Same here. I liked your quote; extrovert trapped inside an introvert. So true. Whenever I feel more confident the exotrover part of me come´s out and the stuttering diminish. Just like being alone. Y...

It´s a good thing for sure. Not long ago I read a comment that goes like this: I don´t fear speaking, I fear stuttering. Many people think we have a fear of getting judge on our words and sure, some ...

I've faced same issue all my life. We have social anxiety caused by the fear of stuttering in front of others. But last few years I've learnt several strategies to overcome this, and have been consist...

Basically I feel like I could have been much much more successful and have bigger influence on my friends, family and society if I didn't have this stutter. ​ That's not a fair statement to m...

I don't quite understand

I don't quite understand I stutter, but only if I am nervous or excited which is basically 90% of my time. I tried speaking out loud when I was alone and I spoke surprisingly fluent, so I figured tha...

Big presentation in 3 days

Big presentation in 3 days I've had my stutter my whole life(I'm 16), and it really does affect my life. I'm no less outgoing because of it but I don't participate a lot because whenever I have to spe...

I used to stutter alone or even on imaginary conversations, but it was on rare occasions. I had an experience in college when I was trying to make a video presentation for my class. I knew exactly ...

I’ve thought travelling and a change of scenery would do good for me, but it was the opposite. People knew I was a tourist and were curious to know where I was from, but unfortunately I blocked on the...

blocking at a loud bar on the dance floor is the worst, especially when you are talking to a stranger...

Yes I do, there is no escape for me. Last night I had a dream i was at some resort or something, and I went to order a drink at the bar, and I had the same sense of panic and anxiety I do in real life...

I start my speech communication class tomorrow, any experiences or tips?

I start my speech communication class tomorrow, any experiences or tips? Ngl this class has me worried a little bit. I have a mild stutter with the occasional block but I’m fairly decent when I’m comf...

Great comment! Question: What can we do if we use affirmations suggested by OP, while desensitizing to such **pressure** that you pointed out? (e.g., **pressure** to speak more fluently, time **pressu...

If it works for you then it works for you. I personally find it adds too much pressure on myself that I absolutely *must* be fluent on a word as if I’d get shot down for it when I shouldn’t be! My aff...

It's really difficult but learning to accept is a process that you have to work at overtime. The more you ignore that inner thought you have will become muscle memory to just ignore those bad thoughts...

I also felt like this growing up in school, I was never able to come to the conclusion if it was all in my head or not. I would try talking to the teacher honestly...

What I meant by "changing my life radically" was to become a completely different person, physically and emotionally. But thinking about it, yes, as you said, it's not that easy. I understand that mo...

I have a stutter that comes and goes, and it was worse when I was a kid. It's taken years of therapy and different techniques, and it's gotten better, but I still have trouble with blocked words. Once...

Should I change my life radically?
