I'm Russian, and stutter a looot in my native language. But when I started to learn English, I found out that can pronounse English words without stuttering. It gives me an opportunity to became free ...

I would agree with the negative impacts of switching words for sure. My mind is always racing with random words while talking that it's hard to get an actual reasonable thought out. Respect to your po...

I’ve had decent luck saying something like “Hey my name is ****” since it is easier to start off with the H sound. It works about 85% of the time for me but it can be changed depending on what sounds ...

TLDR but just wait until you stutter in signed languages too 😉I thought I could escape it by using a different modality...nope!...

I also block on my name. I resorted to spelling it out and just telling people hey I have a stutter I'm gonna spell it and usually they're just like okay and its fine...

I stutter about 80-90% of the time when I try and speak foreign languages rather than my normal 20-30% in English. Its so frustrating that I gave up on learning any...

This is one of the most touching stories I have come across in recent times. I myself, I'm a 23 year old stammer with a learning difficulty and a poor communication skill, I must say it has been a dif...

When I am so mad that I'm metaphorically seeing red and giving someone a piece of my mind my stutter disappears. I've stuttered my whole life and its not super bad but pretty noticeable, except for th...

I started speaking Spanish first and I stutter more in it. Maybe 60-70% of the time. In English much less. Maybe 15%. In the little French I know, basicall not at all. Probably because I focus more ...

Speech block when saying my name

Speech block when saying my name TL;DR - I have a situational speech block that pretty much only happens when I have to say my name. My throat and tongue freeze up and I am unable to say my name or sp...

A practical piece of advice that really allowed me to lose the fear of stuttering and enables me to express myself naturally without the constant agony of negative anticipatory thoughts, is as follows...

What helped me last year was being able just to talk to more people and participate as much as I could whenever there was an opportunity. Of course, this was more effective pre-pandemic, but it still ...

Hi, I want to thank both of you for doing this and giving us an explanation for our difference in speech. I've noticed a correlation between an adequate night of sleep, around 8+, and less constant ...

Hey, first of all - thanks for doing this AMA. How do you feel about GABA-B agonists such as Phenibut and their [ability to reduce stuttering in some individuals](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/118...

Hi u/Ok_Music7549 \- Thanks for your post. I'm sorry for the difficulty that you've been experiencing. This has indeed been a tough time for many. (Seth will comment more on that aspect.) One of the ...

My story is quite similar. My stutter peaked in severity around that age too (I’m now 35). There are probably a thousand different opinions on this topic — “the way out.” I can only speak for myself....

On days it’s really bad my mom will continually remind me to slow down because she is convinced my brain is just working faster than my mouth and my mouth gets stuck. I’ve tried to explain I’m not a m...
