Yes staff at any place I can't seem to ask them what I want sometimes when I ask , it comes out perfect because I don't think about it but when I over think it I stutter the worst....

I lost it when he was walking and having a million conversations in his head. It can get loud sometimes. ...

This is very relatable. Especially when he is looking in the mirror. "Communication skills of an infant. Excels in the art of self-pity." FUCKING NAILS IT...

OK, this does not deserve a downvote. Come on. The scene, I actually don't know what it's from (I'll probably get down voted for that -- tho I DID live in the same neighborhood as Zach Galifiankis!)...

Your preferred response to stuttering?

Your preferred response to stuttering? I was at a grocery check out today what I heard the bagger say something. "What was that?" He responds fairly incoherently, stuttering (again, I realize). Fro...

You experienced this absence of stuttering for how many years ? The improvement of your stuttering was abrupt at the beginning ? My stuttering fluctuates a lot. But not to the point of having a fluent...

Yup, that's a known feature of stuttering. I'm pretty sure we all get that in various degrees from time to time. :) However, I think it's important that you don't start worrying about this: >I th...

Have you noticed how you feel just before you introduce yourself? And what about this; - Slouch posture - Looking away/avoiding eye contact - Other secondary behavior What do you think right befor...

I was always the quiet, fast-talking kid growing up and my stutter developed later on in my high school years; but it's more of an observation than a realization. Try not to overthink it :)...

Do you think that practicing both separately will help? If I were to constantly say 'bubble' normally over and over, I would barely improve because I simply cannot do it speaking normally like you say...

I have what you have, only everything is a tense situation for me lol. It's anxiety/stress. You are unaware of your breathing, most likely holding your breath trying to find the right word. When we ta...

I'm doing speech therapy right now and I just learned today about something stutters do called "mind reading" where they think they know what's on other people's mind but they never do. Believe me fro...

I still stutter sometimes, but I try my hardest not to let it beat me. I started out by doing a massive amount of reading. Amazon is a great place to start. Also, just through Googling I found some ve...

It's one of those things that if you think about it the worse it gets. Tried speech therapy, therapist said I should just speak slowly but easier said than done. Best advice is don't think too much ab...
