From my personal experience dwelling for too long on negative experiences creates more anxiety which in turn creates more stuttering which creates more negative experiences... That's a vicious cycle w...

That's great! I think we all make a big deal out of social situations, and when we later face them, they turn out not to be as bad as we thought....

My favorite is when people do this after I stammer (to be fair it's not always meant maliciously, but it still sucks) but they will also tell me that I don't have a stutter if I mention it. Yes I do....

Just a little win for today

Just a little win for today So last Friday I went to a job interview (nothing too prestigious, just a fast food restaurant where I would work during weekends and nights), it was my first interview so ...

Ikr. I cant eat in uni unless i have a friend around. They recently shifted the cafe to the new building. Much fancier. But here u gotta order at one place, take a slip and then go to the other counte...

That's really tough dude, but I'm proud you went over and actually tried to talk to her. I don't think I could've done that when I was in HS, so props to you. Does she know you stutter? It's an embar...

maybe try talking to her again next time you see her. maybe it won't be as bad because you already know that the worst you can do is just not talk to her. if you just building that courage, maybe youl...

To be fair, there's a slight logical pitfall involved there. It's not one that's frequently analyzed, so I'll try to explain what I mean, briefly. - If you didn't stutter - well, what would the worl...

Possibly my most embarrassing moment yet.

Possibly my most embarrassing moment yet. So I’m in high school and I went to a big important football game with my friend. I saw this girl who’s in the grade below me and she’s really cute. So she st...

Just like the comment below said, I think it's the anxiety which will slightly reduce. It's definitely not placebo like few people say, but it's the anxiety. I still can't fluently say the words I pre...

True off my chest

True off my chest I was talking to my therapist about something my deepest fears and then wham, I couldn’t breathe, I felt like I was gonna faint. I broke out in a cold sweat and the room started swi...

I sometimes think of all the confidence I would have without my stutter, and how different my life would be....

Im literally the reverse of some people and that makes me think that the blocks are more psychological than physical...

I do it as well. I didn’t like in the beginning because I was really frustrated I couldn’t say my name even though I really wanted to but it just spares me a lot of anxiety. I‘ll just say my name is A...

Thank you! My stutter is moderate especially when I’m stressed/tired/anxious, etc. I like the idea of the officiant breaking it up a bit. I guess I need to get over the fear that people will know I st...

I have a severe stutter and got married a few years back. I was terrified of reciting my vows too. And I stuttered. I blocked on several words. But my husband just made silly faces at me while I said ...

>As soon as I speak to another person or someone is listening, i begin to stutter. This. Exactly this. I speak fluently alone but when I realize someone is around I just get nervous. I think we ar...

That's really interesting.I always wondered if social anxiety is a bigger issue for me than stuttering. The reason being I can speak fluently alone but when someone is around I just get nervous..Plea...

I always think that I should not give a crap like you said. But when the moment comes l am not able to. I’m 28, maybe I’ll get better with time....

Sorry for the delay, notifications is turned off for Reddit on my phone. Hopefully this yields some clarity: I don't believe that stuttering is a physical disability, sure something physical creates t...
