There are lots of reasons why someone could be afraid of public speaking - fear of looking stupid, fear of being judged for what you say or how you look, fear of forgetting your talk, fear of saying t...

People have different reasons for being nervous about speaking in front of a crowd. Stutter is one of them, I'd say. And how we handle being nervous varies. So, I understand that people can fear the s...

I don't stutter. Public speaking is scary as hell all the same. I typically worry that I'll fail to put my ideas across coherently; that I'll forget my presentation; that I'll sound stupid or childish...

I like the roboto line. Blocking comes from holding back and trying not to stutter. Trying to avoid anxiety is like trying to avoid stress, it's futile. ...

This is probably the most helpful and valuable post in this thread. You need to overcome the fear of saying your name. It is the negative perception w.r.t. your name that feeds your stutter. The reas...

The reason why almost all stutterers have trouble saying their name is because there is no alternative for it. Some try to come up with nicknames or take on an entirely different persona, but the init...

This is good advice. I have always been a fast talker. I also had my own speech issues as a child. I do think we tend to stress each other out if one of us is irritated or excited. I am very good at...

The best advice i could give, apart from keeping her in speech therapy would be to speak a little bit slower with her. When i speak to someone who seems stressed out or is talking fast i always subcon...

I usually get that treatment too, everybody else is type A personality. I guess I stutter a lot more if I'm being questioned, or if something is equally stressful. Sometimes I will just block really b...

I have a stammer and dyslexia. Only advice I can give is tell her to take a deep breath, ease very gently into a word, speak slowly, and take a breath every several words....

I started stuttering around first grade. It started very gradually and developed into full blown blocks, repetitions, etc by the time I hit age 10 or 11, at which point I started going to speech thera...

I'm working on getting this confirmed, but I got hit on the head super hard as a child--bicycle vs motor vehicle accident. When people are tired, as a rule, they tend to struggle a lot more with cogni...

I know i just thought it was interesting. I actually thought alot about my stuttering when i was rolling, so it had nothing to do with that. I guess my stutter is just mostly caused by anxiety and neg...
