Yeah, I guess its just walking in someone else shoes. I do suspect that their level of anxiety is at a much level tier than ours, or mine at least. I imagine non-stutter's nervousness being just a b...

There are lots of reasons why someone could be afraid of public speaking - fear of looking stupid, fear of being judged for what you say or how you look, fear of forgetting your talk, fear of saying t...

People have different reasons for being nervous about speaking in front of a crowd. Stutter is one of them, I'd say. And how we handle being nervous varies. So, I understand that people can fear the s...

My problem is that people find me nervous when I stutter even though I more than often am not. I assume that they automatically assume I am scared shitless and therefore stutter, which ofcourse gives...

I don't stutter. Public speaking is scary as hell all the same. I typically worry that I'll fail to put my ideas across coherently; that I'll forget my presentation; that I'll sound stupid or childish...

Seriously all through college I'd hear so many other students bitching and moaning about how "nervous" they were before presentations. Made me want to hit fools with the back of my hand. ...

Same here, i was talking with my friends who don't stutter and i asked them how they could be nervous talking infront of the class. ...

Well, its much less of a concern of mine than becoming disfluent infront of a group....

Anyone else not understand other people's fear of public speaking?

Anyone else not understand other people's fear of public speaking? As a stutterer, literally the only thing I'm scared about when having to give a speech/presentation is stuttering. I could care less...

I just had my orientation at UofSC last weekend and not gonna lie, I wish I had talked to and met more people. I still had some of that shyness I had in high school. It's a long battle but I think whe...

I realized that my blocking stems from anxiety and anticipation. What I am trying to figure out now is what triggers the anxiety and how to override it. In the meantime Mr. Roboto allows me to "have a...

In my early years of elementary school, I had psychologial counseling - didn't help at all. I suffered from stuttering a lot until high school, then I've enrolled in drama classes. I must say **tongue...

I have rescheduled my college interview 2 times now because I am so nervous how they are going to react. I also have this conspiracy that stutterers are discriminated against at interviews but this re...

I hate saying my name now !

I hate saying my name now ! Some times sutter and some times I don't. It's strange. Whenever I have to tell someone my name, I freeze. I suddenly lock up, I know my name, but it just doesn't want ...

I've had the same feeling. Then I start to wonder if this is how everyone views me. If even a fellow stutterer feels impatient, how can I expect people with out the issue to feel this way? Then one da...

I want to echo what /u/Donna8390 said and think you should find someone that can help her physchological health. My parents didn't know much about stuttering and I was able to hide it pretty well as I...

That's good. She may be too young for mindfulness (or not) but also teaching her to practice letting people judge her (think what they think may be better) is also helpful and empowering. ...

I went for social anxiety which obviously stuttering played a part in. As for finding her, she came recommended from a close friend so I got fairly lucky there. I'm not too sure how to go about find...

I saw a therapist for a few weeks earlier this year. It felt great to tell someone about all the private stuff in my life. And he helped me make some necessary changes that was needed in my life. My d...
