There's a lot of great advice in this post. I'm nearing 30 and the only other thing I can add is that once you're out of high school, no one cares about stuttering. I block and stumble in front of my ...

I did a presentation in front of our DVPs. I was so nervous and felt so awkward that I was a stuttering hot mess. I got through it though, and my next presentations went much smoother. The uptick t...

I had to give a big presentation in front of my school a while back. At first I thought it would be just a dozen people or so but then the entire school ended up coming. I stuttered really badly and t...

The same thing happened to me at a movie theater recently. My parents blame my hair, cause it's pretty long, but I know it was cause of how the interview went . It feels like I'm in some kind of "hard...

Advice for my daughter

Advice for my daughter Hi! My 8 year old daughter developed a stutter earlier this year. Her main issue seems to be blocking and her stutter has been defined as moderate. It just kind of came out of ...

Once I was asking a girl out for coffee and ran into a big stutter. I finally got it out and she smiled and said yes of course. Then I smiled and it was all fine. Stuttering often gets in the way of h...

Depends on my severity. When I'm 70-80% fluent I don't mind talking. When my level of fluency is very low then I absolutely hate talking....

Im in sort of the same situation, but i dont think women care as much as you make it to be in this post. Ive been working out a lot in the past 6 months and this really makes a difference, i think mo...

i had an interview for mcdonalds yesterday, somehow didn't stutter once, still got rejected. ...

There are hundreds of theories but nobody has figured out what exactly makes a stutter happen. People say anxiety and fear of speaking is the cause but people who have fluent speech also feels the sam...

Oh yeah, same here. I tend to feel a bit 'drunk' when I'm super sleep-deprived, and when I hit that weird euphoric state where I'm intoxicated-adjacent, everything loosens up, including my diaphragm a...

Same as you. I guess everything that causes less awareness (low control over your head and body) will help us speak better. Of course it will not be helpful in long term cause you're not sleepy or dr...

I'm the same as you OP! Also when I'm mad I'm pretty fluent. The same holds true for Spanish which I am not fluent (different fluent hahaha) in at all but trying. If I'm mad or exhausted my Spanish i...

total opposite for me. less sleep results in more stuttering. even a halfhour powernap clears up my head and does wonders...

Stuttering less when tired/under sleeping

Stuttering less when tired/under sleeping I don't get it. I noticed this affect at uni when I regularly pulled 36-hour all nighters - at the end of it I would turn into a lucid eloquent mofo (relativ...

I'm usually the opposite. sounds like when you're caught off guard you forget to be a stutterer....

In a setting such as that, I do hope the teachers are aware of the individual circumstances of their stuttering students. I'm guessing unfortunately that isn't always the case, since stutter still isn...

I date a good amount. Had a one night stand last saturday. Im a pretty heavy stutterer in this sub, stutter about once ever sentence. But ive never cared much for it. I think the main problem with stu...

Comes with a few big downsides. You can't use it when there is a lot of background noise and often it only works for a short period only. Then your brain gets used to the delay and won't be distracted...

Absolutely yes. When speaking one on one I stutter a ton more than with a large group of friends or even a crowd....
