Yea the bad days suck. I had one recently in a long time where no matter which words I chose, I could feel a block. I had no confidence in the words that I spoke....

Instead of stiffening up, I get frown on my face, which could be mistaken as "don't talk to me. i'm angry!" To prevent frown, I voluntarily stutter, as in repeating a syllable. Just in case I cannot...

My stutter has always been the blocking type. I have come to a stage now where I only stutter when I need to introduce myself, or if I am too tired from work, or sleepless. But that blocking when I n...

I stutter and my experience is that the words are lodged in my throat before I even say it, then it will continue in the middle of my words. My strategy is to practice beforehand but these preparation...

I always block when I need to introduce myself - need advice

I always block when I need to introduce myself - need advice I have been stuttering for as long as I can remember. I'm almost 31 now. My stutter has always been the "blocking" type. Over the years, m...

The cold can defo make the throat muscles stiffer. The initial cause of stuttering can still be in the brain (i.e. anxiety) of course, but this neurological cause manifests itself in the throat musc...

Do you ever feel like you are "unable" to do something because of stuttering. Like it's not a matter of being scared of being judged or embarrassed, but simply being practically unable to communicate ...

Addition: when i **whisper**, there is only around 2-5% of the stuttering. The moment I start to vocalize, 2-3 syllable later the block is there (without anxiety!). This tells me, that only the **vo...

A block is basically a mini-panic attack,which leads to all sorts of unpleasant secondary behaviors, so it’s the worst part of stuttering for anyone who blocks! You begin on an exhale to get past ...

i block and look funny or sound funny when i talk sometimes ......

I was just gonna make a post asking about this. when I have to read on the spot from time to time I get a HUGE endorphin dump. I get a little dizzy and the words look a little hazy, all while im suppo...

Your moderate stutter is probably called a covert stutter, you probably have blocks, and it is probably associated with a panic response. Check out my profile for a long post here with lots of acad...

I'll have the rare disfluency. Typically if I'm extremely tired it might kick in. But I was a severe stutterer. Never a fluent sentence. Prolonged blocks in which I would run out of air before I cou...

The reality is that repetitions are very different to listeners than panic-based hard silent blocks with a full range of unexpected avoidances. Someone wants to say : oh wow! You like folk music to...

This is a great strategy if you are unable to *ever* articulate the B sound. If you can articulate it fine in some situations but nothing comes out when others are around, this is unlikely to work at...

That's my issue. Being slow and relax is easy. But impraticable in real conversations. Even more when speaking in groups. People just won't listen...

Even as a severe stutterer, being slow, relax and fluent is easy. The problem is that it's so slow and awkward that people just won't listen. That's impraticable...

Even as a severe stutterer, being very slow, relax and fluent is easy. The problem is that being so slow that people don't even listen or like it lol...

Fake stuttering helps me with this. I know it sounds weird, and I have no clue why it helps, but it does. So if you were going to say “tomorrow I’m going to a baseball game” and you know you are going...

Stuttering on “hello” is the worst! H-words are some of my worst words in general...
