Seems to me that stuttering around strangers and being more fluent amongst friends/family/people that you know well, is more common? I'm the opposite. The better I get to know people, the more likely ...

im sometimes like that on the b-ball court, if they dont hear me the first time. i just say nvm lol...

From my experience, stuttering is caused by some sort of brain activity that is not letting you think enough about speaking. In my experience, that activity is social anxiety. You probably don't stutt...

Logotherapy and paradoxical intention

Logotherapy and paradoxical intention I have just finished reading Man's Search for Meaning by Victor E. Frankl and at the end is a section about Logotherapy. I wondered whether anyone uses, has heard...

Yeah, I it cost me $100 per hour session... It hurt the bank but taught me some techniques using a computer program that measured your easy onset etc etc while you speak into it. Only problem is I fee...

So for me, I realized that not only do I have issues with conversation, I also have issues focusing on other things in general. I got diagnosed with ADD and generalized anxiety. I really think there'...

Graduating college May 16th with an accounting degree! I'm absolutely motivated and excited to launch my career, I just need to practice not freaking the fuck out during interviews. My speech has been...

If i think only once about how fluent I speak,I stutter on the easiest of the words! So I always keep low ecpectations about my speech and don't get too excited if i get fluent for a long time....

That is the issue that I am not able to focus on the conversation but for fluent speakers it is often a involuntary,subconscious kind of a speech.But I can't do spontaneous talks....

I've always felt that my mind was a giant cluster fuck of thoughts spiraling out of control. While doing tasks like homework my mind is in outer space thinking of something completely irrelevant to wh...

I can totally relate to this. When I'm focused on the topic, instead of my speech, I'm great. Problem is, I have a very difficult time doing that. Sometimes, I'll be talking just fine, and I will r...

Yeah, that sounds really similar to me. It's hard to say how frequent just because it's always been there, albeit more controlled at some times than others. But just to give you an idea, on my first...

If I don't care it gets much worse ... If I care then I get caught up and stutter....

I'm just going to repost my response to another poster. It's not a current project. It's a lifelong project and a commitment. It's a state of mind. It's viewing stuttering holistically. It's a...

You didn't answer the question. I don't get the chicken-egg reference. I don't know where you got it into your head that speaking more will cure stuttering. Thats such a simplistic way of thinking...

Thank you for the help. I'm currently in a viscous cycle..the more I think about my speech, the worse it is. The worse it is...the more I think about it. Thanks again!!...

It's a chicken-egg scenario. Stuttering is not caused by not speaking enough. I know full well what my capabilities are and what is or isn't causing them, so I don't need evangelising. I agree to a p...

I think your afraid to get out of your comfort zone and are in denial--we are terrible speakers. To be an effective speaker, including those who don't stutter, takes practice. Stutterers are behind ...

People don't stutter because they're not as good at talking as normal people, I don't think you quite get how it works. Practising talking might work for some, but it's not the answer for most people...

Makes a ton of sense. I've had my charity when I was completely fluent and articulate in a class presentation. "This was all in my head"...
