Think I have some kind of undiagnosed stutter?

Think I have some kind of undiagnosed stutter? I've had a lisp most of my life (I'm 20) but have managed to mostly overcome it. However I've realised that I still have some issues speaking which are k...

Any tips for controlling my stammering?

Any tips for controlling my stammering? So, today I had my first presentation of life (I'm 20 years old). Needless to day, I stammer like hell, fumble on the word a lot. The professor asked to calm do...

Well, for me I tend to be more fluent in situations which are completely new, so I don't have time to think about if I am going to stutter. Maybe it could be the case....

I honestly don't know. I would think I'd stutter more at college. It being a new area with new people. Nobody at my home does anything to "stress me out"...

If it helps, I was in a similar situation. I wanted to speak to a girl but was worried about my stutter. The first time I spoke to her I had problems getting my words out, but I somehow got through it...

When I'm in a situation this tough I'd change my goal from trying to have a decent conversation to accepting it'll be terrible and embarrassing, but doing it anyway. It's a little bit of a cop out bec...

Honestly, you either bite the bullet and start talking to her. Or continue being the quiet kid who will one day regret never speaking to that one girl. Either way you're going to stutter, either way...

I thought I was the only one that goes through this pain. Tried breathing techniques, but when it's my turn to make an order I just lose it. Some times when you ask a friend to order for you or talk t...

Anyone got any tips or tricks for ordering at cafes or restaurants?

Anyone got any tips or tricks for ordering at cafes or restaurants? The place I have the most trouble with my speech is ordering at the counter of restaurants, cafes or fast food places. I tend to get...

My speech is very disjointed and besides stuttering and trying to hide it with umms like the other post here said, I cannot visualise/compose what I'm wanting to say and all my words come out and do n...

from 1 to 10 I'd say 6 or 7, it depends on the situation, I have social anxiety and it can affect my stuttering. My hardest part is to start sentences, especially if the word start on a vowel. Instead...

I used to do this practice too, but mostly for my social anxiety. I used to act interested, talk, listen and after a while lose fake interest and hang up. Free practice once or twice a month or so. ...

He did! He looked terrified to me. Might just be me projecting my own insecurities, but after every question he answered, his eyes opened wide while the guy was talking trying to anticipate what was ...

Telemarketers are great practices for improving speech

Telemarketers are great practices for improving speech Today I received a call from an unknown number, answered it and it was someone who wanted to invite me to attend a networking party in downtown L...

Just read about it. Think I'm going to buy this. I feel anxiety is my enemy. Let's see how it goes. Does this need prescription? ...

Yes, that's one of the main causes of anxiety. I'm anxious cause i want to speak fluently and say what i want to say nicely, and i'm afraid of possible blocks. It's a mind-block that it's pretty hard ...

What's behind the anxiety? Im asking because I used to be anxious about being able to say what I wanted and because of the anxiety I blocked and repeated....

I consider my stutter mild, but it's more than enough to bother me. On a scale of 1-10 it would probably be around 3-4 on a normal day. Many people don't even know i stutter cause i've become very go...

Yes, thats exactly what you need to tell her, how you feel about the conversation and ask her these questions. It may be weird but it's better than feeling bad all the time when you talk with her. For...

It's hard not to because when she stutters I feel bad- like I just want to help her/I feel awkward like I'm staring at her at this moment and maybe she doesn't want me staring at her. Does this make ...
