Yup, all of school I was anxious when they would call on people to read. I do recall in French class after I read my paragraph the teacher said “thank you for the summary of that paragraph” because if...

Late to the thread but I can’t stress this enough to OP. I stutter and telling my parents my true feelings about how it made me feel didn’t happen until I was 24. It was a combination of shame and p...

"did you forget your name?"

"did you forget your name?" I work in retail and oh boy is it rough. My stutter takes the form of speech blocks and singular repeat stutters (like di- did you need help?) People don't seem to notice ...

Your professor will not deduct points because of your stutter. It sounds like the professor is understanding of it anyway so that is good....

I sent my professor an email.

I sent my professor an email. I moved to the US last month for university. I was extremely nervous because I was traveling alone and I've been having speech blocks since the 7th grade. I decided to go...

An extreme form of the approach avoidance conflict. When you want to speak but you absolutely will not risk stuttering or sounding a way you don't want to ask....

Had to read out loud ..feeling a bit down about it

Had to read out loud ..feeling a bit down about it So yah.. I had to read something out loud.. to around 45 people. It was for some small event. The thing I had to read was maybe 2-3 lines long. I pra...

Also you could just be holding yourself to a higher expectation in English because it is your native language. And in German you feel comfortable because your German acquaintances don’t hold you accou...

Yea, that’s what I mean👍. You have a different feeling and experience speaking German. It’s not necessarily learning languages that I’m not good at. It’s that I inhibit myself from expressing what I...

It’s not hard learning another language humans are made for it lol. It is strange that English is worse, from what I have heard in this comment thread. It’s probably social stuff I guess, I speak G...

Keep yourself more tied up to nice people. Bad/toxic people will aggravate your stuttering.Mean teachers are also a big troublesome for stutterers. If you are facing bad times with unavoidable people ...

It could be you just worrying and thinking they are treating you that way. Even if they are treating you like this, separate yourself from being concerned about their opinion, and your individuality a...

At some point the language I speak in my head will become my least strongest language. That thought scares me a little...

Well you are expressing a concern about acting on dopamine receptors, I deduce that you may have the same opinion on serotonine and noradrenaline receptors.... I do not put words in your mouth. I m ...

So for anxiety and depression we can act on brain receptors but for stuttering we cannot... doesn't make much sense to me... I m sorry man but it s not I won t try a drug which could improve the symp...

Please don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say anything about treatment for anxiety or depression. Your "walk in the woods" comments are out of bounds. ​ > I would try ecopipam off l...

And I should probably clarify... I have a particular bias against ecopipam. I'm concerned by the anxiety and depression that it was reported to cause. Many stutterers already deal with anxiety and de...

The meds could improve the fluency and be combined with speech therapy, I do not see what s the problem..." Stuttering can be devastating to a person's psyche" and you tell this to us? No shit man......

Speech therapists will teach you to have a soft start. Say a "h" sound as softly as you can to start the word. If your name is Simon, say hhSimon. It's its almost undectable for people listening. Cl...

I have social anxiety along with the stutter also have an ugly face which makes flirting impossible....
