When I am talking myself I rarely stutter. I also talk to myself ALOT because when I was younger I was bothered by silence whenever I was alone so I decided to fill it with my thoughts. This habit ha...

When you're talking to others, you're *communicating*, in addition to just speaking.   When you talk to yourself, you already know your message well in advance - it was already in your hea...

Very good insight and thank you, brethren. This may sound crazy but when I started working for this company, I had a warehouse gig and there were something like 20 or so employees. That was in 2010 an...

Social anxiety and stutter getting worse First time posting in this sub so howdy everyone. 30 year old male and I've stuttered all my life. I never really cared about it up until when adulthood real...

So, your question is complicated. Most people do have dysfluencies in their regular speech. 99% of people are so slight that most won't notice. Many children will see their stuttering decrease throu...

For me, if I'm blocking on a word, I'm not going to get it. I restart my sentence (or part of my sentence) and try to push through it. The issue is that this is a coping mechanism as they say in SLP (...

I'm very glad you decided to stay in the class! I have an issue particularly with blocking in classroom settings. I have always avoided taking classes that require a lot of speaking in front of the wh...

40 year old stutterer

40 year old stutterer Hey guys (and gals). I'm so glad I found this subreddit! I turned 40 last year and have stuttered for as long as I remember. My uncle stutters too so in my case it's probably ...

My 2cents. Start a cleaning company. If you have any family member or close friend that will handle the “talking/ setting up appointments” part, all you would have to do is basically the cleaning. T...

No need to feel like a douche, you did reply, albeit quietly. I'm sure cab drivers have to deal with genuine douches all the time. I sometimes do the same, though rather than speaking quietly I take ...

More annoying for me is how, on occasion I just can speak very very clearly in social interactions. No problems with word retrieval at all, no tension. At those times it's like something switched in m...

I came here looking for exactly this. I do this all the time. I had myself convinced that it was more of a memory ish issue, (I watch too much Grey's Anatomy and I am convinced that I will have alzhei...

You seem to contradict yourself. If your not afraid of speaking why would a "bad" stutter day keep you from answering questions in class? And what do you mean by being the smartest person in the room?...

I’m going to try this. I hate having to slow down. It’s really distracting and I sometimes lose my train of thought entirely. ...

>slow down and think That does help, because it means that I'm making a conscious effort to speak. I'm really jealous of all my friends who can just talk without really putting any effort into it....
