Thanks appreciate it, definitely going to give this a go I think! I think this will help me tackle the nervousness element and to practice speaking. Cheers...

>I still refused to speak and I can’t tell what’s stopping me exactly I think you've indicated the reasons why yourself: >1. I can’t stand the sound of my own voice or the thought that others ...

Just in the sound of your voice, everybody dislikes the sound of their own voice, stutterer or not. Your negative thoughts are completely normal and I can guarantee you that people listening to you a...

Advancing in Career and College but need to face public speaking...eventually

Advancing in Career and College but need to face public speaking...eventually Hi guys, So I \[20M\] have been a moderate stutter since at least 12 (earliest memory of it). I have had some very embar...

Stuttering in the word “Do”

Stuttering in the word “Do” I always stutter on the word “do” and it’s really annoying. Whenever I’m trying to socialize with people I want to ask them a question like “do you [blank]” but I can’t get...

What is troubling is when the stuttering community downplays this fascinating truism. Some write this off as "lucky fluency" or that it "doesn't count." I could 'pretend call' someone with 100% flu...

That is what I’m literally about to go to school to find out. Why the fuck I can be a preacher to myself but then I see a human and my speech says fuck you...

I know you don’t want to give medical advise but I’m just curious to see what medication you choose to prescribe to your patients for SAD and GAD. I find Paxil too sedating and I’m on lexapro but I do...

That's what stuttering is, it happens with every stutter, it's all about psychological differences social differences make and how it affects speech...

I had something similar happen to me after I broke up a couple months ago. I had an interview 3 days later and it was probably the worst thing I'd ever gone through. For me at least, the break up af...

Yeah, you're right. I guess that in the moment, it feels like every speech block you experience is being judged or whatever by them even though from an outsider's perspective, it might be much less se...

I stutter around 15% of the time

I stutter around 15% of the time How can I bring this down to 5% because I look dumb in social situations. My father stutters around 30% of the time, I think I inherited from him or this could just be...

I totally get what you mean. That's the root of a lot of anxiety problems. Social anxiety is caused because of the fear of being judged....and people think their self worth is at stake because they ba...

Well of course we have more responsibilities. But it wasn't just that which changed. It was my attitude which also changed (becoming a perfectionist). Here's another example that has nothing to do wi...

Uncomfortable Interview Reflections

Uncomfortable Interview Reflections Hey everyone! Hope quarantine is treating you well. I've scrolled through this reddit page in the past whenever I'm feeling low, but this is the first time I've act...

>I think becoming serious about life has made me put tremendous pressure on myself and that's the reason why my speech impediment has become bad. Let's remind ourselves here of that famous adage o...

How Big Of A Role Does Perception Play In Your Stutter?

How Big Of A Role Does Perception Play In Your Stutter? Looking to hear other people's experiences and stories about this. How much of a role does your own perception of life itself play a role in y...

I've recently started seeing a speech therapist here in Sweden as my stutter have become a lot worse lately. I went there not sure it would do anything for me, but when I really listened to what she t...

I totally agree with you that the fear of stuttering greatly contributes to a stutter itself. Being confident (and a fearlessness in what people will think if I stutter) can help reduce stuttering, i...

A breakthrough...

A breakthrough... Whilst practicing various techniques today, I find one that helps more than any other I’ve tried during my 20 years on this planet. Change the pitch of your voice to be lower (just ...
