I totally feel you. I used to be able to engage in conversations years ago with no issues and now it feels like an impossible task because I'm all up in my head. I have ADD and I'm prescribed an amphe...

I am asocial

I am asocial And I feel bad about it. The only conversation I bother having is non-vocal i.e. texting. I don't go to parties, and when I do I dread every second of it. In casual conversation I cann...

I don't believe there is a scientific cure for stuttering. It's literally all in your head. I mean... why do you think you don't stutter alone? Or stutter when talking to animals? Because you're not n...

Oh YEAH, that's probably a big cause . Like I've got asthma (doctor says) but I'm too afraid to ask my parents for meds....

My main meds are AMITRIPTYLINE GABAPENTIN (I have met a guy that never stuttered until he was on this med and he started stuttering badly. A real stand up guy. Hated it for him) CLONAZEPAM CYPR...

Ditto. Also if I’m standing, I shift my weight back and forth from one foot to the other (which makes me seem really intense sometimes, unfortunately). If I’m sitting I tap my fingers on the table / c...

I constantly tell myself to slow down and relax but my anxiousness literally comes out of no where. You would think after being in the customer service industry for more than 5 years I’d learn how to ...

I will often stutter on closed questions, the answers to which don't give you any linguistic freedom, like being asked my name, or age etc. For open questions with freedom to substitute words 'in an e...

Mild to moderate stutter. I work as a radiographer at a medium sized hospital. I need to communicate a fair amount with patients and colleagues aswell as making phone calls. I chose the job because yo...

For the longest time, and still currently, it was any word that had a “Sk” sound at the beginning. School, scratch, scare, etc. I’m 44 and just this past year, I’ve had issues with words that fall c...

Same here, I stutter with my immediate family and girlfriend, but very mildly or never when it comes to strangers....

My stutter is directly related to how anxious or stressed I am, doesn’t matter who I’m talking to, just depends on the circumstances and my stress level. ...

I'm going through a particularly difficult period this year, but it's routine. Some months I go with 70-80 percent fluency (occasional blocks here and there), and other periods like this one I have li...

yep. The "What did you say?" question always gets me. The reason is almost certainly anxiety. Dealing with that has really helped me....

I had a classic stutter as a kid (repetition of syllables). Now it's speech/word blocks, which ever you want to call it. It flares up when my stress or anxiety does. I'll want to say something but I p...

Mine is constantly varying. Sometimes I stutter only three times in a 9 hour shift, sometimes I can barely choke out words and do my best not to talk. The past week or two I’ve had little to no speech...

Depends on the situation. I stutter more when I'm talking with my family. Especially, when I'm talking with my parents. When I am tired/fatigued I tend to stutter more. Days when I come home from a ha...

I struggled with stuttering a lot when I was younger, but it's gotten a lot more manageable for me. My dad actually had the same issue as well, but it went away for him as he got older too. Instead of...
