I have the occasional blocks when I speak to my family members. On some days, it got worse. When I opened up to my mom and my fiancée about my stuttering and surprisingly, they said they didn’t realis...

Hard to say. A "contagion" is observable in various social contexts, so it's not unlikely that a stutter could behave similarly in certain instances. I don't recall noticing any research on this, but ...

Who's advising you about these experiments? I've never heard about "speaking with your mouth wide". - Anyways, being anxious might be a big factor for some, but not for others. Understanding stutter...

"Setting off" a stutter?

"Setting off" a stutter? My friend and I both have a stutter that we can control pretty well most of the time. However when I get too excited or energetic / passionate about something I tend to start ...

I’ve only developed a stutter the past few years due to MS. I also have a cluttering disorder, which is another speech disorder. I also think that I block more than I stutter. My stutter is mostly ...

Yeah, stutter can vary a lot. It's one of those things that are hard to get used to. You may be able to identify causes for variation, but it can be hard to track that sort of thing....

Because it is kind of a downward spiral really. I stutter too and used to do this too, but it won't “heal” or “resolve” anything. You are just going around the problem. You are going to get scared of ...

Certainly. Stutter is likely to vary a lot. The only "trick" there is to it is to remember that there's variance, and in principle always expect a stutter. Otherwise, I think we get too shocked when ...

I think it's the lack of control. It's too random sometimes. Human beings need control, it's the most important thing. And also, more error we made and more we feel not able to speak. Let's try to fin...

Do you stutter more when it is very cold outside?

Do you stutter more when it is very cold outside? I've noticed that in winter I tend to stutter more when I am outside and the temperature is low. Is it just me? If not, do non-stutterers talk with di...

Need some advice

Need some advice I’m a current high school junior, and I’ve been stuttering for as long as I can remember. I’ve been in speech therapy for just as long, and I’ve realized that my stutter is completely...

Stutter phases over the years, not what you think

Stutter phases over the years, not what you think [deleted]...

Yup, right here with you. Around 30, I started going by an abbreviation of my middle name(which I don’t even like) It was viewed as weird by people I already knew but it sure beats the wave of mind e...

From what I have understood of stuttering, its a habit, and a vicious circle of each block or stuttering feeding that habit. If only we could get more moments of fluency so our brains can break from t...

Use a buffer word, that helps me. For example, "Hi, my name is Pedro". "Hello, my name is Pedro " or my favorite "Howdy, my name is Pedro ". If all else fails, just disclose your stutter and end ...

Some of the comments in this thread are phrased in a manner that's misleading. There's no guarantee that a person with a stutter will pass on the stuttering to their offspring. What we should be say...

Don't worry, it's not due to any fault on your part. It's not that you "need to remember to forget, otherwise the stutter comes back". Stutter has huge variance - we see it all the time. Variance is ...

I dont stutter when I 'forget' that i stutter.

I dont stutter when I 'forget' that i stutter. Like sometimes I would wake up and my mind would be occupied with thoughts of the long day awaiting me in college or whatever, and I would be speaking fl...

Hey man I go through the exact same thing. I'll notice a week or two of my stutter being way worse then usual. I can usually bring it back to my normal level over about a week by just taking ten minut...

what makes stuttering really really annoying to me is not knowing what's causing it ( ik it's a neurological disorder but that's not what i'm talking about ). We have good and bad days, i still can't...
