Maybe you started to speak fast *because* talking was stressful and your brain decided “let’s do this quickly to get it over with. Let’s start quickly bc the anticipation is scary.” It’s also basical...

Stuttering is the main physical manifestation of fear of being judged while talking. I’m truly not trying to be a jerk, but it’s like asking “why do we mostly only flinch when something suddenly appe...

That sort of makes sense but then I fear it even worse when I do stutter. The brain truly is stupid...

Stuttering ultimately is the symptom of “fear of being judged”....

That's a good question. If you create a new post, I'll join in. Regarding my thread, you and me change our mentality during our lifetime which causes our stutter to change: we stutter more or less whe...

I see. I haven’t tried to impose such conditions on my speech, so I’m excited to see your results long term. How long have you been trying this approach? IMO it might also have something to do with ...

I too struggle to fit in conversations sometimes because of my stutter. Especially in larger groups of people. If it's a 3-4 people conversation I tend to be able to speak better. It's good to surroun...

Remove the thought that people will automatically judge you or ridicule you when they hear you stutter. Most people are polite and understanding and don't give a damn if you stutter or not. Add the t...

I don’t think his reply leans either way, to the point where I’d say he hasn’t properly thought about or attempted this (potentially) I agree with what you’re saying that mental state has an effect ...

It could but I'm also really nervous and excited about it. I'm nervous because I'll be a 999 call handler, which is emergency services AND I have a stutter....

It may be that with age your expectations to fit in with others increased. This made you evaluate yourself more in comparison to others....

That's where we're different. I've had my Stutter since I was born. I know when I try to rush myself or get nervous, anxious etc it does make it substantially worse but whenever I ask anyone anything ...

I've wondered this too. I was always told/thought it was anxiety but what doesn't make sense about that is I still stutter when I'm with my husband who literally makes me calm....

I still don't get it. I didn't use to be anxious, especially not this bad. I wonder where it all went wrong and for what reason....

Social anxiety. I'm the same, the more I work on anxiety reduction while not avoiding things I don't like. The better my speech is...

I don't know. I know for a fact it isn't to do with being anxious for me. I could be insanely nervous or scared alone and not stutter, yet I can be comfortable in front of friends and family and still...

Why do I stutter when talking to or in front of people but never when I'm alone ?

Is this considered stuttering?

Is this considered stuttering? This has happened to me all my life, but only recently i've been thinking it might be actual stuttering. Sometimes, maybe once or twice a day and usually when trying to ...

I think it’s because our state of mind is completely relaxed. 0 anxiety,stress and expectations. If we’re able to achieve just a fraction of this calmness in social situations we could limit our stutt...

I don’t think they’re lying we just experience things differently. I met some awkward people with social anxiety so I can tell it’s real. Somehow those people make me feel more comfortable for some re...
