I would say about 95-98% fluent talking alone. Of course everyone is different as we can see in this thread. But to those that are fluent alone, I think it’s due to us being the most comfortable aroun...

Been stuttering on and off my whole life. I never stutter when I’m alone, with my immediate family, when I’m presenting (even in big crowds-different cadence of speech and enunciating more than usual)...

Is there a reason for this? I stutter so bad when I talk to people, it's so frustrating😭...

Sounds like it's induced or aggravated by anxiety and/or uncertainty, which is actually encouraging because you can work on those things in terms of resolving/reducing anxiety and learning to cope wit...

Do you speak normally when you're alone?

Do you speak normally when you're alone? Personally, I speak normally and stutter so little when I'm speaking to myself, but when I start speaking with someone, it gets worse. This is why I'm convin...

I thank for your full-of-knowledge posts. The anxiety part shouldn’t be overlooked. If a person has leg weakness for instance. He knows he can’t run. That’s a fact. It does not change. And it does not...

I myself think that there are PWS that stutter in all situations equally but don't stutter more in specific anxiety-inducing situations. (type 1 stutterers) And there are other PWS who usually stutte...

That’s me as well. There was a point in my life where I wasn’t so in my head about stuttering and I stuttered less for it, I had a better social life and everything. Now, I’m 30 and it’s been on my mi...

My stuttering ruin my life...

My stuttering ruin my life... I could say I use to never stutter until I got older. I did have speech classes from the age of 13-14. But now at the age of 26 I avoid talking to people. I can't have a ...
