Hi /Stutter, I am a 3rd year University student, looking at the effects of alcohol on stuttering and thought some of you could offer up honest opinions?

Hi /Stutter, I am a 3rd year University student, looking at the effects of alcohol on stuttering and thought some of you could offer up honest opinions? Hi, now this is in the early stages of developm...

A lot of people report increased fluency when acting. Likely because they are no longer taking on the persona they see themselves, as a stutterer, but as someone else and it serves to distract them fr...

Just act like you would talking/listening to anyone else. I am the first one to admit that talking to someone that stutters is awkward. I even try to avoid speaking with other stutterers because it ma...

Yeah, judging from all the great and helpful answers given here, it obviously is very different from person to person. I don't think I know him well enough yet where it would be comfortable (for eithe...

It's different for different people and I think it depends more on personality /psychology than anything. For me, it loosens me up and the natural anxiety in me doesn't act up as much. But unless you'...

To those of you who stutter: what is the ideal way for someone you don't know well to converse with you?

To those of you who stutter: what is the ideal way for someone you don't know well to converse with you? I don't stutter, and have only known a few people with very mild stutters (I didn't notice that...

This is an excellent response. I agree with everything and I feel like I have a lot in common with your situation and how you view your stuttering. I have actually started meditating a little bit on m...

small talk is hard. I can only go it when im in a group of friends and I can pick my moments. But being boring and quiet and worse than being stammering and engaging. It's a mental hurdle a lot of us ...

I believe that I stutter because I don't want to stutter. edit: I have this unmanageable fear that the other person will judge my speech that I second guess myself. /edit I'm so wrapped up in my head ...

That could be it too actually; I find myself struggling more with new girls than friends I've known for years...

I'm 21 with a stutter and completely socially awkward... when will i get over this?...

I have never actually measured this problem. But for the most part I have been the opposite, I have used every trick in the book when conversing with a female... I have to be very conscious of my spee...

Don't know why, but I'm very comfortably around women with my speaking. Hardly any stutter. This goes only for conversations which are going on. Talking to a stranger is an obstacle, but that doesn't ...

Anyone here struggle more when talking to the opposite sex?

Anyone here struggle more when talking to the opposite sex? I find that I stutter more intensely when I'm trying to talk to girls than when I'm with my bros. that makes me even more nervous, and conse...

It depends on the people I talk with. I haven't figured it out yet, but a certain kind of people just make me stutter. I think it's because they give me the feeling that they don't really care what I ...

Yes, of course. I have experienced something similar! I used to hate small talk when I was a kid because small talk meant taking in front of many people with all of their attention on you. Terrifying....

It gets worse the more nervous I am, that is true. But I can't help becoming nervous whenever someone asks me something (even my family), because I know I will fail. That wasn't as big of a problem ...

Maybe it's because you're nervous? You know, a new surrounding, new people and you know you have this stutter, seems to me your nervosity is causing the stutter (just guessing here), perhaps you can t...

I did this once and it helped to get the pressure off. It was in a high school english class and the teacher was making everyone read aloud. When I walked into class one day and saw books on all the d...

I usually speak pretty fast in general. I never knew why, if it was just anxiety that if I speak fast enough, would I not stutter?...
