Thank you. Regarding the point on how I'm not sure what I'm doing, that's due to more factors than just my stuttering. I just want to take a different direction I think and my major (Political Scien...

I think you really shouldn't let it affect so much of your life. I am in my university right now and there are numerous presentation. Also I stuttet quite a lot, my professors do ask me first if I am ...

I've been a uni for some time now, and it was definitely my first uni presentation. In high school I was fine with presenting, I stuttered very little during the presentations I wasn't really known f...

No and that is why I think you should let them know. Im pretty sure I got penalized for those few instances of stuttering because the examiner mistook them as a sign of non fluency in English. ...

Well yeah could, but I always feel super judged and embarrassed for being a stutterer... I know i shouldn't care, because I can't do much about my stutter, but so many have pointed it out that I stutt...

Meditation has helped my anxiety a lot. I used to feel very anxious all the time when being around people. I have done meditation for a bit over a week and I feel a lot calmer around people. Worth try...

I have always been very scared of making phone calls to strangers. One summer I gathered all my courage to call for a summer job. When I started explaining my reason for calling... I stuttered really ...

I don't think it would work... like ShutupPussy said the more you are afraid of stuttering you are the more you will stutter. It kind of feed of your fear and avoidment methods (if you have any). But...

I think something like this would be awesome. I'd love the chance to speak to other fellow stutterers who i don't have to worry will judge me. I can totally relate to the social anxiety thing and stu...

It's an interesting theory, but the problem with expecting pain when you stutter is it's only going to make you more afraid to stutter and therefore more afraid to speak. We already expect pain when w...

Because your anxiety isn't on your mind, you aren't thinking about the stutter so you speak mostly fluently. One of the worst aspects of stuttering in my opinion...if only we could forget we have it...
