I agree completely, my 2 cents is to: 1. always expect anticipatory anxiety and learn to stay calm while feeling this anxiety 2. don't ignore or avoid the anxiety because if you don't feel it anymore,...

Stuttering is social anxiety. Social anxiety is not stuttering. I didn’t clarify because this distinction should be patently obvious. There is no one here who thinks that everyone with SA has a di...

Stuttering is a funny thing. The more you try to avoid it, the more it comes. The more you want to impress someone, the more it comes. The more you want to prove yourself, the more it comes. The mor...

Desensitizing myself to the fear of being judged has been the single most important thing I've done overcome stuttering

You must be around alot of girls and your looks must be on point for them to approach you...even then in my experience most girls won't approach even if they like a guy. But yeah if a girl likes you a...

Mainly being more fluently consists of getting used to your own skin...So mainly getting used to social interactions and speech therapy and gaining confidence by maybe doing a hobby but for any PWS so...

u got me a little bit wrong, if i want to pick up a girl i doing that without a problem, and i have so much confidence that im not the one approaching to them they approch to me. But the small things...

It's the opposite for me. Especially with weightlifting - it makes me really tense, anxious, nervous and it just makes speaking much harder (more blocks etc). It feels like any more demanding physical...

Dysfluency being a symptom of social anxiety which affects some socially anxious people - that I agree with, and understanding that will help you deal with the anxiety along with dysfluency. But stu...

Yes everything you just said I've experienced 100%...I try to take care of my looks so the girls that really liked me didn't care too much. But yeah it's very hard watching all your friends picking up...

You're contradicting yourself when first you say stuttering is social anxiety, then you acknowledge that most people with social anxiety don't stutter. I completely agree with everything else you say...

You 100% right, and I've gone through the same good & bad cycles through out my life. Iĺl be almost 100% fluent for a few months then fall back into a hole and be like 5% fluent with max anxiety f...

I think that viewing it as a thing that needs to be cured is what is stopping us improving. We keep fighting it. For me the fear of blocking or stuttering is far worse than when it actually happens. B...

My whole life. And yes I've been to a few pathologists when I was younger. I've done the practice and it didn't help much. I'll admit I've stopped over the past few years, but I think it doesn't work ...

Yes, most ppl w social anxiety do not stutter, but that proves nothing. PWS block bc of fear of remembering previous distressing talking situations. You block when ordering coffee bc of years of *no...

Yes I have depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts cause of my stuttering...

They are not the same thing. Most people who have social anxiety don't stutter. For those of us who do stutter, anxiety certainly feeds stuttering but there are other factors at play....

Blocks are worst , the awkward stare you get plus that sudden surge of anxiety because of that that just freezes you , i awkwardly nod my head and just move on...

The hard blocks absolutely come from remembering previous speaking traumas. There’s no way PWS are all just randomly afraid of giving your name for appointments. The reason your name is the worst...

Your diaphragm is directly impacted by anxiety. I’m fact, it’s called a valsalva maneuver, and it’s a common response to stress/panic. As someone who despised drivethrough for years, I was not remot...
