I Have Trouble Speaking Words (Not Major Stuttering or anything close to it.I do have occasional stuttering) I just joined this group. Just now a Lady asked me directions to a nearby skin clinic.I'm l...

I get this too! But it’s like I use my lips to push out the words. It usually works but it doesn’t look good lol....

>"What do you mean by primary symptom?" The traditional view of the primary symptom of stuttering is blocks, repetitions and prolongations. (which I don't agree with) Brocklehurst (PhD) views the...

Does anyone experience their lips quivering or feeling like they’re shaking?

Does anyone experience their lips quivering or feeling like they’re shaking? I think it’s part of adrenaline and anxiety but I wonder how I can stop this or reduce it. It makes me nervous and I stutte...

Sry to comment twice but I am tone policed day long by people who give me tone and I finally told them the other day when 3 people were condescending to me about something that could have been a convo...

Everyone at work thinks I'm a rude, pushy liar because they don't know how to read a stutterer. I had to get an ADA form just to have my phone anxiety while still actively answering phones stop impact...

What I’ve found is that when I feel im going to get stuck on a word I tense my abdomen and it basically forces the word out. Obviously not great to do it constantly but definitely helps when you want ...

Lots of bombed interviews (Even when I lay out the preamble as a PWS). Lots of lost opportunities. Lots of experience of seeing the “oh boy” eye roll look on HR and other interviewers faces when they ...

Tell him you think he has a stutter and that's ok with you. Maybe he'll deny it at first. In the mean time, look up secondary behaviors of stutter. Grimacing, rapid blinking, or widening eyes. These ...

I think I get what you’re saying. Is it because sometimes when you stutter you contort your mouth a certain way to help get certain words out? Like you don’t want someone to notice your mouth moving i...

Yes, I deal with this often. Residual ticks and twitching can come as a result of trying to force your way through a block. I did damage to my jaw a few years ago with a bad twitch. I remember back in...

how do I help my motor tics?

how do I help my motor tics? I am a severe stutterer and I am insecure about my also severe tics when I have blocks. I close my eyes very hard and tilt my head all the way down and my arms can also mo...

Just smile a little then try saying to avoid blocks that’s what works for me...

Afraid to open my mouth to talk when someone is making eye contact with me

Afraid to open my mouth to talk when someone is making eye contact with me I will wait till that person looks away before I start my sentence or I will say short phrases. It’s almost like a freeze r...

I’m so frustrated please help

I’m so frustrated please help I work at a fast food place. I take orders (we are required to read them back) I can’t say simple things like “would you like onions with that?” “Would that be for here”....

No advice for u rn but u I just wanna say that I can 100% relate to this. It almost seems like you wrote my story. Most people, even in online stuttering communities, don't understand the different se...

oh.. ok.. i feel you, i have facial contortions too when i stutter, female here😔...

I think its out of pity and will differ from the type of stutter imo. When i cramp my whole face together as a i stutter, some think it hurts. Maybe thats why....

Some people just have a listening face that just looks like they are impatient. And some of us frown a lot when we are trying to get through blocks. If people we're talking to do not accept our expl...

vent(?) i’ve always had a bit of a stutter, it wasn’t exactly bad but i would have moments where i would be talking with my family and i would pause to make myself myself not stutter and they would th...
