Anyone want to practice over the phone? (Im 18 y/o male)

Anyone want to practice over the phone? (Im 18 y/o male) I've been thinking of what makes me stutter and when I stutter, and I realize that I stutter most when I'm nervous or anxious, and I'm nervous ...

I try to talk about it to my friends too to make myself more comfortable with it, but it seems like they get really awkward and uncomfortable when I bring it up :-/...

Same here. It's been getting worse for me tough. I didn't really realize I stutter until a few months ago, but someone was telling me I stutter a lot. Then someone else mentioned it. I'm getting more ...

Hey thanks for the advice and book recommendation. I am 21 years old. I've honestly never really cared for my stutter in the past. When I opened up to my friends that I stutter they were shocked and t...

How old are you? I'm 33 and I grew up stuttering pretty severely and conditioned myself with some pretty hardcore anxiety - social anxiety is probably the worst part of it. It got so bad at one poin...

Stuttering/Anxiety My stuttering goes to overdrive when I am explaining something to my friends or just hanging out with my friends in general. I am absolutely horrible at telling stories as you can i...

I was at a job interview yesterday, where every time I was trying to get a point across and was hampered by my stutter, I could feel the flow sort of slipping away. It's strenuous....

Sorry to hear that you are struggling like this - I have a stutter as well, and it definitely makes things difficult. I feel that career-wise I am limited because I can't speak well in front of others...

I've had the same problem when I'm confronted by an authority figure. There's a lot of nervousness that can kick in when I sort of feel I'm being asked to defend myself, even though usually they're ju...

Yes. That's what I have experienced - although I don't seem to have problems with S's. It's other words, instead. I was watching this [old Dustin Hoffman interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg...

Yeah, I get this often. It's the worst when somebody catches you off guard. Like when someone asks you for directions and you tell them you don't know just to avoid having to speak a long time. ...

I lived through this exact same thing! I worked in a transportation job that required constant 2 way radio communication with dispatch and the first several months I did fine by first taking a deep br...

When I had my last oral exam I told them I did have a stutter. I was hiding it for the most part at that time. But by telling them that i did stutter it released the stress for me. ...

That's a horrible way to look at it. Just tell the audience you have a stutter. Get rid of the elephant in the room before it becomes a problem to you....

The way I've always described it: I stutter because I'm nervous and I'm nervous because I stutter....

I've always wondered that, but I don't think so - but all those things would exacerbate the issue. When I'm anxious/depressed/stress my stutter is just much worse. I believe singing uses a different p...

Can a stutter be caused of anxiety/depression/fear?

Can a stutter be caused of anxiety/depression/fear? When i sing i don't stutter, when i'm alone i don't stutter, when i tried MDMA i didn't stutter, when i'm drunk i hardly stutter. Do you think that ...

I wouldn't be surprised. I find myself out of breath and my heart going at it after I finish a sentence with a heavy a stutter. That's why people recommend anxiety pills to stabilize the stutter a bit...
