I know this was nine years ago but I just wanted to say wow thank you so, so much for this post. I’m F26 and not only can I resonate so much with the harsh words from when I was a kid but also with ...

Here are a few of my ideas. I'm wondering about everyone else's thoughts on this very interesting question. Food for thought: * men could be more active (say: responsive and hypervigilant) * men coul...

Yes! Been with my wife since 9th grade. Insecurities from my stutter sucked, my wife actually finds it cute which I appreciate it, still hard to come across and “cute” and “helpless” at work. But we h...

I’ve ran 10k a day this week and yesterday I had some wild stutters. Colleagues in work were looking at me funny because they’ve never heard it that bad 😂...

YES! Omg, when it’s really bad my eyes start blinking rapidly and my jaw locks too! Thats why I warn people beforehand that I promise I’m not not having a seizure so they aren’t shocked....

It's all part of the same thing. Those uncontrollable facial distortions and unexpected hard blocks are part of the disfluency. Improving fluency reduces those....

Same with me, I dont repeat any word, I just block and my whole body freezes, and you're right when the answer is something simple, like your name or age, is a thousand times more diificult than me gi...

Working on fluency is one thing, how do you work on uncontrollable facial distortions, unexpected hard blocks that will destroy the vibe and kill the entire joke you're trying to tell?...

Please can I ask what the preferred reaction is? I was taught not to interrupt and not provide the word that I thought the person was going to say, so I know not to do that, but I have social anxiety/...

ya, his stammer is making people think he can't form coherent thoughts. Looking at his facial movements and everything points to a bad stammer. And it's hard to explain to anyone who doesn't stutter...

I can here to say the same thing. Seeing him repeat and flutter his eyes so much is making it hard for me emotionally to watch the debate. I can feel that choked-up feeling as he speaks, and I can fee...

To be exact, while working out the grudgling sound I make while lifting weights helps to vibrate my vocals resulting in helping me speaking fluently, so yeah it worked for me but not completely...

I totally understand the feeling it in your throat I'd never heard it put to words but like my jaw locks up on some words at times especially vowels at the beginning of a word and I guess my therapy h...

So for me it's the opposite and it hurts because I don't stutter in my head like I can hear the words in my mind but they don't come out. But what I've found is going deep with my voice and talking sl...

I starting to think I might just need some vocal training like maybe reading out loud for trying to pronounce every letter because when I’m talking quietly I don’t stutter but once I gotta talk a bit ...

There’s a miscommunication when people say to “accept your stutter”. What they mean is “you have hard silent blocks and many uncomfortable and bizarre avoidance behaviors (see below) because your bra...

I have the hardest time with B words or pretty much anything with a hard syllable or consonant sound where you have to press your lips together. M words can be hard as well....

Does anyone else do this?

Does anyone else do this? I’ve had a moderate stutter since childhood and very recently I’ve noticed that I don’t take a breath before, or while I’m speaking even when I get stuck on a word. Like many...

I don't know about keto but when I drink cold stuff I always stutter more you know cause your tongue is too cold/ a bit numb that's why I avoid speaking immediately after drinking cold drinks or somet...

There’s a vast difference between people who speak with repetitions and occasional blocks AND people who are suffer blocks every few words. Besides the obvious (*extremely* challenging to express you...
