Experience from a 40 year old…

Experience from a 40 year old… Long post here… I’m 40. My stutter generally comes with certain word blocks. Most people don’t know that I have a stutter since I’ve learned to mask it well over the y...

I relate, the morning in class I'm quiet, thinking I better not to talk. But then I realise how bad this idea is, and that I actually wanna et will talk. Idk, it's very weird... At least I'm happy I f...

I normally do not stutter when I am not planning out my words. When I do plan out my words, like when I am in line about to order Starbucks, or when I am walking towards someone planning to say “happy...

What helps with stuttering?

What helps with stuttering? Hey y’all - I’ve had a stutter for as long as I can remember. It’s not too bad, but it’s definitely there. I hate when I can literally *feel* the stutter coming when I’m a...

I was thinking about this at work today and something that I have been brainstorming is buffering out blocks B/c I wear a face mask at work it hides the weird face muscles I make when I'm getting blo...

Can't start to speak because of blocks

Can't start to speak because of blocks I feel I can't physically talk anymore when outside. I'm afraid that when I try to say something my voice will get block and embarass myself. My fear is mostly a...

Is anyone else more fluent when under pressure?

Is anyone else more fluent when under pressure? I don't know if "under pressure" is the right way to describe it, but for example when I have to answer a question the teacher asks me. I have been able...

I don't have a smart watch, but I can physically feel my heart rate increase out of anxiety of anticipating my stutter. But it only happens with ppl I don't know or in a professional setting where the...

It wasn't what you asked for or very helpful but I think we all sort of get raised heart rates when stuttering or even speaking. It would be better if we could get rid of the idea that we're going to...

Omg BRAVOOO!!! This document is unbelievably helpful. I always hear tips about reducing stutter but never heard this type of advice (sorry if that doesn’t make sense lol). But like omgggggg, I never t...

Is there any hope?

Is there any hope? I'm 19 years old college student, today my teacher made me read a chapter in front of everyone and i read it very well, i didn't stutter (as far as I know) but i had some air gaps a...

No, that would be worse for me since I’d know ahead of time which words would trip me up, so the anticipation would cause the stuttering to increase ten folds....

This is dumb You cant stop anticipating, because you know you will stutter, Dont lie to yourself....

Yeah I would actually count the paragraphs to see what paragraph I would get, and then practice it in my head…. Which in turn made it 10000x worse...

Yes i do have the same stutter.I researched about it and i was told the stuttering is from the mind.The reason you dont stutter when having a random convo,is because you dont think about stuttering. T...

Being able to train your brain to stop anticipating a fear is *very* challenging for some. When someone gives that advice, have you asked how it has helped them? (It’s possible they are giving advi...

Yep same here. Thinking about what I’m gonna say is the worst thing. I’m best when replying spur of the moment. It’s worse when I have to initiate conversation or if I have to ask something or tell so...

That’s the exact way I stutter too, that’s bang on about the impossibility of repeating someone said or telling story. Having thought of what I’m saying, I lose the ability to say it. Is this a differ...
