I can sometimes fake it around people I'm attracted to by carefully choosing my words and trying really hard to impress them. Also I stutter much less around people I'm physically and emotionally comf...

Stutters are a fickle beast. I stutter around my mom everytime I see her, but not around certain friends who I feel extremely comfortable with. I've had one SO in my life who neutralized my impediment...

Is this going to be live or recorded or is the reporter just going to take notes? I don't think there's too much advice I can give other than enjoy the experience. Remember that they're the ones who a...

I think it is because you get out of the habit of speaking smoothly. This happens to me a lot too...

Wish I had some sort of answer to what's happening. Dealing with the same thing. Sometimes It happens in daily conversation aswell though so not quite the same, but definitely more when I think too lo...

Yes. I force myself to read stuff aloud every day just to keep myself from getting rusty. Even if I'm just reading to my cat. It only takes one day of not talking for me to fall behind....

It does. I have a habit of not wanting to leave the computer on the weekends and going to work the next week sometimes is kinda rough. ...

Stutter gets worse when I don't have to talk for an extended period of time

Stutter gets worse when I don't have to talk for an extended period of time Just a little background first. I'm a medical student so there are times where I am literally locked in studying with close...

She knows but it really irritates me when I make small unnecessary repetitions. Cause I’m kind of a perfectionist that way. I don’t mind answering my teacher when she asks me aloud even though I stutt...

I'm curious... do you stutter in English AND in your own language? I have definitely felt like you. I actually have contented myself with quite a solitary life for a long time. However, now I'm tra...

I think we all can relate to this strange fact. One time we can say something fine, and a second later we block on the same word. Strange as it is! ...

You aren't alone. Those factors you mention must be important to your stutter or you wouldn't mention them. But as for myself I can often say the exact same word I was trying to say out of context cl...

I feel everyone's level of fluency and stutter varies. I am sorry to hear you are feeling this way because I have been there before. Each day is different for myself. Some days will be better while ot...

Yeah, I pretty much have a weak balance between isolation and a social life, but I think it's a normal reaction to avoid an uncomfortable situation. How is your fluency around people you talk to regul...

Mainly blocks or some repeats. Severity comes and goes day to day; as well as being somewhat dependent on stress levels. ...

Interestingly I know someone whose elderly father has (had) a lifelong stutter. He recently had a stroke and now his stutter is gone. It works both ways!...

I'm jaded about my stuttering and achieving fluency. I feel there is no rhyme or reason for fluency. I've stuttered for my whole life except for 3 months in the summer of 2010. (I'm now in my mid-30s....

Nope. That's just how stuttering works*: It's different in different situations. (*: Or, we could say, it's _how we don't work_. I mean, we work, but not quite like what we'd prefer.)...

Just practice but with that I stuttered a lot during presentations. All professors I had to present for understood I was going to take longer and would stutter, so I always kept my presentations short...

Yeah, I mean, I'm not looking for a hand out, but my stutter is on the severe end of the spectrum. I didn't go to college or university because I was just plain afraid, job interviews are a nightmare,...
