This is going to confuse the heck out of many ppl here who spend most of their waking hours trying to hide their stutter. But actually, letting listeners hear repetitions is actually the best way to ...

He may always have repetitions/prolongations, but he can learn how to significantly reduce his blocks and calmly order whatever exact pizza he wants....

Since most impactful stutters (blocks, awkward pauses, odd body language etc) are the DIRECT result of trying way too hard to hide repetitions, as soon as you stop trying to hide them, you probsbly be...

I think you mean *efficiently*. In either case, you are correct. It's much better than blocking and nicer in the listener too....

I mean, I don’t know for sure, but if you are the person they talk to most, that’s likely why they stutter more around you, just because they are talking more with you. A block is when someone is tr...

Fluency enhancing sound effective, but without the most important things, it will be a constant struggle. Those are to realize that every speaker has repetitions and you *need* to let ppl hear your r...

"A stumbling" description inclines me to say no and chalk it up to an occasional disfluency. If you physically cannot get the words out or struggle with prolongations and repetition of words, then it...

Tyyy!! I relate to you sooo muchhh. Don’t worry, I understand your explanation. Ikr, saying “thank you” to my teachers when they’re helping me one on one is so hardd. I also feel hurt when I can’t t...

The worst for me is not being able to say "thank you". I can usually manage to spit it out with a different tone of voice for one-off instances like someone holding the door for me, but in more person...

OMG I thought I read at first you used to use the "N" word lol. N is so hard for me. Letters come and go. H is so easy for me but for the past month I have trouble saying "Hey, hows it going?"...

I’m maybe 95% blocks with a dash of prolongations. I, the masochist I am elected to do drama at school where it was dubbed my “dramatic pause.” Seriously though it’s an enigma to me. Im pretty fluent...

The stutter type 2 and 3, how to deal with it?...

Listen, I could have written this myself just last year, in reference to everything you said about confidence. I promise. I even have gotten into fights in this sub w someone who kept insisting to ...

Sometimes or it used to happen when I was younger Id say something right, and the listener would say "sorry i didnt hear ya" then we repeat again and stutter!!! That's the worst!!!! It's like the ti...

The same thing bro. I speak french so I have a lot of strategies to speak fluently but any other languages are a nightmare for me. It's hard to start a sentence, like I know what to say but my throat ...

Blocks are literally, directly CAUSED by trying to hide repetitions/prolongations. All fluent speakers have occasional repetitions. It's true. Listen carefully. The difference is that they are sho...

Already tried talking slowly, but still stutta alot!! I even get told to slow down when Im stuttering alot....I know their trying to help but I dont have the nerve to tell them they are not helping s...

I always thought about that because it always worked lol. I guess I would rather stutter than keep up with that shit. I used to be a singer in a rock band and I stutter so much. When I sung........no...
