You can't just "ask" someone to lose their stutter. It's not an item on a grocery store list that you can just check off. Chances are he's fighting a mental battle with himself every day trying to re...

I ended up doing these so often when I was in university that, by the time I was done, I saw no reason to get nervous. However, I would still get nervous automatically when I knew I had to introduce m...

Hmm yeah it seems like there is no reason behind mine either. Maybe it's just in my head but i do notice it a lot when I talk more than usual. I tend to speed up my words and then the stuttering comes...

100% I think the key is allowing anxiety to build up around thinking. I find it to be an art regarding controlling yourself before and during speaking. Some days I stutter more got no particular rea...

Huh. Elaborate on that, I hold sort of similar beliefs. So your saying that there might not be a hidden problem except for our own thoughts and intrusiond that then somehow over a long period of time ...

Hi there. A year and a half ago, I was where you were. I didn't think there was any hope for me. I thought I'd have a shit future, no career, no social life, I thought I'd remain an outcast. I was w...

I've thought exactly like you in the past. You have already identified your problem - negativity - which is a huge step. Over several years, and it's a constant thing even now just like brushing my ...

I think we've all been there. I would suggest it is entirely a mental game, though. If you perceive yourself as a victim or as less than others, you're creating your own reality. Easier said than done...

It's interesting but obviously I have no scientific evidence for it. It's just something I have noticed in my own life. I genuinely doubt I'd be thinking as much as I'm doing now if I spoke fluently....

I have my own theory for this. The fact that we stutter gives us a disadvantage, therefore we have to adapt and I think most of us are very good listeners. I don't talk a lot because of my stutter so...
