i understand you, I'm considered a standard person, handsome, I know how to dress, anyway, I take great care of my self-esteem and I'm vain, but what does all that matter to me if sometimes I can bare...

This is the way. If a stranger or acquaintance brought up my stutter, I would never speak again in their presence....

I didn't answer my phone for about 4 years. My solution was to force myself to use the phone. I called shops to ask when they would close. I would ask when my energy deal ended. I would say i had a st...

Yes, but because I didn't stutter he might have blown me off. He did prescribe a very common antidepressant that made things worse. My stutter is situational. I stutter badly when trying to explain an...

By making eye contact, you are telling yourself, and following through, that your voice deserves to take up space. Very very difficult got many tho...

Thinking about making a youtube channel but I don't know if I can.

Thinking about making a youtube channel but I don't know if I can. I've posted here before, took it down because I'm shy and I forgot the login for this account for months😭 (apologies for anyone I di...

I totally agree with you in the case of avoiding eye contact. I also believe thats easier, emotionally saying, to not make eye contact with your listener, as you don't have this instant feedback that ...

It’s probably just due to shame. You assume your listener will have a horrified expression (or mocking) when they hear you speak. So, by looking away, you are “confirming” you are correct. But by ...

how are you managing? i stuttered a lot but in my native languages (english specially) is not an issue anymore. i guess it’s a confidence thing. i failed to learn french because of this but now im ...

Great post! Avoiding eye contact by looking down/away is one of those gross motor movements that reinforces the fear response in the moment. For many, after practicing alone and with safe people, s...

I honestly don’t know why, but I whenever I think I’m about to block, I keep my chest up and make myself seem confident, cus really with this is you fake it till you make it. Also, I also occasionally...

Agree with the comments above. My own experience: I had a terrible experience presenting at a law firm many years ago. Almost total block. Now, twenty years later, I’m absolutely confident in those si...

48F and blocking! Mostly hidden but more and more apparent if I speak with more people (I hate work calls)....

Hey I’m 28F and I stutter. I have sound repetitions and prolongation. Currently working at a daycare and it’s tough with kids and talking to parents but I just gotta keep going...

When you stop stuttering it is very gradual as thoughts of it slowly diminish, mine seem to happen in the background. It wasn’t a big event like I had always imagined. However I had a lifetime of stut...

You may be interested to know that OP seems to be describing a classic covert stutter, which is a more advanced (worse) form bc it means you are having something that’s almost a mini-panic attack at t...

That solidly confirms that you have a standard covert stutter. Try this link...

I stutter when alone when I practice or when I put a difficult letter in my mind and think about it...

This is painful because you become a stutterer and a non-stutterer at the same time, and some people are surprised if you stutter in front of them because I used to talk to them normally and I didn't ...

Sounds like a pretty classic covert stutter. Regarding why you stutter when alone - is it happening when you are imagining talking to someone, or practicing saying something you usually block on?...
