Blocking more with a specific person (authority) Hello guys,I have noticed a positive tendency in my speech the last weeks or so,but speaking/reading in front of a specific person is a challenge.Any s...

I think you maybe your Dad's presence makes you feel slightly nervous? Or maybe you feel that he judges you? This may cause your brain to go into more aniexty than with other people. I have the same t...

You are not alone! I get days feeling the exact same. People think I’m rude or being aloof when I don’t feel like talking much, they don’t know the struggle we have tho. The thing that frustrates me t...

Hard Times create strong men. I pray to god to not bless with me an easy life but to have the strength to endure a hard one. Stuttering can make us strong if we let it and we change our perception of ...

For non-stutterers reading this: Yes, we know we’re being quiet. Yes, we know we can chime in any time. We know it’s OK if we stutter. We know that it can make you feel awkward. It’s also 100% possi...

I agree with you. My family insist I don’t have a stammer that it is just anxiety, it annoys me so much because I know it’s not caused by anxiety and that anxiety is a secondary condition to stammerin...

It must be something with the anxiety. That’s what makes me stutter more...

I mean if you say you can speak to yourself outloud without stuttering, I'd think it has to do more with the psychological barriers. How bad is you stutter when you talk to your best friends?...

How old are you? I was just like you up until I turned 21. I moved out my parents house and started to be a little more independent. It's like a fresh start rewired my brain and made me stress less ab...

Same here mate. I can sit in my room and read for 20mins non stop and not stutter once. Sometimes I think is it anxiety that causes us to stutter but then again there is times when I’m not anxious at ...

I've literally been thinking about this nonstop for the past year. Almost every stutterer is like this. It really shows that we don't have some brain damage or something. It's just that in a social si...

As a teenage stutterer, I don’t think going on a a zoom call where someone focuses on your speech would be very popular considering how most people are covert stutters and are extremely self conscious...

I’m 18 as well and can relate A LOT to your post. My stutter got especially bad in the first months of quarantine, but have gotten better over time as I’ve gotten into routines in recent months. I t...

Haven’t gotten completely rid of my stutter as I trip over some words from time to time, but feel as if I’ve gotten over it. I’m 29 now and think I’ve been getting more and more over it through my 20s...

Probably hindered, but I still try to use it if it helps me avoid making a call. I am so anxious around phone calls, it’s crazy. I haven’t even been able to call petsmart to get a grooming appointme...
