As I get older, my stuttering has turned into stress/excitement induced stuttering. I went through years of speech therapy, so for the most part I have my stuttering under control (I work as a custome...

I focus on my mental state and try to psych myself out. My anxiety will get to a point where I reach a point of "fuck it" and just go for it. Getting over that hump will make me much more fluent whe...

Graduated from Army AIT (job training) this past october, and I happened to be the distinguished honor graduate in my class. I had to do a presentation/speech in front of a colonel, sergeants major,a ...

Great post. I always had a problem with presentations when I knew what I would gonna say. Because then I would know all the "difficult" words and that got me worried, and I blocked more. But as the pr...

This subreddit is such a depressing place!

This subreddit is such a depressing place! I don't come here often because this place scares me. Seriously. It's filled with posts about how people are feeling shit about themselves because of their s...

Being enthusiastic about a topic really helps me present. Maybe I should try to be enthusiastic about everything in life so I'll never stutter again!...

Whatever it is you're presenting, try to be genuinely enthusiastic about it. When I'm energized about what I'm speaking on, I end up paying less attention to my speech, so even when I do stutter, I do...

When I was a kid I always stuttered the most around family, especially during the holidays. A few people are saying it's because we're comfortable with our parents/family but I've never really gotten ...

I don't stutter around my mother at all but it's the opposite with my father...

Yea, in some ways the people I am more comfortable around I revert back to a worse stutter. Has to be something psychological about this....

Yup idk what it is. For me I don't really stutter around friends at all. But with my family its like sometimes I can barely get a word out. I think its because we are so comfortable with them we're no...

Yeah, my family just knows what it is, and don't give me shit like that over it. I assume you've explained that its neurological and can't really be helped?...

I just want to state that not everyone has situations where they speak fluently. I don't have a situation where I'm fluent. There's definitely an aspect of stuttering that isn't just in your head an...

My story Found this thread and pretty happy to see a whole community of people that can understand and relate to the things we go through daily. I've had a stutter since I was little. I was always a ...

How I mostly beat my stutter

How I mostly beat my stutter Ok. I've been wanting to post this for a while. Forward: please don't read this like a humblebrag or something - it's not meant to be, and this is a throwaway. I remember ...

I have recently realized that i may have extremely high anxiety, and that my stutter may be a symptom of that. I've been trying to find someone to talk to about this, to see what the options are. ...

it's an aggravator, not a cause. You don't see people with anxiety disorders developing stutters. Plus i had a relatively stress free childhood. You sound like you have a mild stutter that mostly sho...

How much do you feel that your speech problems are connected to anxiety?

How much do you feel that your speech problems are connected to anxiety? I'm sure just about everybody with a speech problem has anxiety about it, but I'm wondering about anxiety as a cause or aggrava...

I wasn't always a stutterer. I just had small bouts of stuttering here and there as a child but nothing too serious. In fact, many people go through a small period of stuttering in their childhood. My...

First of all, it's important to realize that the root cause of stuttering is not psychological in nature. Stuttering has been shown to be a genetically influenced, neurological condition associated wi...
