I have a job where I have to talk to people face to face the entire day. My speech is not improving and I'm not feeling any better in terms of anxiety....

I'm 19 and in exactly the same position mate...I'm on the edge too. I want to see a doctor for medication for anxiety to help it, but just signing in at the doctors and trying to tell him how I feel i...

Social Anxiety/Awkwardness

Social Anxiety/Awkwardness I've had a couple months were my fluency has been great, but I am becoming frustrated. All the friends I made last year have started to drift apart from me and I see them h...

Yeaa.. Presentations fucking blow, but your appearance dictates how your class will perceive you. Be confident, dress to a T, and smile. Don't think about what will happen when you stutter, try and co...

I have a presentation tomorrow and am very nervous. Does anyone have any tips?

I have a presentation tomorrow and am very nervous. Does anyone have any tips? I've been stuttering ever since I can remember. More recently I've developed some ticks and twitches to go along with it....

Well I'm sick of seeing people like you pushing this idiotic positivity bullshit, thinking it can somehow fix everyone's problems, you are not a therapist or psychologist, pseudoscientific personal an...

I appreciate the message. I have my life set up nicely, I work out, go to college, have no financial problems, I grow up in a stable and caring family, I can't complain about missing something in life...

Need a Skype mate

Need a Skype mate My stutter is social anxiety-influenced. I'm fluent when I'm with my close pals but fumble for words when I talk to strangers, have a point to prove, or answer questions. I'm aspiri...

For me, it's led me to be anti social for a significant part of my life and suffer from depression due to it. Wanting to do many things but felt so limited and unjust. Along with my anxiety at the tim...

Stuttering increases the risk for mental problems like low self-esteem, depression and anxiety, which in turn aggrevates one stuttering. That's how it's related to each other....

Well, i took maybe about 20mg and even though i didn't stuttered, i was very anxious up there, like REALLY anxious. So the propranolol didn't helped my anxiety, only like a tiny bit maybe.. It sucks...

I've had to deal with many hardships myself. For me it led to years of hiding my depression before speaking out and getting some help. Its not easy living life like this but it does help to know there...

I just want to say that you don't have to feel like you're forced to live out your self-fulfilling prophecy of having no friends because of stuttering and social anxiety. You have a choice to stay a...

This actually helped me few times reducing the anxiety that not only makes the speech but the whole well being impossible. Don't think you should get used to them though, it doesn't solve anything, ju...

This is nice and all, but it assumes that you can "make friends" in the first place. So many of us have social anxiety and making friends at all is a huge challenge, sometimes as much as dating is....

This is amazing. This states everything so elegantly in a brutually honest manner. I am always stiff, I always try to quickly talk and as a result get asked to dreadfully repeat myself. The social axi...
