Talking actually requires very little air, Why are you saying speech requires a very controlled exhale? The *root* thing blocking the exhale is a fear-based valsalva. I’m aware it can be difficult ...

I can only imagine that haircuts are the worst. Even after making an appointment, you're stuck there in a chair with no option but to make small talk. I don't stutter but have social anxiety that some...

I hate getting haircuts. The phone call that I have to do to set a date. The awkward small talk when doing it. Getting a haircut shouldn't feel this stressful. I started buzzing my hair to avoid it...

I think my stutter has changed over the years. Started off as repetitions, than changed into hard blocks during teens to early twenties, and now in my late twenties it exists more as elongations and s...

I know that feeling all too well, particularly when I'm stressed. Have you found any coping mechanisms that work for you? I also recognize that feeling of your head being completely 'full' of the stu...

Thank you so much for your reply! It’s a relief to hear that this is a shared experience. The 'synonym gap' and the need to rearrange entire sentences can be so exhausting. Your tip about using speci...

I disagree. While the techniques alone are not useful in most practical situations, I think that the more important aspect is the confrontation with anxieties associated with stuttering. In my therapy...

It helps to mention that you have a speech impediment when it matters. Most people behave a lot more understanding once you mention it. And don’t worry about the rest. I think the most important lesso...

female stutterer here. my stutter is moderate/severe depending on the circumstance (mainly when im excited which is most of the time). i socialise great, very much an extrovert. i wasnt ever teased ab...

Can you describe your stutter to me? Is it like you can speak normally alone, no stutter no nothing and you are comfortable with your closed ones but your stuttering starts when you speak with strange...

I'm a female stutterer. I'd say moderate, sometimes severe. I was very lucky in high school, dated the most popular guy, and was captain of the cheerleading squad (I didn't stutter talking in unison o...

Got better between 18-22. In college you have a lot more open minded people that don’t point it out or make you feel bad about it. Still have really bad days, but the confidence I built in my early ...

Me! I'm pretty confident in my stutter but I'm still a shy person lol. But I don't think my stutter has affected me (just me being self conscious but I overcame it). I still have made friends and I st...

Hey, it's me! Unfortunately, my stutter makes me VERY quiet and I always avoid having to talk to anyone. This ended up greatly affecting my social relationships; I practically have no friends, and eve...

A female stutterer here! I’m a mild stutterer but I have a an unexplained phase sometime when I stutter worse for some reason, lol. I socialize pretty okay but I’m tend to be quiet and somewhat a litt...

nuh, i’m a stutterer also, so i feel the pain. there’s types of stuttering, there is the physical one the rare one, the one you born with it, ot when you get damaged in your brain in a specific place...

from stutter to stutter, listen to me;

from stutter to stutter, listen to me; if you do not stutter with yourself or with family or friends or when you sing or speaking out loud, or when you speak with strangers in video call inside your h...

Covert stutterer

Covert stutterer For all my life I’ve done my absolute best to hide my stutter, and when I was younger I could mask it successfully, atleast the majority of the time. I’m 20 now and these past couple ...

> I don’t want to sound preachy or provoke anyone. But I used to stutter a lot in my younger teenage years; talking on the phone and going to the store were very uncomfortable, especially speaking a...

I’ve always found that ‘weirded out’ look to be more of a shock factor. Most people have never met someone who stutters. Hell, most movies that portray it just have a slight stammer. They don’t includ...
