I tend to have blocks around my mother and some people. I'm not that comfortable around her. When I'm around my sister I barely stutter when I'm with her. When I meet new people it's a roll of the dic...

Definitely my dad (and people new to me since I have social anxiety). He is the one who gave me the stutter and he used to focus so much on it when I was a kid, telling me to say it calmly and whatnot...

Does anyone have speech blocks/stutters more around certain people?

Does anyone have speech blocks/stutters more around certain people? I want to know if it’s not just me. Some people, I can talk to with great fluency, but others, I can barely get out what I want to s...

Not any more. It used to really bother me but I realised they're not always laughing at me per se, they're laughing because they're uncomfortable and don't know how to react. Once I realised this, t...

Do You Get Angry When People React To Your Stutter?

Do You Get Angry When People React To Your Stutter? I've been stuttering for my whole life. It wasn't as bad when I was a kid (probably because I was more social as a kid and talked more). But as an a...

We feel like stutter should not hold us back... But when we are in that situation where we need to speak in front of few people, we just feel like keeping quiet.....Even I felt like stutter should not...

sounds like a lack of confidence type thing, maybe you just need to practice being more open with stuttering ! (it’s a lot easier said than done tho)...

constant stressing about stuttering during schooldays i am always stressing about my stutter in school nowadays. It's like i stress about whether i will be made to speak in front of others in the next...

Hey, it does sound like a confidence thing to me. Have you ever tried speaking in English with a non-native speaker? Especially one who may not be as fluent? It may be a starting point for you to prac...

My stutter is tied to anxiety so if I substitute words and avoid saying words that I stutter on. Those words get harder and harder to say and my anxiety about them increases more and more so It's not ...

Good eye contact is key! If you look away during a block and feel weird, so will your listener...

Something I try to do is portray as much confidence as I can. It's hard since I have very low self confidence. In my mind, I save my confidence for bigger moments. For me this helps because I speak mo...

Some people do outgrow it, some reach a fluency level that is acceptable for themselves and therefore don't let stuttering stop them from life. It is different for everyone. For me, my everyday talkin...

Okay, thank you. I'm just super scared because she is the only girl I have had an intense crush on....

Hey man do you stutter? I am having the same problem as the man above, but I lack the confidence to do so. I keep thinking, "I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna sit next to her and talk." But guess what, I'm t...
