Not sure but maybe psychologically as a child you associated the throat with the sensation of pain. And maybe even the fear of surgery. And this could have psychologically triggered stuttering. Beca...

34 f, stuttering since I was 4. It became more physical around 12 years old. I started "blocking" and would get stuck on a word or sound while grimacing and nodding my head uncontrollably. Some meds make it worse and some make it better. Anyone else have this specific affliction? How do you cope?

DAE have a pet peeve when you don’t feel heard?
DAE have a pet peeve when you don’t feel heard? My stutter has, luckily, improved. Still, when I don't feel “heard,” it pisses me off. Before when I stuttered so badly, it was one thing; I thought ...

When I use to go on dates from tinder I never use to talk much I would just go off my looks, but I wanted to say so much but the fear of stuttering held me back so much. Most relationships didn’t last...
