I think there's a big nuance here. Good days and bad days are different than stuttering and being fluent. On good days we are still stutterers but during magical periods of fluency, we are something e...

Yup, it's quite common to experience this sort of variance. Multiple factors are likely involved (as you mention yourself). Maybe you shouldn't measure your performance compared to the periods where ...

That's better than me! My first period of fluency happened when I was 31. It lasted 90 days and then sadly faded. Then, 7 years later, I had another time of fluency but it wasn't as smooth and only la...

Yeah, sure. But science hasn't come up with anything solid in that regard yet. We might also be looking at a diverse phenomenon that can be managed quite differently depending on the person. Like, man...

Mine fluctuates similarly. I just had a couple weeks of pretty good fluency, and today it's a chore to get through a sentence. Even the sounds that give me trouble tend to change, though over a much l...

Good Days and Bad Days

Good Days and Bad Days I am male, 20 years old, and over the past couple of years I have noticed my tendency to stutter has become very polarized. Sometimes I will have a period of say 3 days to a wee...

I stutter the same in all situations. Stress has no impact on it. Often it seems like I stutter the most when I'm most relaxed. It's a curious trait to have in how it varies between everyone....

I can see how some people could feel that way. It's pretty impressive for anyone to achieve high levels of fame despite the fact that they stutter imo. Stuttering makes just about everything harder, ...

Famous People Who Stutter (FPWS)

Famous People Who Stutter (FPWS) I lost the link so my apologies to admins. It drives me absolutely crazy when FPWS are fluent when talking to media. It sends a very negative message to those of us w...

I work in Game Operations for an NBA team. During game days we constantly have to communicate on personal radio headsets which makes me very anxious sometimes. We also have weekly meetings with the wh...

Thanks for a personal recap of it! I only stutter on the occasional word or say uhm when I know i'm gonna stutter and wait it out. I've presented projects in front of classes and not stutter once, bu...

My dad stutters, but it's pretty rare now, maybe once every 100 words or so. He said it was severe in high school though. Mine (28, male) has always hovered around moderate, some days severe and some ...

I feel the same way. My stutter has been passed on from generation to generation going back to my grandfather but my dad and him grew out of it or got it down to where it's super mild. My half siste...

I'm doing a co-op term as an I.T. technician at my college. I have to talk a lot and it gets tiring. But it isn't that bad....

Working in forwarding agency. Have to deal with truck drivers constantly, with customs also. Have to do many phone calls. It's hard, but with time you get used to....

Data analyst. I'm on the phone with clients several times a week. Most the time they just think it's a bad connection and ask me to repeat myself. My speech really had little to no impact on my job. I...

Administration (public). I talk to a lot of people and use the phone too. I stutter **infrequently**, which is always annoying when it happens, but I've gotten okay at dealing with it. It's sometimes ...

I've devoloped a stutter in the past year at age 30...wtf? It isnt all the time. But, its like some days i stutter when i frist start speaking. and then am fine. and other days im completely fine. ...

Don't measure your success by how much or how little you stutter. I think this one probably went much better because you weren't nearly as stressed about it as last time. You already put yourself th...

>sometimes I stutter a little and sometimes it's a lot Yup, stutter tends to vary like that. Depending on what works for you, there are techniques to use (as taught via speech therapy) to help yo...
