Why do I stammer in front of people only?

Why do I stammer in front of people only? Hi guys, I am suffering from stammering. But I only stammer when I was talking to someone either physically or on a call. I don't stammer at all when I am alo...

All those things you mentioned about your stutter are actually very very common! I bet you even avoid eye contact. If you are like most of us here, the issue is probably *only* that anticipatory fea...

i haven’t gone too in depth, but my stutter is weird. i’ll just use substitute words, and i know i’m about to stutter when i lose my memory. when that happens, i tend to talk faster, thinking it’ll pu...

I’m proud of who I am and want people to know my name but I stutter on my name all the time, I think it’s just that introducing oneself is something most of us get kind of anxious about first impressi...

I recently went to a doctor for my anxiety, brought on by stuttering or the thought of having to talk, etc. I can say that the anti anxiety meds really do help. Even if I stutter that gut wrenching fe...

Anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds can help to alleviate distressing emotions for a while but they won't tackle the root causes. That takes a lot of effort, courage, introspection and some form of...

My experience with antianxiety meds is that they generally do numb me out to an extent and take some of the wildness out of life. Fluvoxamine has worked the best for me and I've taken it for a long ti...

I have the same problem.. I stutter hardcore and I have those wild tics too 😂 My friends give me hell about it.. They joke and laugh behind my back and in my face. I laugh too because the tics re...

I’m 19 and a sophomore in college and as it is I’m a pretty social guy and I like to tell people I’m close to that I’d probably be the most talkative person alive if I didn’t have a stutter. The last ...

My situation is similar to this. I work as a customer representative (Call center) and some days things are fine and other days I just want to quit and cry myself to sleep. It's so annoying when the s...

I'm the exact same. Rejection terrifies me, not just career-wise, but romantically and when it comes to meeting people in general. I think it's down to my serious abandonment issues stemming from a ba...

I"m just writing a new message bc my first response was full of confusing edits. I have literally done the agreement-fist when reading lots of your comments because I think you get right to the core ...

The NSA don't suggest fluency shaping. And stuttering is not rooted in anxiety. If it were half the population would stutter. Anxiety is created from the fear of stuttering, not the other way around. ...

I have analyzed your stutter problem in this [PDF file](https://drive.google.com/file/d/16-apteCpvOoxnZYSvKJUfExDj7LrBrOm/view?usp=sharing). Did I get it correctly? Assuming we are going from the dia...

Very very very good speculation, this is something I've been thinking about intently since my stutter has gotten bad. ​ I have a problem with moving my tongue/mouth during a block. As for...

I agree completely also in college and had to take a break due to me stuttering in front of the whole class for my final presentation. Just know you’re not alone and many people deal with these same s...
