surprisingly, I am a lot more clearer (without stutter) while on the phone. Its when I'm in person making eye contact in a live conversation where i fumble or get anxiety about fumbling which causes ...

I feel you, I’m also almost always on the outside looking in. So hard to break into conversations when people are talking fast and take no regard to your stutter. Also people often choose to speak wit...

Could be many things. But the child is probably more comfortable stuttering in front of his family, so doesn't try to hide it. But feels the need to be fluent with outsiders, prob because of social pr...

I WFH in Albuquerque for a Los Angeles hospital and we have to do something similar. I regularly speak to an audience of 40 on Zoom. It sucks but, push yourself, and you'll make it through. However, d...

Yeah holly shit, same here. Or like I can't talk to people who talk too fast. It just feels like they judge me everytime I talk because I talk slower....

Bro it's exactly the same for me, also never stuttered at my speech therapist, also almost don't block in groups/with friends in general Do you also block more with some people than others?, When talk...

This is a great question. In scholarly papers it is usually depicted as, “Y-y-y-you..” Are you the one writing? If so try not to lean into the part word or single sound repetitions. The single sou...

(i'm totally in the same boat as you) i think this all depends on the situation, if your with colleagues at a restaurant or party most people there will know you and a quick hand up with eye contact ...

on the same boat. I would start with making 1 friend and then gradually meeting new people and expand. Usually I do alright with 3 people total....

It is very difficult as a stutterer for sure to add your input to groups when everyone else is talking really quickly without blocking up that you almost feel intimidated or envious of them having a l...

It's incredibly hard for me to talk sometimes if it's loud in the background, not always though. If it's just loud I'm alright but if it's loud and chaotic it's very hard if that makes sense....

Good to hear that I’m not alone! Not sure what could be done about it though; loud environments would disrupt even normal speech to an extent and I guess it would be naturally worse with a stutter. An...

Yep I have the exact same thing. Loud, unorganized environments make it much harder for me to speak, too. One-on-one conversations work quite well but once I'm in the city, for example, I can't speak ...

Yeah it definitely sticks in my head when it happens. Just thinking about that one fucking word, practicing it alone with no issues. There's just something about saying to groups of people that makes ...

Drive throughs are the worst. Something about knowing people are behind me waiting makes it harder to get the words out....

Maybe your family have bad communication skills which cause you to stutter more around them. Speaking is a two way street. If your family is large it can be very hard to get a word in edgeways puttin...

It doesn't work like that. You will stutter and that's completely fine. The more I worry about stuttering the more I stutter. The best possible thing you can do is relax and get comfortable. If you...

Thats the case for me atleast i can do what the hell i want myself but when someone is standing beside me im stuttering like never before...

It'll get worse before it gets better. Know this and hang in there. Working a job with public interaction will definitely be challenging, but it's the challenge that will make you explore new ways of ...

The gesture is very sweet, i hope someone reacts to you 🙂 i myself so play games but I’ve come to the point where i rather mute my mic, play solo or with family members....
