Yeah and my stutter is mainly if not only blockages. On particuarly long blocks I can also have some minor face contorts. I fully understand people in this thread not telling beforehand in case their ...

Oh, dh=dear husband. I think the one thing I wished he would have told me was the blockage part. I can see and hear a stutter. Not shocking to see that but blockage i was not prepared for at all when ...

Yeah it sounds like we have the same kind of stutter. Mostly if not only blocks, they can force facial expressions and it is significantly worse when nervous. I feel like not telling the person would ...

I’m 23 and dating! I do not put on my dating apps I have a stutter, but I do mention it to ppl before we go out together. I have a block-stutter that does get worse when I’m nervous and it involves in...

I see. Yeah I definitely rarely forget my stutter, but I do see that if you're it's not a big part of your life and it's less visible that it's not worth it to mention before meeting. For me though, e...

Most of us take great pains to mask it so many people would be confused/concerned if someone stops talking mid sentence and has an unexpected body/facial movement....

I have found it hard to even talk about it with my own parents. They are very supportive and I feel super comfortable with my parents but I have always been embarrassed of my stutter so I never opened...

My stutter is so obvious I pretty much have to mention it if I'm going to be trying to say anything extensive to anyone who isn't just a passing stranger. Otherwise between the blocks and weird faces ...

Actually, yup I have it sometimes! Had it in baseball while throwing. And sometimes while I spray-paint, my finger locks up when I’m about to press down the cap. I also have thought it is almost one ...

I didn’t know either, but ever since I was young when I would play with tech decks (finger skateboards) I couldn’t get my fingers/hands to move specific ways to do tricks. I just felt like if I couldn...

That’s exactly why I’m trying to figure out if maybe stuttering and yips are related! It’s like talking, a lot of us who stutter talk better when we are alone than when we talk to others. It’s exactly...

When I stutter sometimes I force myself so much that my chest starts to hurt. Because I’m putting so much pressure on myself just to get words out. Maybe your tinnitus could be something similar?? Do ...

My thought process is maybe that same anxiety that causes stutter also affects different aspects not just speech. Like the yips for example. I kept reading online that it’s believed that yips happen b...

I don't have yips, I don't think but I do sometimes flinch or have a little spasm when I stutter, not all the time but it's also a new thing I've recently noticed. It's annoying. And I have tinnitus...

Do stutters all have yips?

Do stutters all have yips? Does anyone else who stutters have a hard time with Yips? So I feel like I have always had an issue with them but I never knew it had a name until I read about it online. Do...

Secondary behaviors can definitely look like tics. There’s a lot of stutter-caused/related behaviors that don’t initially appear to be connected. I’d look up secondary behaviors. FWIW, I instantly r...

I have nervous ticks, but they are caused by my severe social anxiety/phobia, not my stuttering. All though my stuttering usually makes my social anxiety worse which then makes my nervous ticks more v...

I also do not stutter when I talk to myself. I also never stutter when I talk to animals or babies/todlers. Another time that I do not stutter is when I whisper....

I have Tourettic OCD and OCD, and what you are describing is not consistent with Tourettic OCD. It actually sounds a lot more consistent with actual OCD. Tourettic OCD does not cause tics or behavior...
