Sounds a bit curious from my perspective, but that's just because I don't have that habit. And as a habit considered, I don't think we need to assume it's connected to the stuttering. However, the pr...

Sometimes I imagine a certain way of saying a word. The only thing I visualise is my approach to speaking and social situations....

Take this sentence "I'd like to have an apple". Apple is a word I likely to block on. I'll start the sentence and when reaching the difficult word, I'll visualize the word as it is written (A-P-P-L-E)...

Could you elaborate on this visualizing of yours? It's not just anticipation?...

Do you visualize words before speaking them?

Do you visualize words before speaking them? I've realized that I visualize words in my mind before speaking. Especially difficult words that I block on. This does not occur when I am fluent. I feel l...

I never used to but in the past few years sometimes. I think this is a result of thinking about it before I sleep....

How often do people tell you 'I used to stutter, I get it'...

How often do people tell you 'I used to stutter, I get it'... I feel like most of the people I encounter, that mention my stutter, end up telling me that they either used to stutter or that they still...

Yep. Blocking is pretty common among stutterers. I have it, most of the stutters I meet have it. It can get worse with age but it can also get better. Depends on how you approach it. I don't know abo...

Trying to figure out what I have

Trying to figure out what I have Growing up I stuttered a little. It usually happened when I tried to read from a book. (That sure as fun when I had to read Shakespeare). As I've gotten older (now 24)...

How to get over the fact that I stutter? Emotional state.

How to get over the fact that I stutter? Emotional state. So today in class we (6 of us) had a presentation I planned to do minimal talking because the class is a full class ~30 and that scares the cr...

Sure. You can keep making excuses for yourself or actually come to a realization that this is a problem that can be improved. Like I said I just graduated HS and I'm gonna be a freshman in college. I...

Do you block on every single word even when talking to friends? I'm 18 just graduated HS, in HS i never said a word in class, yet when I was with my friends I could be a little fluent. Sometimes I c...

Nah man. I use to not even be able to say a word. I told myself I had a "severe stutter". Go and put yourself out there, don't stay in your comfort zone. There are people, living proof that it is pos...

I don't stutter. Public speaking is scary as hell all the same. I typically worry that I'll fail to put my ideas across coherently; that I'll forget my presentation; that I'll sound stupid or childish...

It's a little upsetting, I think I stopped as a kid because I never payed much mind to it and kids minds can change and adapt better. As an adult I feel like it's only a problem because I always think...

Believe it or not but I can actually force myself no to stutter. Problem is its like a chess match and i have to think ten words ahead and speak in a montonous emotionllesss tone. But it works...

There is a signficant group of people who stutter that have a perfectionistic personality. To them every stutter feels like failing, since it's not the perfect fluent speech they demand of themselves....

In the strictest sense he's correct -- it is not stuttering that prevents you from doing x, y or z. Rather it is your reaction to stuttering that influences how you respond to certain events. You clea...

I agree with what shutuppussy said. One of the most powerful things is finding you are not alone. Maybe there is a program at your school, or a school nearby. There are a lot of support groups out the...

See if your Uni has a speech pathology program. Go there and talk to someone about getting help. Hating the fact that you can't talk because it's so "simple" is like someone with MS complaining about ...
