviously---did you take that michael williams course!!!! I took it did not help me....a stuttering trying to mimic someone else won't make one fluent---least in my experience......

I had a professor NEVER call on me again after she heard my stutter 😭 like she heard it a few times when I would answer questions in class (I like to participate in class) but then she knew to not ca...
