I agree it's pretty hard, I catch myself getting scared sometimes and substituting words. I think the reasoning behind it is to reduce anxiety and to not let your stutter hold you back. I remember r...

I came here for the same reason, and just submitted my first post yesterday! It's helpful for me to know I'm not alone and can connect with others who have had very similar experiences. I think your...

Wow, drill sergeant has to be one of the most effective methods for working through anxiety! You know I notice the more confident I am, the less I really care about how I sound, and the more fluent I...

That's interesting, I think I can relate to your experiences. Some days I feel social, engaged, and confident ... and then the days where all my energy is spent for some reason, my confidence is shot...

Interesting that you say that. Don't you fear that they'll think you're overly nervous if you do not mention it?...

Not sure where to go from here

Not sure where to go from here Sorry for the long post, but I have a lot I'd like to get off my chest. First, I've had a stutter all my life. It comes and goes, and I can even remember days where I di...

I don't get anxious about it but hearing other people stutter does make me uncomfortable in a way. Whenever I've run into another stutterer in real life there's been kind of a weird thing in the air. ...

Thanks for the support man. We do share some striking similarities. That's kinda crazy. If you say you played on Burning Blade server on WoW I'll be really freaked out. I know exactly what you me...

Yeah confidence issues can block flow of speech. But it's also important to know how speech occurs which is naturally. NOT by force or techniques when u consciously move your tounge in taught ways to...

Wow, that's tough. Is your stutter tied to anxiety? I know mine is. Supposedly the best way to counter anxiety is by gradual and consistent exposure to anxiety inducing situations, but you probably kn...

Hey man, thanks for replying. I tried going to a stutter chapter locally here in California, the thing is before going there I went 2 days with almost perfect fluency and then when I got there I stut...

I think it's more that it reminds us of our own stutter, not that we're having a reaction that everyone without a stutter has. I tend to pick up on little details in the speech of others that informs ...
