Fluent. Meditation and improving my awareness. Nothing is purely physical or mental. Your mind affects your body and your body affects your mind. Becoming aware and listen to your body and mind is ...

Sure, that's a big part of stuttering, I think. It can get rather confusing when you start juggling multiple variants of what you mean to say. Also, these avoidance tactics can become part of the stut...

I absolutely relate. It is like the sentence a non-stuttered would structure is the freeway - super quick, convenient, and easy. Then I try to say that same thing....start on the freeway, and real...

That could very well be the case. Maybe it's very much worth just working on my mental state when speaking it in front of people and making sure I don't get too worked up. Though, I wonder how I can "...

When I was a young teenager (13-15), I just kind of assumed (and hoped, I guess) that eventually I would grow out of it and it would just go away. I hit my early 20s and that hadn't happened, so I ju...

Second this about being nervous. Your tips and tricks are very helpful. I've also had similar expirences in terms of diverting more conscious energy toward speaking helps prevent blocks...

I find that when I am nervous or talking to someone who is watching my face intently it gets worse. Like people who make a lot of direct eye contact and after they're done talking look at me to see my...

It's tricky. You're focusing on not focusing on your speech. I think the issue lies in the fact that there is a need to "focus". There is effort being put in in some form. Whenever there is added...

In your opinion, why do you think you experience mental blocks when speaking?

Well there's a character in DMC4 that stutters (that you have to kill) but I can't really think of an actual game that has stuttering as a subject. If you want a movie tho there's always the King's Sp...

I empathize with your situation, I have had lots of presentations in college and at work and I've had many job interviews. The worst thing you can do is be unprepared, you should have a rap memorized ...

A problem my friend had with this is he was thinking faster than he could speak. He had to slow down his thought dialogue and his almost went away entirely....

Yeah, I just power through it. If I feel like what I said was garbled or didn't sound right, I'll repeat it and it's usually easier the 2nd or 3rd time out of my mouth haha. By nature I'm a conversati...

No and that is why I think you should let them know. Im pretty sure I got penalized for those few instances of stuttering because the examiner mistook them as a sign of non fluency in English. ...

First of all, definitely keep the mic. I don't know why, but holding something in your hands, particularly a mic, will help. Trust me on this. Secondly, just practice it. A zillion times. Say it in t...

This is one of the best portrayals of the 'internal' side of stuttering. The way the different possiblilties are constantly going through his head really resonated with me. Its something I do on a r...

Wow that actually does make a lot of sense to be honest. I sort of knew meditation and yoga calmed and sharpened the mind but I never connected the dots. Thanks that's excellent advice....

My stutter is occasional. Is this frequent?

My stutter is occasional. Is this frequent? Hello guys, I'm pretty new to this sub, but not to stuttering. I didn't stutter as a kid and I started doing it when I was about 10-11 (now I'm 20). The thi...

Numbering was accidental haha. Practicing helps - definitely! That's a given. That's where you'll remember your talk which'll allow you to focus on how you're speaking. Good to hear your experiences...

Haha I'm not sure if you meant to do it but the list is just #1 repeated 3 times. Also, if its worth anything, I've had to do two big presentations to the VP of my company + about 30 other higher up...
