For me, it is better to try and relax, and if that doesn't work (usually in cases of extreme nervousness) I will just replace the word with a similar word or phrase, even if it doesn't make as much se...

Hmm I haven't been going through a tough time. But I notice it more when I start talking a lot. Almost like I get nervous and have anxiety and the. I hear myself stutter or stammer and it makes it wor...

I've heard of other people with a mild-moderate stutter that became severe as they got older. Met one too, a 28 year old dentist that had the worst stutter I've ever seen. Interestingly, he became the...

The causation doesn't necessarily go that way. Stuttering and anxiety are symbiotic; both can exacerbate the other....

I'm 60-40 for that belief as well. When I'm depressed and angry as I am right now I stutter waaaay more. I'll often times when I'm caught off guard talk without stutterering at all. But at the same ...

Is it really anxiety based though? I want to believe that too, but people on here keep saying it'll never be cured....

No. Quite the opposite. In fact, under enough pressure, it becomes a total block. Effectively a form of selective mutism. Now, looking over the current handful of responses, I do have to say the answ...

Yes and no. If I'm under pressure and somehow dominating the situation, then less stuttering. But if I'm under pressure and have to submit to the situation, then more stuttering....

When I'm angry or under a kind of hurry up stressful situations, I'm purely stutter free. ...

That's dismissing all the scientific science out there. Anxiety aggravates stuttering, but isn't it's root cause....

I mean, I agree and disagree: I do think that anxiety plays a huge role in it, but the root cause is dually a subconscious tightening of certain muscles in the neck and improper breathing when speakin...

I can't agree as I'm not an anxious person. I only get anxiety when stuttering and that happens even if I'm having a chill day and I'm comfortable around a person. It just happens....

This is something I only started thinking about recently, but does anyone else get headaches or have jaw problems because of severe stuttering? Like if I get really blocked, it's a struggle, and somet...

Personally I can relate to the link between only stuttering when infront of people, especially unknown people. Seems to draw the conclusion that being more expressive in intonations would help. What a...

When I get angry i find that I'm pretty fluent. But walking through life always mad just to be fluent isn't a good long term strategy lol...

I was assuming this too. Naw, we've been together for a couple years now and were friends before that. No confidence issues here. It's really because we like to go to loud events like concerts. ...

same here, let's say i have a very mild stutter that i am fighting and this creates a severe stutter with alot of mental stress...

I understand that point of view, and as a person who had a severe stutter for a good majority of my life (I'm 29 now & had a severe stutter well into my teens & early 20's), I can't help but f...

Yes. I think it's because we get less anxious when we are drunk. We don't really care about the consequences of our actions. Which sucks because I hate drinking. ...

Are you sure that you weren't used to stutter during early age? For me, I might picked stutter when I was 3 or 4. I had mild stutter till 7-8. After that my stutter vanished (not completely, almost ni...
