Do you have any tips for job interviews? I mostly stutter + block when having social anxiety, especially in job interviews....

I feel the same way, social anxiety definitely increases my stutter. Yesterday, I was hanging out with a group of friends that I was socially comfortable with, and I didn’t stutter. When I’m around ne...

I tend to have the same experience. After sex (excuse the example, just something I have recently been thinking), I tend to actually not stutter at all. When I have had a few drinks I speak much more ...

I remember few years ago after my grandma's birthday my mom told me I spoke very well. I stared at her and said: that's because of wine. It was weird, but I was around 25 that time. Last year I st...

That’s a good question. I’m actually not sure how I developed social anxiety to be honest. I just find that when I am socially comfortable, I usually (albeit not always completely) speak fluently. O...

To play the devils advocate on that trail of thoughts; you say that you have social anxiety and that is why you stutter. How did you then initially develop social anxiety? It’s a simple conundrum th...

I'm sorry if I give that impression because that is not the intention at all! I have talked with multiple stutterers over time and no matter how kind I am and how much I want to attract them, no one s...

I have social anxiety, and I believe this is the reason I stutter and have speech blocks. I find that when I am able to control my social anxiety and feel confident in social situations, I usually spe...

Maybe it has to do with your arrogant, pious, egotistical attitude. Some of us would be satisfied just to improve our confidence with a stutter, others might want treatment to curb the severity. It de...

Do you have social anxiety?

Do you have social anxiety? I am a very socially anxious person, to the point where if I were to shake the hand of another person, mine would usually be covered in sweat, as gross as that is to say. ...

Fluency is a goal every stutterer would like to achieve, but in some cases, you first have to accept the fact that you stutter and become comfortable with your stuttering. In most cases I believe stut...

Why should you introduce it? People will typically expect you to stutter more or maybe reject you. Even you might end up stuttering more....

I also developed stuttering problem during my teens. Particularly, at 16 when moved to a new high school where unfortunately I wasn't very happy. I wasn't bullied or something like that, but because I...

Perhaps we do it to avoid potential taunting. I figure if people understand that piece of me, they might have a bit of empathy rather than judgement....

I’m on the other end to this completely. I work full time at a bowling alley. I interact with people daily that I would never speak to on the street. I work front desk, so I’m talking with them and he...

IKR!! I am able to say my name when I'm alone or at times I can just say it without any trouble and then there are times like these that stress me out so much. I can talk fine although some words tend...

Tell me about it!!! The word is like, right there but i am simply unable to get it out. Now a days I am putting myself forcibly in such situations. I now call people instead of texting them. I gives...

My understanding based on years of stuttering is that most of us have pretty mild stutter problem but the permanent anxiety that we have developed since childhood exponentialy makes it worse, so when ...

Good for you for being open and upfront. It can be hard to get used to. I don’t think anyone likes admitting they aren’t “perfect” (whatever that even means). I find just letting people know takes the...

I find it helpful to do sometimes. For instance, if I'm doing a presentation to people that I don't know, I say "Just as a fair warning, I am speech disabled, so I appreciate your patience." Otherwise...
