I have the same situation. Took a gap year so I could focus on my speech before joining University. In the meantime, I planned on working in a Call Center. Socially, I found my speech getting better a...

Hi I'm 30 and I feel your pain. Just have to focus on the good in your life and realize these feelings won't last forever, you can be fluent. I feel like the less I think about stuttering the more ...

Yes, but my mom would MAKE me always order no matter what. That gave me confidence. However, lately.. my stuttering has gotten 100x worse. Probs all the stress from this pandemic. Ordering has been ha...

Holy fuck is that why my memory is so bad? Things make a lot more sense I can’t remember dates people tell me for shit because if I’m in a social situation I’m always in fight or flight mode....

I used to stuttered from a very young age (when my dad left actually) until 10 and then it came back from 15 to 21-22. Worst thing that could happen to me back then was to read something out loud at h...

Yes! I struggled in university because of this too.. I was under so much stress worrying about presentations and speaking in class that it really took a hit to my ability to retain information. Most o...

I'm no doctor but that could have triggered it. The social anxiety. That's how it happened with me too. I've stuttered my whole life but it was never an issue. It became an issue only when social anx...

It's rare for stutters to manifest at that late of an age. Usually it comes at around 5. It could be anxiety related, did you develop any anxiety problems at that age too?...

No, not really. Sure, premenstrual symptoms like cramping, bloating, fatigue, etc could exasperate my stress and enrgey levels which normally make my stutter more pronounced, but not necessarily more ...

I'd totally agree with this. I had gained a confidence speaking those words I usually stutter on. Then Quarantine started. Now it takes a 1% stress to me to eff up my speech....

All. The.time. however, I've recently started analyzing my stuttering patterns, which btw I should've done long time back. I've noticed that many other factors affect my level of anxiety during those ...

Exercise and meditation help to reduce overall anxiety which can help decrease the effects of stuttering. The mechanism that causes stuttering, at least for me, seems to be hyper-sensitive to any ty...

Masks impede too much air flow. I have to take deep breaths to pronounce sounds starting with th, tr and h so masks are actually a disadvantage for me....

Hi! First of all, great initiative! I'm on mobile, which makes it impossible to see your post as I'm commenting, but I'll attempt a few answers and hope I didn't forget anything. Stuttering varies l...

I have been thinking about what you said. When you said about changing the enviroment im in, could it be because of quarantine? Back when i was in class i could speak fluently but now when i have a ca...

Oh wow, accurate! It gets me every time. I would think a lot of us stutterers use humour to cover up our anxiety which makes it extra sad when we mess up our own jokes...my mind kinda goes ‘hahaaauugg...

Folks with social anxiety/fear of public speaking (both are actual disorders) also stutter but it’s different, they only stutter with certain people and/or in particular situations and there’s actuall...
