Answering questions in class

Answering questions in class Does anyone else have problems answering questions in class? Like especially in Math for me, I can't say words aloud like 1,2,3 etc. I always mumble the answer to myself o...

I know a lot of people like to say that it's just the nature of stuttering. But let's try and analyse what could be affecting our speech more on some days. This is a topic that has troubled me a lot. ...

Thanks for this post. Although there are some parts id have to disagree with you on. Firstly, I was mercilessly bullied as a child for my stuttering so to say that people did not have as bad of a n...

Fuck yeah, you have a chance at dating. As long as you've got a heartbeat, yes, you totally do. First thing is get rid of the thought that you are somehow not worthy. That is false. We, as stutterer...

I agree that stuttering is very mental. When I don't think about it, I talk fluent. Just a shame I'm thinking about it 99.9% of the time...I think it's linked with anxiety massively....

"Most girls dont care much about stuttering" I really have to disagree with you. Where I live, females are a bit cold in their personalities and if you have a notable stutter you really need to compe...

It's hard to say how bad it is, but generally there's a block every sentence or two at least. It changes based on comfort level. Speaking in front of a group causes me a lot of anxiety, but I talk q...

You sound like you're in a very similar spot to me, I'm 22 though. I can't introduce myself well, but can have a reasonable conversation with someone I'm comfortable with. I've found it best to meet p...

It makes dating sure as hell a lot more harder, but not impossible. Develop some thick skin for inevitable rejections and keep going until you find the right partner....

It won't necessary ruin your chances. It still comes down to how you compose yourself around others. Make a joke about it to lighten the mood and not have it be the elephant in the room. You'll want t...

Meh, the largest effect is the affect on your confidence. Most girls dont care much about stuttering, a handful finds it "weird" and not attractive and some find it cute. If it stops you from speakin...

Do I have any chance of dating with a stutter?

Do I have any chance of dating with a stutter? I'm 20 years old, and in the next couple of years dating is something I'll really need to be doing. The only problem is that I have a moderate to somewha...

I absolutely dread introductions. I will always stutter badly at the very very beginning, struggling horribly just to get my name out. Then, when I finally get some words out, I gain fluency and carry...

Different to me. When I'm sleep deprived I stutter a lot more....

I have a mild stuttering disorder. In some situations I'm very fluent: with close family members (wife, sisters, parents), with people that I feel confortable (shy people or people in a lower social s...

Thanks everyone for your answers! Some tips you mentioned I'm already using, like adding a word beginning by consonant before saying what I in fact want to say, pushing my diaphragm. However, I still...
