No one cares about it as much as we do, and no one is as aware of it as we are. Most people are so self absorbed that they barely even notice...

I feel like you’re already passed the scary part. You’ve been seeing him and spending time with him. The fact that your stutter isn’t prevalent around him probably just means you’re pretty comfortable...

I found that adults (atleast in a professional setting) don’t mind it much. But I can see sometimes they look away awkwardly(whenever my eyes are not forced shut due to stuttering lol)...

Very well said man. What we must realise is that most pople don't care, we create our own problems most of the time. And if someone makes fun of it, then filter. Them. Out. There's plenty of openminde...

My stutter is significant enough at times that I had told her in advance. She was expecting it and was not at all surprised about it. However there were times I could not get my thought across because...

What I really got from her response is.. We literally make up in our own minds the worst case scenario 24/7 and we believe that to be true. I remember when my stutter used to be severe, I would as...

Sorry to hear that. To some extent I understand that preparing can make you seem more confident and do better because that’s been the case for me as well. However a professor grading you on oral prese...

Probably bc those tend to come together, with depression comes stress/anxiety and if severe enough possibly shocodal thoughts. And if you have a lot of anxiety panick attacks can come too...

Same with the social anxiety! I’ve been trying to tackle that alone, and it has kinda helped! I recommend you search the channel “therapy in a nutshell” on YouTube specifically a video called “rewirin...

It's going OK. I've made some progress but there's still a lot to improve upon. I have pretty bad social anxiety because of it. I've stuttered ever since I could talk. I know it comes on at different ...

Ok, I’ll explain. I’m not claiming to be a psychiatrist or psychologist, but this simply makes sense. Let’s say when you were a kid, every time you spoke up in class other kids would laugh at you and ...

Sort of. You are assuming that I wrote out everything that is entailed in stuttering itself; there is simply too much about it to write in a brief comment like I did above. All I’m saying is that fear...

Thanks for the elaboration. It's clear now where I think the flaw is located. So, to start with - I'm not afraid. I know a lot of people are, though, and that's very important to remember (we certain...

Fear holds you back from saying what you want to say, when you want to say it, without hesitation. I don’t know if your stutter is mild or whatever it may be, but your goal shouldn’t be fluency. I’d b...

So, let's say I get rid of my fear, and I don't think about stuttering. And yet, I still stutter. What's your take on this? "Problem solved", even though the problem evidently is still there? It se...

Fluent speakers stammer or even stutter on words especially when giving long explanations and even when speaking, the only difference is that you capitalize on it. A fluent speaker wouldn’t think twic...
