Yes, I completely understand what you mean. You’re referring to the overly optimistic avoidance perspective that aims to quench all reasonable internal strife and pain that we feel. I presume like mos...

Building accent as a non-native English speaker?

Building accent as a non-native English speaker? My English used to be almost stutter-free until one day I decided that I wanna sound like a native. And that ruined my speech to the extent I cannot s...

Maybe but does it matter? People are so into themselves and how they think they look that they might notice but unlikely give it a 2nd thought. If anyone does comment on it in a negative way that’s a ...

Hey girl. I’m in the same boat as you. I’m in nursing school and although I feel smart and confident, I always have it in the back of my mind where I say I wonder if they noticed a mild stutter. I did...

There is a mild one, but do not think about it or put your mind over it.. else it will spiral out of hand. Mind plays dirty tricks. The longer it lingers in your mind the worse it will become, bette...

Does anyone actually notice a mild stutter? It's been driving me mad for a while.

Does anyone actually notice a mild stutter? It's been driving me mad for a while. I've actually become aware a while ago that my dysfluency is a bit beyond normal — I can't tell if it's actually notic...

As annoying as this is to hear, just take your time. They HAVE TO listen to you. You got what they want. Idk if its easier for you to disclose you have a stutter before but yeah. Eventually things wil...

Feeling helpless right now!

Feeling helpless right now! This is a rant! My mom is admitted to hospital for an operation and I have to do a lot of talking. Talked a lot today initially during paperworks and other stuffs. Though I...

Our perfectionism is part of our OCD. With everything involved in our issues, I think that therapists are more concerned with dousing the immediate fires. There’s usually enough going on that you’d ha...

i have an “internal stutter” too, but i also stutter when talking to other ppl. for me it’s more that i’ll hear in my head myself saying something while stuttering, at the same time as i’m saying it n...

No, I have a therapist, but I've never really talked about it with anyone because I've tended to minimize its importance to myself since it's so specific and doesn't actually cause communication issue...

I only stutter when talking/reading to myself?

I only stutter when talking/reading to myself? This has been an increasing problem over the past few years. I'm in my mid-thirties, and before maybe 5-6 years ago I never had a stutter in general. I s...

You are amazing! As much as my lifetime of stuttering 78f has ignited my curiosity I’ve only become hyper aware of the cadence, hesitations, blocks in what we regard as normal speech. You’ve explored ...

Hmm looked this up and there's been some research into this: - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1053811911005477 - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39413058/#:~:text=Background%3...

Yes. Growing up, I believed that if I could pronounce everything correctly, then I wouldn't stutter. Grammar isn't all that important to me, but pronunciation is everything. I pay super close attentio...

Are you also analytical with speech?

Are you also analytical with speech? I’m a covert stutterer. Since 2012, I’ve had this natural curiosity about how people speak. This includes word choice, fillers, cadence, and more. Over the years...

I have the same issue. My name starts with K and I can’t tell you how much I DREAD introducing myself, especially in a meeting/large group. Like the comment above, I usually try to say a very long sen...

Yep, I feel myself in everything you said there to, so incredibly frustrating not being able to express your feelings or opinions, or even introduce yourself, glad to know I’m not Alone🙏🏻...

I’ve had a moderate-severe stutter my entire life. I’m in my late 30’s now and about to start my first job as Physician Assistant. I had a similar experience as yours when first going off to coll...

For a moment there, I thought I was the one who wrote this post. That has been my life the past 2yrs. Before I was kinda fluent, I could talk for hours on the phone, order food etc but since 2023, I d...
