I'll be talking great until that time and the minute they ask me for my name, I go mute lol. Sometimes I do surprise myself when I say my name without any struggle but mostly it's the anticipation anx...

Stuttering getting worse

Stuttering getting worse So; I’ve had a stutter for as long as I can remember. I went to speech therapy for a bit as a kid but it never worked out. High school from what I can remember was fine, but n...

OP I feel you. I used to say I was a different name at the park because I couldn’t get my own name out. I used to throw up before the first little league practice when we had to say our names. I used ...

It’s because you have no excuse to not know your name. All the techniques that work to get around blocks on other words are no longer acceptable. Can’t change your name and people immediately have a ...

I think there’s a few reasons for this. Stuttering I think is largely an identity conflict. We are not sure who to be and what our responsibility is based off who we are. Our name is like a container...

It's always a stressful time when asked for my name. Even worse if I haven't stuttered in the conversation up until then. I feel like replying with, "Take a seat, we might be waiting a while" 😂...

I too feel the same way. Of all the issues I have with speech blocks, saying my name is the biggest and the most stressful one. School is where it all started. When it was time to introduce ourselves ...

It absolutely did. Talking to the opposite sex was a big deal, not to mention people I went to school with made the assumption that my stutter was a reflection of my mental state and intelligence. Now...

There is a label of psychogenic stuttering, but it is quite rare and not well researched. I don't know how much evidence there is for it at all. Anxiety isn't the cause of stuttering. If it were, we'd...

Hello friend. Generally their is an underlying cause for stuttering to manifest. Some questions: how old are you? Gender? Have you started taking any medications? Any recent trauma (mental or physical...

If I’m correct (someone please correct me if I’m not) I believe people have been known to develop speech impediments cause of things like really bad anxiety or other things of that nature. I was born ...

I recently started developing a stutter. Is this normal

I recently started developing a stutter. Is this normal Hi, I recently developed a stutter though I have never had any problems with my speech in the past. I've shown anxiety symptoms including racing...

Amazing! I’m on a full dopamine detox now to try to make things better. I have had a setback in my progress today, but generally I feel much calmer and I’m much less anxious....

It is true that if you socialize more, you can come to control your stutter to a certain extent. It's not easy. Because we already have extreme social anxiety out of the fear that we would be ridicule...

I think it's a good idea to build up to that, like your goal. I find it easier to talk to people in a voice call over in person. I notice that I'm not stuttering as much getting used to talking was a ...

I think the opposite. Start to stutter > Less patience > more bad reactions > negative feed back cycle > fear in future situations > increased stutter Edit: it goes along the lines ...

Appreciate it, that’s good advice. I’m going to try to work that into my morning routine. One thing I’m trying to do with the anxiety stuff is to approach it with curiosity and acceptance (like obje...

Does somebody else think...?

Does somebody else think...? Does somebody else think that, the more people have patience with us (which is good), the more we feel with the right to stutter, which can lead on the long term into a la...

>We just don’t know any other path of speaking I agree with you that we don't know know any other path of speaking, we certainly don't **focus** on maintaining the forward flow of speech. The prob...

>The fear of stuttering is in most cases the actual problem. I agree with you. I resonate with your **viewpoint** so much! I think another **viewpoint** is, that I often experience fluency where I...
