Your English is better than most on reddit:) My stutter became more difficult to ‘manage’ after my teen years. I’ve convinced myself it is a self confidence issue but that doesn’t make it any easier...

My stuttering Podcast (and I'm getting worse). Feedback pls. I'm considering recasting myself or cancelling the Interview Podcast. Thoughts?

When it comes to things that are necessary in life ie. Job interviews, communicating in my job, etc it doesn't matter how awkward and terrible I feel because I see those as things I have to do. Yes, I...

I know this goes against what is said here but having severe blocks and repetitions during these type of situations is not socially acceptable. I have felt far worse about my about myself failing over...

I completely understand what you're saying, but telling a funny story comes down to timing as well. If you're consistently blocking over and over again people tend to lose interest and your funny stor...

I totally understand you. I love engaging with people, meeting new friends, and I’m actually a pretty good speaker minus the stutter. It’s frustrating to have a desire to speak but not be able to...

That's the thing, stutter as a phenomenon has huge variance. I think that must make it hard to study/research. It also makes it hard to say something universal, or rather, it becomes very important t...

Not as much experience as some of the other folks here, but I TA'd years ago and I have also had to give a number of big research talks in front of large groups. You get a lot better at it just with d...

I've never stuttered while alone, ever. We probably have different type of stutter...

Because stutterers have a speech system with a lower capacity than fluent speakers. When you speak alone there is no demand placed on that system, thus you dont meet your stutter threshold....

>most of us don't stutter while alone, or around certain people / certain circumstances And sometimes we do. Variance like that needs to be accounted for, explanatory-wise....

I have been a professor for the last 14 years and before that I was a TA/RA for three years while completing my PhD. I also stuttered terribly for the first 20 some years of my life. It was very diffi...

I've found it to be less bad but not gone. Usually when I'm drunk I just slur my speech the same way everyone else does....

Alcohol doesn't simply "give confidence". Alcohol _distorts_. We should remember this modification whenever we speak about lessons (purportedly) learned from/during intoxication. Anyway, I've experie...

Same goes for me. When I start to get tipsy i stutter more and I can't control it at all but after a couple more drinks I don't stutter at all....

Me too, though less when trying to combat the effects of a mega-hangover and I have to concentrate hard. There's a lesson or two in there for me....

It's the opposite for me. I stutter even more under the influence of alcohol....

:( I took online classes my first 4 semesters because I just couldn't do it. Too anxious. I knew it would all be a disaster. I eventually felt more comfortable with my stutter and and now take all c...

Yep, me too. But the next two days after drinking my speech deteriorates significantly. But it's so tempting to know that if you have a few drinks you can be fluent. Just know it doesn't last. ...

My speech was good for several months... then for the past 2.5 months or so its been hell. Shit sucks....
