I have a friend who also stutters and even though we never talk about the fact the we stutter, I like to think he knows that I stutter. Us stutters know when a person stutters. Anyways, he suggested...

Thank you for answering my “reworded” question. I once worked at a place where I had to use a radio for communication. Initially I had started in a lower position at this company but they moved me u...

Haha yes. Or when I get the word out but the air flow was so off people don’t get it and I have to say it again lol...

Yeah at least I had that relief that it was all over haha. Did try to distract myself but my mind always went back to it. Especially when you're not doing much like trying to sleep. ...

At least you made it through alive lol I know your pain. For me, the nerves I get before a speech are worse than giving the actual speech and stuttering. Like you, I always overthink the hell out of t...

You know, I tend to not use the word "confidence". It doesn't quite sound like what I experience. I think I like the word "familiarity" instead. Like, we know sort of what to expect, which means we do...

Thanks for the reply! I agree I shouldn't have dismissed my rationale for why it happens. It does make stuttering worse because it adds anxiety and pressure before you even start talking. I agree that...

Yes! Absolutely. I don’t stutter too much, but ALWAYS stutter when asked to repeat myself. To combat this, I will try to say it a different way. “I’m going to the ball game tomorrow” “What did you ...

This happens to me all the time. It's weird how we can tell what words going to be a problem before we have even tried to say them. I guess it's like what others say that we have remembered in the pa...

Mental Imagery & Stuttering

Mental Imagery & Stuttering Over the course of a few years I've noticed some mental imagery going on when I'm stuttering or about to stutter. First image when I'm about to stutter on a word is s...

When asked to repeat something it’s kind of a “reset button” for me. More often than not it comes out way easier and better the second time. Although your example is pretty specific. I don’t know abo...

Does anyone else stutter more when asked to repeat something?

Does anyone else stutter more when asked to repeat something? Or is it just me?? I block 90 percent of the time for some reason its so annoying! someone in class today asked me to repeat what the prof...

Run through the sentence, no not that word, can't start a sentence with an h, change it to that, ok, no pause, here I go... Didn't come out, no one noticed, than God, ok, 1...2... Topics changed, than...

I went to speech therapy myself and overtime and especially through high school it got a bit rough not to mention the situation at work. I realized that the more I thought about it the more anxious i...

When you stutter, have you ever analyzed what your body is doing?

When you stutter, have you ever analyzed what your body is doing? I'm talking about your facial muscles, eyes, lips, tongue, chest, stomach, hands, etc. During a stutter have you ever frozen your body...

I think you've hit on something big in stuttering. We all have a reaction to stuttering and the degree and valence of our reaction will influence the degree of those reactions we have to stuttering. I...

Some early researchers called stuttering what you do to avoid stuttering. I think OP has an overall point, however. At it's base, stuttering is just the disruption of speech. There is a reaction to th...

Neurological component and psychological component

Neurological component and psychological component I do to some extent agree that stuttering has neurological bases. But what if we were only left with neurological component excluding every thing els...

I only stutter when I think I'm going to stutter.

I only stutter when I think I'm going to stutter. If I'm not thinking about stuttering at all, I don't stutter, but the moment I start thinking that I'll stutter, that's when I stutter. Its so frustra...
