Fyi, a lot of non-stuttering people are terrified of phone calls too. We're not alone in this, although no, I don't get worried whenever I have to make phone calls now. Overcoming this fear isn't some...

Have you ever given up talking for a while, after it just got too hard?

Have you ever given up talking for a while, after it just got too hard? Hey all. I'm new here, I'm turning 39 next month, and I've had a stutter since age 3 or 4. In the most prevalent stuttering para...

Thanks for your insight. I do struggle with anxiety and a general lack of self worth. When I'm feeling particularly anxious or not confident in myself, the block becomes worse....

I'd always think that speaking with someone on the phone should be easier because usually the other person can't tell when you're having a block or a tic and you can always blame the signal so there's...

Same here. The thought of ordering on the phone pizza is horrifying to me, I'd much rather walk or drive to pizzeria and even then talking to the lady at the cashier is scary....

My stutter gets worse when I’m nervous or self conscious. Anything you let yourself feel insecure about can affect your stutter....

How fluent are you now? I understand you’re fluent in daily life from your reply. But what about public speech (give presentations in front of 100+ people) or stressful discussion (like interview with...

Thanks for the reply, I'm currently working on improving my confidence. I should stop caring what other people think of my stutter....

I had a bit of social anxiety, but it never manifested itself into anything other than shyness. Then when my 20's hit, that's when the speech block started happening and it hit me like a ton of bricks...

Did you have any anxieties before this? I have severe social anxiety and I think my stutter is very affected by it. The less anxiety, the better my speech is....

Thanks I think I am little better than before but for me the most stressful situation is when I have to give job interview face to face , most of the time I lose control over my fluency, thanks to pan...

That's good you've almost overcome it,.. Yeah stress and anxiety plays a part, I always feel anxious knowing I have to go shops or call someone, well any face to face interaction also.....

(Just my experience disclaimer, personal observations! ) I have for sure always been casually treated like I have more serious/entirely different issues from just anxiety and a stutter. I am inclined ...

That’s a really good way to look at it. I just feel like I need time to get my mind right again. Thank you!...
