Dude, I suffer from the same exact thing! For me I can physically feel it close and I start to panic which makes my stuttering worse and my chest feels significantly tighter and which leads to anxiety...

I think on the one hand we do feel the connection with our nerves and fears and can probably say something a thousand times over in one space or in the shower but pulling up to a restaurant having to ...

It’s definitely neurological and it’s not fun I find it sore I get headaches I feel down it’s hard to be happy and have a stutter. And yet they say keep breathing blah blah blah … nothing works...

Wait! when i was reading, i felt like you were speaking on my behalf. I am facing and feeling exactly what you have mentioned. I got an ATAR of 89 in my year 12 and my brother forced me to go to top u...

this is a clue. You CAN have the same confidence all the time. Alcohol simply removes your inhibition and loosens you up, and you can recreate this effect using other means. Normally our stutter get...

Many times, no anxiousness is involved and stuttering still occurs. So I am willing to take it a step further and say that anxiousness is just a coincidence, and something developed overtime as, what ...

All I know for sure is that whole lot more research needs to be put into stuttering but it just doesn't attract the funding. I'd wage it's a middle ground of physiological and psychological causes. ...

I’m glad you realize we are on the same team My copy of the latest DSM is in my office at work, and I can’t readily find a link to the exact terminology, but I know diagnostic criteria now includes...

This is what I believe : Developmental stuttering, as diagnosed by the DSMIV, is due in part to reduced perfusion in Broca’s area *and fear of negative evaluation, negative social-evaluative cognitio...

It is indeed only a piece to the puzzle. As I said in the comment, there is a lot more involved. But it's certainly a significant factor. When brain activity occurs, blood flow must follow in order to...

My anxiety is the main cause. Sadly I’m yet to learn how to manage my anxiety and my stutter hasn’t decreased or gotten better. When I talk calmly I stutter very less...

It would be good to footnote this as one of many theories, or maybe on piece of the puzzle. I've always been sceptical of physiological reasons as the security of my own stutter has varied through m...

same here! also goes away when i sing, talk in a accent or when i have tons of adrenaline (heated arguments, public speeches etc) super weird! but you’re not alone...

A beautiful explanation. Stuttering is biological and its worsening in anxious state is merely a consequence, not a cause....

The brain has a different section for reading output and speaking output. For self speaking output, anxiety is absent where as for public speaking, anxiety may play a key role...
