 When I'm anxious, my stutter gets worse and I feel like I hold so much of that anxious tension in my upper body, including my throat and voice. You sound like a guy who knows his body well. Id focus ...

I am so tired. How can i fix it?

I am so tired. How can i fix it? I am so tired of stuttering. I am a 17-year-old male, and I stutter a good amount. I have tried to fix it many times; while it is possible, it feels very hard to do. F...

It sounds like you're both trying and putting a lot of pressure on yourself. If you were 5'8 and not smart enough to earn a Comp Sci degree would your situation be less tragic or painful? I know you'r...

100%. As a stutterer with ADHD, even more amazed by those that can speak freely. From the guy who can order a slice, while on his cell talking to pretty much every podcaster I admire - thinking on t...

Some people have been mercilessly mocked/teased, bullied, abused, laughed at when they were younger. This can scar a person psychologically and causes them to withdraw in society. It also causes sever...

They do and they don’t. In the short term, they do, in the sense that the stutter affects the conversation and people can react emotionally to that, which can end up hurting you . But in the greater s...

Thank you for your very thoughtful and thorough response. He really likes his new speech therapist and is such an easy going kid. He has been seeing her for the last few months and seems to genuinely ...

Go see a psychiatrist who can prescribe something for social anxiety so you can have a better quality of life....

I've stuttered all my life. Since I started talking, I started stuttering lol. I really relate to doing mental gymnastics or just trying my luck and hoping I don't stutter a lot, and thinking how luck...

I hear a lot of pain and self awareness in what you wrote, and honestly none of it sounds strange or broken to me. It sounds human. Many people without a stutter live in that same loop of replaying ti...

I just want to be normal

I just want to be normal I'm sensitive and awkward to really a bad point I care too much about people's opinion in me I know the problem but I just can't get rid of it I always try to act normal which...

i am a female stutterer too. a mild one. i started stuttering at the age of 8, it happened out of nowhere (i think). since stepping into my 20s, i'm beginning to see stuttering as more of a disability...

Don’t ever do that. Don’t stop yourself from speaking because you’re afraid of how others might look at you. If you do that, you’ll end up in my situation, where you won’t be able to say a single word...

Do not isolate yourself, worst thing you can do. Try to practice your speaking and be social. Anxiety makes it worse...

Yeah i agree with you. Confidence decreases anxiety, but doesn't really effect the parts of stuttering that can't be controlled like blocks. What i'm trying to say is that, it's about the game itsel...

I'm starting to stutter and I'm scared

I'm starting to stutter and I'm scared I dont know if this is the right subreddit for this but I would just like to get this off my chest. I'm 20 years old, female, and I've noticed for the past year...

Feeling the same! Mentally, it hit me the hardest late last year. I use to not think about it that much but for some reason I think about it every other minute everyday now…...

Yes. There's two types of people, those who care and those who are too polite to be honest. I guess it would be like listening to a skipping CD player. Very annoying. People don't like having their ti...

Any advice for phone interviews?

Any advice for phone interviews? I have a few coming up and my last one was so bad, I stutter 10x more over the phone/zoom....
