I really do not understand stuttering sometimes because sometimes I am super fluent and sometimes I am really bad, I cannot find the reason why thoughts? I had to answer phones at work, I once did it ...

For me , reading aloud barely helps cuz i cant stutter when alone . I cant even replicate it , so i know whats happening when it actually occur so....

Yeah, I am a lifelong stutterer. 40 years old. Have done everything except for any mechanical devices that go in the ear. I just refuse those. I can keep it to a minimum if I sleep right, train right,...

Question one: Not necessarily, no. It might. Depends on too many things to say. Question two: Possibly. See above. I'm not sure we have to understand any of it in a _permanent_ way, though....

Stuttering is our weakpoint. When we feel tired, stressed etc our weakpoint gets affected first and gets worse. In other people it can lead to headaches or stomach issues....

That's stutter variance for ya. You may be able to identify factors (like, sleep quality, general mood, type of situation, that sort of thing), but generally, it varies - without any advance warning, ...

It's a known stutter variance, certainly. But it most likely stems from not being used to talking in the way you're performing. Were you to get used to it, stutter would likely reappear. It's a bit fi...

Why?

Why? Why does my stutter have a mind of its own, some days I’m fully capable of talking without restrictions or interruptions and some days I struggle just to say hello. Is there any scientific reason...

i’ve stuttered my entire life and still do so i’m not sure how you can somehow acquire a stutter overnight. you’re probably just thinking you have some speech disfluency when you really don’t. ...

Most stutterers can sing fluently. It's super common. In our discord survey, it was like 87% having extreme fluency when they sing. There's no major insight to be gained from it except that rhythm is ...

I'm social with people I'm comfortable around. People I'm not comfortable around I barely talk to. I rarely start conversations. If someone engages me in conversation I'm happy to oblige, but I'd rath...

Hey! I’m a speech therapist and might be able to provide some insight! Everyone has moments of dysfluency, so it could be a transient thing. If your dysfluency continues and is accompanied by a feeli...

Hey OP, do you have a friend or family member who stutters? I'm not sure how common this is, but a few of my friends have picked up a bit on my stutter, but much less severe. Could be the same thing i...

Gotcha. You should ask your parents if they're ever known you too stutter or repeat yourself when you were learning to talk or young in general. Thing is - most people have dysfluencies but most peop...

> I noticed though that I don’t stutter if I don’t talk that much. Makes sense. If you don’t talk that much, or if you only speak in short sentences for example, there’s less opportunity for a stu...

Thanks! I notice either during or right after. It lasts from one stutter to like 10 stutters. It’s really weird and people have been making fun of me over it. I noticed though that I don’t stutter if...

I am an introvert. When I am out and about, I am pretty social. I think it’s important to be kind to people so I usually chit chat with cashiers so if they are having a bad day, I am not making it w...

I’ve been doing some of the stuff that I’ve done in the past. It just seems like when it’s come back, it’s longer each time. I’d like to hope that it doesn’t stick around forever. If it does it’s alri...

If speech therapy was effective back then, it might be effective again now. Might wanna give it a shot? Otherwise, there's not much else to do than remind yourself that the stutter can surface. The l...

You're definitely not alone. My stutter was mild from when I was young until about age 28. I'm 31 now and it slowly started getting worse due to adulthood stress I'm guessing. Now it's always on my mi...
