I totally feel you. I used to be able to engage in conversations years ago with no issues and now it feels like an impossible task because I'm all up in my head. I have ADD and I'm prescribed an amphe...

I am asocial

I am asocial And I feel bad about it. The only conversation I bother having is non-vocal i.e. texting. I don't go to parties, and when I do I dread every second of it. In casual conversation I cann...

Wow, you really went for the throat. I usually just inform them that I have a speech problem, they apologize, and then I say it's fine. I kind of have mixed feelings about what you did because if you ...

I am not blaming society for we being stutterers. I am blaming it for making it a problem or impediment. My goal with this post was to expose that the fact of repeating syllables or having blocks shou...

Try to accept it as a little flaw of yours that youll get over soon, hang out with people who don't care about your stutter and don't be too hard on yourself. ...

Yeah the last part. If I do not think about it it's fine. How do I not think about it?...

Yeah, if I just do not focus on my stuttering, it's kinda fixed. It's just hard to not think about it...

For me a lot of it is mental. If you can somehow forget you stutter on the letter k, or not expect to stutter, that has helped me...

Yep or "I thought you'd forgotten what degree you were doing! HAHA" or "Were you trying to remember how old you are? HAHA". I can tell people are usually well-meaning trying to break the ice with a jo...

Tensing up while speaking! And Just enjoying life

Tensing up while speaking! And Just enjoying life 18(Y/O) M Basically , Everytime I talk , I just tend to tense up my abdomen and shut my vocal cords (like I stop breathing), regardless of whether I s...

It's difficult for me to say as well. Just the other day, a co-worker said "Merry Christmas" to me and I instinctively said "Thanks!" Then she paused and said, "Well...you know, IF you celebrate Chr...

Why do you think you're nervous around family? Do you fear stuttering to them?...

For some reason, I’m nervous the most around family, and when I’m around strangers I feel very comfortable to the point where I sometimes want to start a conversation with a random person just so that...

Our stutter tends to vary with the social roles we perform. Perhaps you're less invested personally when talking to strangers?...

Probably because there’s more pressure on you, whereas if you said something out of the blue no one would have been glaring at you....

Only stuttering in social situations

Only stuttering in social situations I’m sure I can speak for everyone when I say I stutter when another human is involved. If I’m talking to myself or to a baby or pet, I don’t stutter. I recently lo...
