I have a stutter and I clutter sometimes as well. You're not alone. It can be embarrassing. And like you, I too have high anxiety because I'm so aware of it. And it makes me think about how others per...

Absolutely. Preparing like that just serves to build up anxiety. I've found I'm usually much more fluent when I just kinda talk instead of thinking too hard about what I'm going to say. ...

100% I think the key is allowing anxiety to build up around thinking. I find it to be an art regarding controlling yourself before and during speaking. Some days I stutter more got no particular rea...

The causation doesn't necessarily go that way. Stuttering and anxiety are symbiotic; both can exacerbate the other....

I don't believe there's a cure but I have social anxiety and depression and recently realised every negative feeling I have due to stuttering is actually a symptom of social anxiety. On 'good days' wh...

I don't understand how everyone in this thread is so delusional. Of course it's not in your head; it's weird and awkward as fuck seeing someone stutter. It's embarrassing for everyone involved, and wi...

Is it really anxiety based though? I want to believe that too, but people on here keep saying it'll never be cured....

I honestly wouldn't care about other people either , except that sooooo much of my life success depends on how I am able to present myself to them. If I come off as an awkward babbling buffoon as I ...

Well, do you tell them 'no, I just have a stutter'? That solves the problem. There's a lot of people coming to this sub, because stuttering is a downwards spiraling of anxiety which only gets enhanced...

Is anyone familiar with cluttering, a related condition to stuttering?

Is anyone familiar with cluttering, a related condition to stuttering? I have had a problem speaking for more than 20 years. I have what is known as cluttering, which is related to stuttering. My prob...

I can confirm, mindfulness and a proper daily meditation practice has GREATLY increased fluency and made me care less about how other people think of me. Also eradicates anxiety overtime with a decent...

A good anxious Hey guys I just wanted to put this *somewhere* on Reddit. I texted a guy that I've liked but haven't seen in a while, and he responded and wants to take me out next week. :) I think he...

Mindfulness and Stuttering?

Mindfulness and Stuttering? This was the exact question I asked my mother when she wanted me to become more spiritual. She used to be a yoga teacher and advised, when I was younger, to practice mindfu...

Aah, just had to turn it in my head but that makes sense. The anxiety of failing leads to more anxiety which leads to more failing etc, right? ...

Hi. I have been through how you feel and even now there are moments when I get anxious or depressed because of my stuttering. But here's the thing you can be an efficient communicator despite your stu...

I don't think it's your stutter that makes people nervous or uncomfortable. I have a severe stutter. When I struggle a lot and feel frantic and ashamed while talking, other people feel nervous and unc...

Hi there. I know how tough university can be. Pulling all nighters, being exhausted and then stuttering worse when there's a presentation. :/ I'm not the best person to give advice, more just telling...

I understand we're you're coming from and I know its tough. The important thing to remember is that most people won't care that you stutter. Even if they do, its much more important to stutter through...

You could start by telling people how to relax. Different practices/methods that can help reduce anxieties (since you mentioned it's anxiety based). Maybe, if you know it, expand on what happens insid...
