Exhausted by Life Long speech impediment Stuttering has always hindered my life for as long as I can remember. Countless times I avoided conversations so I wouldn’t embarrass myself, sometimes to my d...

I’ve known a few stutterers who are almost fluent around close family in general (and pets/inanimate objects). This is just off of personal experiece, but I think it has to do with anxiety tensing the...

Hey bud. Don't feel this way! Yeah you shouldn't. Well, I find it a little better than speaking to a large group of people where there are more eyes on you yes? So the less people, the better. Will ...

Hello friend! If your speech is similar to [Matthew at 0:50](https://youtu.be/rw04IXYpQgQ?t=47s) what you are experiencing is called dysrhythmic phonation, it is a type of stuttering. I see that you...

Hey man yes it is strange. I believed it is only psychological, reduced stuttering due to reduced anxiety but it seems not to be only that. It seems to work also in non-stress situations like reading ...

It's different from person to person, but for many, yes this is exactly what happens. I'm not sure we know why for sure yet, but my guess would be increased anxiety when speaking to someone else exasp...

Great job! Anxiety obviously got you at the start but that is something that we can all relate to I'm sure. Video was plenty entertaining though and your work is fantastic. Photography is such a grea...

Omg I know! And how can you explain if you’re blocking? People’s reactions can be entertaining in and of themselves. But, the assholes can be really hurtful. How can you plan for it? The desensiti...

I would put it that way yes. It's just harder for people like to me be relaxed in front of others. Others can do it fine in both situations......

As far as the evidence shows to date: no. Do I personally believe it's possible? Idk, maybe. Personally, I find that stuttering is a very psychologically driven phenomenon. Yeah, I fully agree there...
