The same situation as me 💯 this is more of a psychological issue (generalised anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder) rather than stuttering. Some medication (described by psychiatrists) help a ...

two wrong assumptions he make have bad consequences. wrong assumption #1: stutterers are not finishing sentences because of fear. this toxic assumption leads to people thinking it's ok to talk over ...

Yea I definitely agree on the fact that when you just not think about anything and not even about yourself, you just don't stutter at all ( that's why growing up whenever I had to give my roll call in...

It's more complicated than this video lets on. Stuttering is a physical problem as well as a psychological problem as well as 'confidence' issue. It's a complicated intermixing of several layers of i...

I think that will be your best first step. Learn fluency shaping techniques to build up your confidence speaking in public/social settings. Uni requires lots of presentations, so the sooner you get ...

Working in a social setting I totally get it! I quickly learn who accepts me as I am and who doesn’t, but it does sting to see people and coworkers so easily able to speak. I’m 35, I know I stutter, I...

I have issues ordering food, like many other people do. When I was on campus and visiting particular spots often enough, people would learn what I wanted and understood that the words wouldn't always ...

Thanks for sharing your story. We all know what you’re going through. We have been through it too. If your anxiety is so high in social settings, I think you could benefit from anti anxiety meds and...

I call this *mind reading* and it’s actually debilitating to us stutterers. When we mind read we induce fear, which increases anxiety and adrenaline. All of which exacerbates our stutter. You’re in t...

That’s awesome! Well done! 👍🏼 See, if we are too much in our head, it really debilitates us! Fear is a mind killer!!! I think two things helped you here. Firstly, reading makes us stutter a lo...

I totally understand! I have a marketing presentation in front of the directors and I don’t feel the best about. But I’m reminded about why they’ve hired me anyway which is because I am capable. Y...

Almost in same situation, can’t do much but just hope people don’t think too negative about us. I know it’s real disappointing and questions our self worth too. But keep up your head, you have secured...

Confused if Grad school would help me

Confused if Grad school would help me Honestly I'm quite confused about going to grad school due to my stuttering. Within me that would been a great joy and I believe I can excel in research field but...

Maybe because around strangers you subconsciously try harder at implementing fluency shaping strategies more than around family, where your guard is down? Is there any unresolved tension between your...

Our stutter causes us anxiety, so yes, they are definitely linked, but anxiety doesn’t cause stuttering in itself. Anxiety releases cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine, causing that fight or flight resp...

Interesting. Maybe there is a link between anxiety and overall stuttering. Like when talking to family, friends, and close coworkers I stutter a lot less (but still stutter). When talking with my boss...

Thanks for the context. I too found speech therapy helping DURING sessions, but as soon as I went out into the real world, over time my speech crumbled all over again. There’s so much more social an...
