i can relate to this. all i can say is fake it till you make it. my stutter used to make me way more timid, shy, and anxious. i am still anxious but am able to speak way more confidentially despite my...

I find I do OK in groups if it's people I know or at least feel comfortable with. Now, if it's strangers, that's when it gets hard. Perhaps the added anxiety of them not knowing that I stutter and how...

Interesting. For me I didn’t start stuttering until about 21, and am 25 now. However I think your theory still kinda holds, in that I was afraid of people’s reactions to my stuttering, which I think...

Thanks for the compliment, I want to talk more in groups, but there’s a mental hump I have to get over first. Once I get over that self conscious hump I think i’ll be able to thrive. Also I too focus...

> if I'm asked to repeat myself, particularly by someone who seems stern or rude, I WILL stutter when saying it again. if I am asked to repeat by a rude person, I get an anxious smile and I still ...

You need to be extra special careful about how you design and implement these kinds of tools on social media. They may seem innocuous, but you cannot control the data, and cannot control harm if someo...

I feel the same way. When I’m in a group of people who can speak well I usually am very quiet and kind of shut down. I think you sound really good though and very fluent. I wouldn’t even be able to te...

YES x 100! Even if I don't stutter the first time I say something, if I'm asked to repeat myself, particularly by someone who seems stern or rude, I WILL stutter when saying it again. Whenever I'm ex...

I've experienced this more and more. Has anyone had their heart checked. I have a mitral valve prolapse that causes anxiety, which, in turn, makes my stutter worse. Recently, I've started getting w...

Job interview

Job interview This is my first time on this sub, nice meeting people who I can relate to. I'm going to have a really important job interview in 2 weeks... I already decided ill tell the interviewer i...

why you tf keep on stretching it ???? its not about confidence and comfort zone, (u sound like those people who say stress causes stuttering)...

Yeah. The more you’re aware of your stuttering, the worse it gets. I didn’t know I was stuttering until my mom started pounding me on it, humiliating me, and made the situation 100 times worse. Don’t...

When I'm feeling confident, I say more and stutter more and speak like a slow version of Drew Lynch. When I'm feeling anxious and forget to voluntarily stutter, I get more blocks and speak like a gr...

I'm not exactly sure if that's the case for me. I mean, it can be true, but I can stutter like a motherfucker around friends I'm comfortable with. I think that there are many more factors like general...

Yes I wholeheartedly agree with this comment. It is not that my speech blocks are completely eliminated when I speak, in my mind they do not long as last or their power over me less. And the reverse...

I have been doing various fluency shaping exercises e.g.pausing, speaking slow , light contacts , flexible rate etc Also meditating every day without fail and facing my anxiety every day ! I try to ...

Yes and Yes. Depending on the job, speech can be the determining factor. I'm a software engineer and once I cleared all the selection rounds (both written and interviews) for a job. I had a final mee...

I will not say i have cured it but in the last 2 years i have drastically decreased my stuttering and people around me have also noticed it just the anxiety part is left to deal with which will elimin...

Some people may never have heard stuttering and may be clueless about it. Although I’ve always had an attractive appearance,some women have become frightened when I stopped them for directi...

It does make sense and I agree mostly. We are describing “block” differently. I’m referring to the regular moments of fear where we know exactly what we want to say and instead, it feels like your ...
