Hey, do you tell the new people you stutter? I know if you don't do that it can feel impossible. But for many people it is part of a way out of the hiding and avoidance and dread that you're talking...
When you're talking to others, you're *communicating*, in addition to just speaking.   When you talk to yourself, you already know your message well in advance - it was already in your hea...
I don't stutter at all when talking to myself, makes these exercises that SLTs suggest kinda ineffective. Probs some subconscious performance anxiety/ the need to project your voice/ time pressure t...
Yeah that might help, thanks! How do you deal with the anxiety, if you have any? I know that by the time I'm setting the date for the presentation I can't think of anything else until then. I prefer s...

Yeah, having something that helps me not be so anxious stops the vicious stutter-social anxiety cycle. Best of luck! I feel your pain and hope you can find something that helps. Oh, and one other th...
Sorry, but I'm not looking for a "fix". And I don't think there's a fix solution. And yeah, I stammer mostly because of anxiety attached to my stammering. I just wanted to know, what others stammers a...
Very good insight and thank you, brethren. This may sound crazy but when I started working for this company, I had a warehouse gig and there were something like 20 or so employees. That was in 2010 an...

Severe [sometimes] Stammering! Any advice? Hey all! My question is what technique (like Yoga, Mediation, breathing exercise ) is useful for controlling my stammering. Sometimes I stammer very badly an...
I’m in a very similar position to you and know exactly what you’re going through. Something that has helped me a lot is drinking green tea. It has a very calming, mood-balancing effect and helps with ...
Social anxiety and stutter getting worse
Social anxiety and stutter getting worse First time posting in this sub so howdy everyone. 30 year old male and I've stuttered all my life. I never really cared about it up until when adulthood real...
