I sometimes feel like this but you have to look at the value you bring to the conversation. I mean suppose you were with a group of people and this group was discussing a famous musician. Better yet, ...

yes , not because of stutter but because most of the time speaking isnt as important as other things...

Hi, the same with me. I can give a presentation for as long as I want, without the feeling that my stuttering is holding me back. I think it's because I'm speaking loudly and articulate the words prec...

Hmm, how about this bit here? > stutter in that conversation or **sometimes not at all** and I have after thoughts of regret - Perhaps I could ask differently: • What's your success criteria fo...

Speaking loudly, yelling, singing, etc. These all alter how you speak (vocal cords, speech patterns etc) and often improve fluency....

I find that too, if I project my voice I'm more fluent but then I'm a naturally quiet speaker so it's focusing on changing that....

Yes the brain has developed pathways for speaking, which it follows. It so happens that the brain uses a different speaking techniques, style and during all that, a different breathing pattern. Stutte...

Am I going to be stressing over this stutter my whole life?

Am I going to be stressing over this stutter my whole life? As a young 21 year old female I wonder if this anxiety around speaking or the disfluency of my speech will stick around forever. I’ve come ...

I don't like it, but that scene from The Office when Stanley yells at Michael saying "Did I stutter?" doesn't help. I take the whole debate as how u/kfir97 puts it. It isn't a visible disability so it...

That’s an interesting point. I think I’m the same way. When I’m explaining something on a professional level I hardly have any speech impediments, while I do notice then more when I’m just messing aro...

On those 3 occasions, I guess I had good days with my speech. The questions asked were also what I had prepared for, so that helped too. Although i did do a lot of preparation, my answers for the qu...

I think that it has to do with the fact that we not only have to focus on getting the words out but also the words themselves, the grammar, etc. There's simply put too many things to focus on and sin...

That’s exactly how my blocks occur as well. Did some real damage to my teeth in high school, even to the point where I’ve got a few chipped teeth. When you feel the pressure to teeth gnaw, relax and j...

As I understand you can't really cure a stutter. I've stuttered probably as long as I have spoken, and do exactly what you do. I block on "uh" and "ah" sounds, and sentences that begin with "I", which...

I've noticed that I struggle more with words that are more important than others. My own name, the punchline of a joke, things like that. Maybe it was hard for you because the words meant a lot to you...

I love noticing it in that show. I hear a lot that we tend to see our stutter as more invasive than it actually is and this show is a steady reminder of that. The stutter flows perfectly fine even tho...

I’ve used this method my entire life and it works very well. I gave a speech in a political rhetoric class a year ago and I could barely get out the first sentence. I had to start over after about 3 a...

When I’m reading, I concentrate on phrasing. When I’m thinking about where to end the phrase (about every 5 words or so), I don’t think as much about the words I think I’m going to have trouble with. ...

This is really solid advice. I try to do all of them, I definitely have trouble slowing down and taking my time but when I do it significantly helps. Speaking with emotion and intonation, SO true. ...

i relate so much. i began stuttering mildly when i was 6, but i was oblivious to it until i reached the age of 11 and i was trying to read out lines in a school play. i experienced my first ‘speech bl...
