I was very overweight as a child and mocked for that as well, and my confidence levels were on the floor. In my case, I've noticed that general insecurity was what most likely led to speech insecuri...

Interesting question - would you rather stutter to the level you did, or have OCD to the level you have / had?...

Well I stuttered since I was a child.. at 35 it's mostly gone. It mostly stopped when I was 17 (and it probably sounds crazy) but after a potent hit of LSD it diminished by about 70%. I did not do LSD...

I have no scientific evidence either way, but I have an understanding of OCD (know someone very well who has OCD on a scale that varies to not much of a problem most of the time, to unable to function...

I would say as a generalization- yes it is. I mean it disables us from clear and fluent communication and impedes us from speaking altogether at times. Whether it is a psychological or physical disabi...

I'll complete a fluent sentence without prior thought, stop after and say to myself.... "Well that was easy. Why can't I do that all the time?" When I don't think about it....I don't stutter...which i...

I'm actually in college right now. I've considered registering with DSS (Disability Support Services, as it's called at my school), but haven't for a few reasons. First and foremost, I don't think th...

I'm a 30 year old female. My stuttering ranges from forming a complete fluent sentence to total blocks on the next. It's random for me day to day. I've often thought I would be a happier person if I d...

I am a 21 year old male who has stuttered for as long as I can remember. My stutter is generally moderate, but swings occasionally to both ends of the spectrum. I've had a lot of time to think about m...

Wow, I feel almost the exact same. I've always wondered if my impediment could be overcome or if I have to work with it, which basically means stuttering all of the time and being okay with that. Just...

Psychology of stuttering

Psychology of stuttering I want to use this as a place where we, as people who stutter, can share thoughts about our relationship to our own stuttering. I'm 24, male, and I'm a moderate/severe stutter...

Let me express my sympathy for how you are feeling right now: I have been there, and I know it really, really sucks. I have always stuttered, and still do today. In HS, I was in the same position as y...

I can kind of understand how you feel. While I don't stutter, I have social anxiety which I believe shares an overlap with some emotional difficulties that PWS experience. (Not saying everybody with e...

But do you stutter all the time? You don't stutter on every word. Are those sounds or words you are fluent on disingenuous? Being a person who stutters doesn't mean you are a stutterer and all you do ...

*That was a typo. But this explanation still holds I think.* --- I shouldn't and that's the rub. I am just a person who happens to have a disconnect with the majority of people and the way they spea...

Interesting. Do you usually present yourself as "a stutterer", and/or avoid doing stuff because "I stutter"? How do you imagine other stutterers go about their stuttering?...

I can acknowledge that I probably communicate a sense of frustration at times when I'm struggling to get my words out. So yes, when family or whomever else will avoid starting a conversation, although...

I've read this as well as some of John Harrison's work(https://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/Infostuttering/Harrison/john.htm this speech transcript i highly recommend). They made an impact on me in that...

Thats the thing i thought about that too, i was like why couldn't i have a name i could pronounce easier but thats bullshit. People who speak normally don't have troubles pronouncing certain words, th...

I know.. I'm thinking about changing my name to something easier to say once I move states for just this reason. If it is all mental though, how did it present itself in the first place? The whole thi...
