I didn't necessarily have a panic attack but with any severe stuttering customer interaction (at work for example) I would cringe at myself afterward. It definitely still takes effort to not overthink...

I also like telling people that I have a stutter, it really does feel like I get a weight off my chest! It makes me feel so much more comfortable about my stutter, and I won't get as nervous when talk...

That helps in the short term, but in the long term it actually affects you, you are just avoiding the problem, if you're in "a safe space" such as with close friends and family you should try to not c...

I can relate to this for sure, I can't even tell if its because they can read body language so well or whether they have unlocked some sacred art of psychology lol...

See, I had this mindset for a loooooong time. Even now, although I feel a huge weight lifted, I’m still like “did I REALLY have to tell them something so obvious?” But when I compare how anxious, inse...

Idk if I’d recommend the way I did it to be honest; I just kind of thrust myself into the center of the room (after saying I had something I wanted to talk about) and explained. I have bad anxiety so ...

Oh no, voice calls are the worst thing I think. It sucks so much. I'd rate it like this: 100% - chat 75% - talking in real 75% - video calls 10% - voice calls...

Yea me too I also stutter always, when I’m alone, when I’m with friends, to my family so basicslly everytime. Anxiety also makes my speech worse it’s so frustrating....

Yes, I do think speech anxiety is a big part of it, and fearing the perceptions and judgements of others. It has snowballed on me over the years (I’m in my late 30s now), and my stuttering has gotten ...

That's very similar to mine bro. It's weird to face the stutter over the phone when you know you can speak flawlessly in person. Any tips on how you try to manage the phone stutter?...

Thanks for sharing! I've experienced the one with heightened emotions. It's not much of a stutter for me, rather broken disorganised speech....

Thanks for your tip. I still can't get my head around them 'being strangers' enough to not care. If the call is from an unknown number, I get a mini panic attack....

I'm unsure about mine as I stutter differently almost always. Talking on phone is difficult for me but sometimes I don't stutter much or reach a stage close to fluency (although I feel afraid inside) ...

I might be making up a reason but, as far as i remember I was being bullied when I was I was around 6 or 7 and I'd say that kinda affected my confidence and started it off...

I am not really sure when I started stuttering but I remember that my grandmother would always talk through me so I had to repeat my words. So I started stuttering a little bit but not noticeable. It ...

I have a very mild stutter but anxiety intensifies it several times higher, so I would say anxiety has the most impact on worsening my stutter over time....

Anxiety does not cause stuttering!!!! It is a secondary condition to stuttering! 1% of the population stutter! Think of how many ppl in the world suffer from anxiety, esp nowadays, hell lot more than ...

How difficult is it to say a goddamn 'Hello'?

How difficult is it to say a goddamn 'Hello'? Seriously. It's annoying at times when I get stuck after receiving a phone call. Other times (most notably with my gf, close friends) it's a breeze to utt...

Anxiety or Stutter?

Anxiety or Stutter? Do you stutter coz of anxiety? Or, are you anxious coz of your stutter?...

How should I tell my coworkers?

How should I tell my coworkers? Lately I’ve been feeling judged over my stutter at work. Could be paranoia but my intuition is rarely wrong (plus a certain thing I overheard per my last post). With th...
