Starring direct eye content during a severe block… doesn’t get much alpha than that....

I do occasionally, but usually only in a block. I will find myself squeezing one or both eyes shut in an effort to push the word out. Of course it doesn’t help. That’s really the only secondary behavi...

I used to do it automatically, but now I shut my eyes on purpose sometimes. I guess I realized that it helps to calm me down enough to get the words out. I usually do it when I don't feel like struggl...

Is there a way to stutter/move past a block in a less creepy way?

Is there a way to stutter/move past a block in a less creepy way? I generally try to move past or manage stutters in a way some people may find creepy or off-putting - i usually do the inhale/exhale m...

Losing eye contact makes it harder to work on anything else. It's like the ultimate form of hiding from your stutter....

I use to do that when I was young lol but now I just hit my damn thighs are stump on the floor to get It out I don't realize I'm doing It until I look back...

yes, I didn't even realize it until my doctor pointed it out but I have stutter induced ticks. I always have to be careful whilw talking and driving because my eyes involuntarily close when I hit a bl...

Yes, but to have eye contact is a lot off pressure because if you stutter the stakes becomes larger....

I believe for at least a lot of people stuttering can be in the body as well. After doing some gut healing, I find it easier to speak and came to the conclusion that for the longest time when I would ...

All of the speaking problems I have instantly go away when I close my eyes. Forget a word, completely butcher a sentence because the words went through my mind faster than I could say them, slur a wor...

In the act of a stutter I break eye contact and look off to the right....

Yeah I do sometimes especially when I'm experiencing blocks, my eyes close until the sound is finally out...

I don't know, I can't see when it happens... wait a minute! I do. Don't know if it happens every single time, never really thought about it but I would imagine so....

I do. I'm trying to reduce it. Although no doubt I'll just replace it with some other "tick" which is how it started anyway. It often causes me mischief as I become literally blind to the world arou...

Do any of you shut your eyes when you stutter, like automatically?

Do any of you shut your eyes when you stutter, like automatically? ...

I stutter in a way that makes me look like I'm having a mild epileptic fit, so no....

I'm not just paranoid about my stutter, I always assume the worst which doesn't help anyone, or any normal situation. It was funny, a little awkward too because they didn't really know what to do. I ...

I have that same problem, and even when I try super hard to be fluent using strategies it can be very tiring and then I need down time...

That makes sense. I usually have repetition and it's rare for me to get blocks, thankfully. I've tried to speak slower and even prolong my words but it isn't always a guarantee it'll work. I didn't t...

I'll take myself as an example. I have blocks. There was one point in my life that I used repetition of the words before the block as a successful way to work through the block. Eventually the brai...
