recent change in my attitude to my stutter

recent change in my attitude to my stutter my stutter has never really bothered me until recently. i first remember stuttering in middle school but i am fairly sure that is just when i noticed it and...

You explained the block sensation very well. It's like your brain short circuits for a second and you simply cannot say the word, whether your mind is preoccupied or you're nervous about stuttering. I...

>I think that when I just let my thoughts flow off my tongue, and I literally don't think at all before speaking, I tend not to stutter. That was exactly the same for me, the more i thought about ...

Hi all, first time posting here, I'm 31/m/pws, glad to see this sub exists!

Hi all, first time posting here, I'm 31/m/pws, glad to see this sub exists! Hi, so yeah I'm 31 and I've stuttered my entire life. Before I discovered reddit I spent some time on a website devoted to s...

Well mine is very mild to be honest, so I cannot speak for everyone, but it's fine for me, doesn't bother me what so ever, most days I go without stuttering and it's fine to communicate. I think the ...

Think of stuttering as an iceberg model i.e. 10% is what you see, 90% is what you don't see. The act of stuttering is just the end result of a myriad of other things that went wrong i.e. word scanni...

I hate that fact that speech pathologists and researchers don't understand what stuttering is. It's like that line from Good Will Hunting "If I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinn...

Haha that's a rough day man! Hope it turns around. Crazy how for most people talking is such a simple thing but, for us, blocking is a constant thought and worry lurking over you whenever words spill ...

>When it comes talking to people I believe it's all a mental game. Even though I consciously may think x person is not intimidating what so ever... my unconscious mind may think otherwise. It's rea...

Thanks again for the response. I'm relieved to hear that if I had a child he/she wouldn't mimic my speech and develop bad habits or a the wrong feedbook loop for speech that I have. In regards to ...

The dreaded telephone

The dreaded telephone Being a life long stutterer, I know first hand the telephone phobia most of us develop over time. Those awkward moments when your blocking on a word and the person thinks the cal...

omg this is an amazing quote. It got to me hard. I am, with validation from my English professor, a really good writer and I feel this way all of the time, but I thought about it. I'm what's preventin...

I don't think there is anything all that unusual about your stutter as you describe it. It sounds like you're very internalized with it. You have certain sounds you react to and you are using avoidan...

really interesting. I actually also have a hard time around "safe" people or environments. It's almost as if I know I should feel ok and comfortable so I stop trying and the stuttering just goes free ...

What worked best for you? This is crippling.

What worked best for you? This is crippling. Hey all, This is my first time posting here, and my first time posting anywhere about my stutter, for that matter. As a little background, I'm 23 and work...

I'm in the middle of reading the book "How we decide"and i've come across something interesting. People perform much worse when they overthinking at something they do naturally .In the book were give ...

Is my stutter "unprofessional" and does it make me sound like I don't know what I'm talking about?

Is my stutter "unprofessional" and does it make me sound like I don't know what I'm talking about? I'm very upset right now. I am an engineering student and just returned from an important lab demons...

It is true for people who stutter in the same sense that it is true for people who don't stutter. Anxiety, in some people, results in increased muscle activity (rigidity and tension). This can cause...

This is really good advice. You might be able to figure a little bit about why you stutter too. I know I was able to. My psychiatrist actually gave me some really good advice. He said that one thing ...

I think you're over analyzing. If I were to humor your theory I'd be guessing he'd be anxious about the gifts he'd receive, and he wants to be on his best behavior....
