I am asocial And I feel bad about it. The only conversation I bother having is non-vocal i.e. texting. I don't go to parties, and when I do I dread every second of it. In casual conversation I cann...

Usually, if I'm having a hard time with my speech, I'll pretend to imitate someone like Jordan Peterson for example. I'll just visualize an image of him in my head and then imagine my voice as his own...

If it s a behaviour than it can be unlearned to some extent. Also speech impediment may cause blocks , repetitions , but they don't cause the tension we feel. Speech impediment by themselves are neut...

Like I said, I had an on and off stutter when I was kid so I can at least understand where your son's coming from. I never went to any speech therapy classes nor attended any NSA events. It simply wen...

Ouch, that's rough, we've all been there. I too don't really stutter, it's more like I can't say the word and so I make substitutes. Most likely, however, since no one knows about your stutter as you'...

Repetitions? a little bit. My biggest issue will always blocks.. Growing up, I was one of those kids who would be like: "h-h-h-h-h-h-h-hello". My parents put me in speech therapy when I was young an...

I think speaking slowly is the one thing I need to work on. It’s because I think so much that I try to get everything all out. So I stumble and stutter and sometimes even mix words around like “you ha...

When necessary to deal with the block I elongate the first sound (eg “ssssssnake”) where possible. If it isn’t possible because the first letter is a harder round like “c” I reorder or replace the wo...
