Don't have any tips, just wanted to say this is my experience too, but maybe not because of familiarity but preparedness. The more prepared I am the more I'm likely to stutter. Like if I'm the one ac...

Yes, the way other people look at me during these verbal blocks has me under the impression my respect level and my intelligence level is being zapped from me. I often find my self being challenged ...

I had speech therapy all throughout school and it sucked with my stuttering. (Blocking) I went back in 2020 (I’m 22 now) and it was great helped a lot with confidence and that it’s not just a little k...

Sounds like another anti-psychotic. Hopefully I’m mistaken. Inhibiting dopamine really sucks the joy out of life. Not sure that’s better than stuttering. Effective treatment for stuttering would be am...

Recently had a big meeting at work. I stuttered but I was fine and felt surprisingly relaxed. That is until we left the meeting and my coworker was all like “omg you were so nervous!” I just interna...

I had a brief panic attack just reading about your experience. As a teen, I probably would have just straight up quit the team. I’m a woman in my 40’s who’s now a preschool teacher, and taught myse...

Almost all impactful dysfluency is almost entirely about a type of specific social anxiety. My sister had an articulation disorder and couldn’t say her own name ever. Her name was like Shannon, but...

stuttering when alone?

stuttering when alone? Is this just me but when I'm alone talking to myself I don't stammer at all, which makes me think my stammer is mainly to do with anxiety around other people....
